    We’ll print your clear labels with our 1440dpi Xeikon printers on transparent polypropylene. This provides rich detail and colour so your artwork looks vivid against any background surface. Plus, with FDA-approved toner, they’ll also be waterproof and food-safe. You can even enter your own custom shape and size measurements for a perfect fit. How does clear label printing work? Just scroll down the page to find out more.

    Choose From Standard or ‘white ink’ Clear Labels

    Standard – This involves coloured toner only for simpler designs. However, the printed parts will be very slightly translucent.

    White ink – If you need fully opaque colours, or you need to print images or gradients, then choose this option. The white ink can print any white parts of your design, and also serves as a background layer for the coloured toner.

    Why Choose Fast Labels For Your Clear Labels

    Printed clear labels are perfect if you want that custom shape look and cut without a custom shape price. We’ll take transparent polypropylene and print your artwork with special toners to provide a richly coloured design on a see-through label.

    How Does it Work?

    When the artwork is being created, simply leave the background (i.e. any parts you don’t want printed) blank. We’ll then print the design in full colour whilst leaving the transparent parts exposed. If you’re still unsure, just call us on 01302 288577 and we can double-check your artwork for you. Similarly, if you’re unsure which clear label printing option to choose, please get in touch for expert advice.

    What Are Clear Labels?

    Clear labels are a type of sticker printed on transparent material, such as polypropylene, which allows the underlying surface to show through. This creates a seamless and professional look, as the clear background makes the design appear as if it's directly printed onto the surface.

    At Fast Labels, we use high-resolution HP Indigo printers to produce clear labels with vivid colours and fine details, ensuring your artwork stands out on any background.

    Benefits of Using Clear Labels

    Using clear labels offers several benefits:

    • Versatility: Suitable for application on various surfaces, including glass, plastic, and metal.
    • Visual Appeal: Enhances the product's appearance by eliminating unsightly white backgrounds, providing a sleek and modern look.
    • Durability: Waterproof, tear-resistant, and UV resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions.
    • Transparency: Allows the underlying surface or product to show through, creating a seamless and professional appearance.
    • Branding Flexibility: Ideal for products with transparent packaging, allowing the label to complement rather than cover the design

    Popular Uses for Clear Labels

    Clear labels are popular for numerous applications across different industries:

    • Product Labelling: Ideal for food and beverage products, cosmetics, and household items where a clean and professional appearance is essential.
    • Branding: Perfect for enhancing brand visibility on packaging, promotional materials, and event giveaways.
    • Informational Stickers: Suitable for displaying important information without distracting from the product’s design, such as instructions or nutritional facts.
    • Decorative Purposes: Excellent for adding decorative elements to products or packaging without overshadowing the main design

    Tips for Applying Clear Labels

    To ensure your clear labels look their best, we tend to follow these tips for accurate application:

    • Clean the Surface: Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any dust or oil to ensure the label adheres properly.
    • Apply Evenly: 
    • Avoid Touching the Adhesive: Handle the labels carefully to avoid fingerprints or dust on the adhesive side.
    • Test Positioning: Before fully applying, position the label to check alignment and ensure it’s straight and centred
