What is Transparent Sticker?
Transparent sticker, also known as clear sticker, is a type of waterproof sticker printed on a transparent film (usually made from OPP or PET material). Unlike white or paper-based stickers, transparent stickers have no background color, allowing the sticker to blend seamlessly with any surface.
This makes it ideal for brands that want a minimalist, modern, or “no label” look — especially on clear bottles, glass jars, and sleek product packaging.
Structure & Material Composition
Transparent stickers are made of:
- Face Film: Transparent polypropylene (OPP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
- Adhesive Layer: Clear, pressure-sensitive adhesive
- Release Liner: Silicone-coated backing paper
The entire sticker is waterproof, oil-resistant, and highly durable.

How Transparent Stickers Are Printed
Transparent stickers are usually printed via CMYK or CMYK + white ink base printing:
- CMYK + White Base Layer: Ensures color appears clearly on transparent surface
- CMYK: Fully Transparent
For very light designs (like yellow or white text), a white underprint is essential.
Design Tips for Transparent Stickers
- Use bold fonts with dark ink (black, navy, forest green)
- Avoid pastel colors unless white ink layer is applied
- Test your label on actual surface for contrast
- Keep layouts simple — less is more
