Reverse stickers, along with clear stickers and transfer stickers, are the three types of window stickers that can make your store signs dazzling. Each type has its own features that are suitable for different purposes of a store owner who wants to take advantage of their most visible valuable space. Wherein, reverse stickers, the standout one with distinctive and unique features, are ideal for displaying in storefront for seasonal and short time use.
In this article, let’s discover what reverse stickers are, why they are the best fit for your occasional storefront display and how to utilize them effectively without exerting too much effort.
1. What are Reverse stickers?
Reverse stickers are sticky pieces that have an adhesive side on the front rather than the back of it. This is the reason why they are also called front adhesive stickers. For most applications, these stickers are designed for applying to a window’s interior, thus they have another name as “inside window stickers”. However, there are other types that also can be used as window stickers (such as clear stickers, transfer stickers, and other formal stickers), so this one is usually called by the first and the second name.
At CustomAny, the stickers with an adhesive on the front, are made up of 5 layers: the lamination, the printed ink, the clear vinyl, the adhesive and a thick backing. We print your design on an ultra-clear layer of vinyl. For optimal vibrancy, some colors was printed with white ink behind them. Then a gloss laminating layer is applied to behind the ink layer to shield the stickers against water, sunlight, and scratches. On the front side of your sticker, we apply a layer of adhesive, and finally a thick backing layer to give a luxury feel and make reverse stickers simple to peel off.
When utilizing front facing adhesive stickers, you need to clean the surface first to make sure no dots are left behind because it will greatly affect the quality of the sticker when viewed from the outside. Then, gently peel the backing paper off, grab the sticker backwards and apply it to the inside of the glass door. Use a credit card or a coin to rub on the surface to push all the air bubbles out so your reverse sticker will stick firmly for the time to come.

Fade-proof and water-proof
Reverse stickers, with the sticky side on their front, adheres to the inside of windows. In addition, these stickers are constructed of waterproof plastic. These features limit their exposure to environmental factors like temperature, wind, rain or humidity, so they are resistant to fading in the sun, water, and scratches. To make these stickers resistant to moisture, corrosive oils, and other chemicals, we also cover the printed layer with a transparent gloss overlaminate. The laminate provides remarkable endurance by shielding the printed layer, which makes them intended for use for up to three years.
Tamper-proof
Contrary to the stickers with adhesive on the back, reverse stickers are made to stick inside of a transparent surface, such as being used like glass door stickers or car windshield stickers. There’s no way for people outside or passerby where you put the sticker to touch it. Thus, using this type helps prevent stickers from being scratched or ripped off against the wishes of the user.
