Clear - A transparent printable vinyl with a permanent adhesive that is suitable for flat surfaces. The clear film means your printed design will show through the vinyl itself. Recommended for indoor use only.

The white opaque film means your printed design will not show through the vinyl itself so this material is ideal for creating reverse graphics such as window graphics where you want the design to show on the inside of the window but not outside (the white side of this material should be facing outwards when applied to a glass surface).
