Free design proof on every custom order: no templates, no stock SKUs
Double-sided clings carry a design printed on both faces, so a single cling reads correctly to people on either side of the glass. The classic PUSH and PULL door graphic is the simplest example. Made from static cling vinyl, they hold to glass through static attraction alone, with no adhesive to leave residue when removed. Common on storefront doors, mall entrances and vehicle windows wherever a message needs to work in both directions at once.

A cling is a specialty vinyl that holds to a smooth surface like glass through static attraction rather than adhesive. Press it against clean glass and it stays in place, held there by a light electrostatic charge between the material and the surface rather than by any glue. Because there's no adhesive, a cling comes off cleanly whenever it needs to, without leaving residue or damaging the glass underneath, and it can be repositioned or reapplied more than once as long as the surface stays clean.
A single-sided cling only reads correctly from one direction, since the print sits on one face of the material. A double-sided cling solves that by carrying legible graphics on both faces. Either two separate prints laminated back to back, or a design set up so it reads correctly whether it's viewed through the glass from outside or straight-on from inside. The simplest and most familiar example is a PUSH or PULL door graphic: someone approaching from the sidewalk sees one message, and someone on the inside sees the other, both readable without either one appearing backward or mirrored.
That two-way readability is what makes double-sided clings useful anywhere a message needs to reach people coming from both directions through the same pane of glass: storefront and mall entrance doors, office building glass, and vehicle windows where a message should read clearly to someone outside the car as well as anyone inside it. Hours of operation, entry instructions, seasonal notices and simple directional graphics are common uses, since they're exactly the kind of message that benefits from being visible no matter which side someone approaches from.
Because clings rely on snug, even contact with the glass to hold their static charge, they work best on a flat, smooth surface that has been cleaned of dust, oil and old adhesive residue before application. A heavily textured or curved pane holds a cling less reliably than flat glass, and prolonged direct heat can soften the material over time, which is worth factoring in for a cling that will spend months in full sun. For most storefront and office applications, a double-sided cling holds up well through repeated cleaning and can be swapped out for a new one whenever the message changes, with no leftover adhesive to scrape off first.
A cling is a vinyl film that holds to smooth glass by static and surface contact rather than adhesive. That single property is what defines the product: nothing is left behind when it comes off, it can be repositioned freely, and it can be peeled off at the end of a season and stored flat for the next one. The trade is grip. It will not hold on anything textured or porous.
Will it stay up on its own? On clean, smooth glass, yes. On textured plastic, painted surfaces or dusty glass it will not, that needs an adhesive product.
Clings are viewed against whatever is behind the glass, which is usually daylight. On clear film that makes a white underbase essential wherever a color must read as solid. Without it, process inks go translucent against the light and the artwork looks washed out. On white film the material provides the opacity, at the cost of the see-through effect.
Why does my clear cling look faded? A missing white underbase. Tell us which elements must read solid and we lay white behind exactly those.
Glass has two sides and a cling can be applied to either, which changes how the artwork is prepared. Applied inside, facing out, the design is reverse printed so it reads correctly from the street and the film is protected from weather and tampering. Applied outside it prints normally but is exposed. That decision has to be made before artwork, not after.
Do I need to supply mirrored artwork? No. Tell us which side it goes on and which way it reads, and we mirror it in prepress and show the correct orientation on your proof.
Clings are cut to a rectangle or to a contour following the artwork, and because there is no adhesive they can be lifted and repositioned as often as needed. That makes storage part of the specification: kept flat on their backing liner between seasons they last for years, while a cling folded into a drawer creases permanently and will not lie flat again.
How do I store them between seasons? Flat, on the liner they came on. A folded or rolled cling creases permanently and will never sit flat on glass again.
A design printed on both faces so a single cling reads correctly to people on either side of the glass. The street outside and the room inside. That saves applying two separate clings back to back, which never quite align and produce a visible double image. The two faces do not have to carry the same content, and often should not.
Can each side say something different? Yes, and it is usually better: an offer facing the street, opening hours or a thank-you facing inside.
Tell us the glass and which side it goes on before choosing. Those two answers decide the material and the artwork orientation together.
A white ink layer printed behind selected elements on clear film. It is what makes artwork read as solid rather than translucent against daylight, and it is the single most common omission on clear clings.
Artwork mirrored so it reads correctly through the glass when applied to the inside face. The glass then protects the print from weather and from anyone picking at it from the street.
The cling cut to the outline of the artwork rather than a rectangle, so there is no visible border on the glass. It is what makes a logo look applied to the window rather than stuck on it.
Each cling supplied on its own liner. This is storage rather than decoration. Flat on a liner they last years, while a folded cling creases permanently and never lies flat again.

| Cling | From | Build | Order it when |

| Static Cling | $190 | One face, no adhesive | It changes seasonally and must come off clean |
| Double Sided Clings | $240 | Printed both faces | It must read from inside and outside |
Yes, and it usually should. An offer or opening hours facing the street, and a thank-you, a notice or staff-facing information facing inside. One piece of material doing two separate jobs.
Because they never quite align, and the misregistration is visible from both sides as a double image. A purpose-made double-sided cling is printed in register through one piece of material.
For fully independent artwork on each side, yes. Otherwise each face shows through the other. If the two designs are meant to interact, that show-through can be used deliberately.
It sits against the glass like any cling, but because both faces are printed it reads correctly whichever side you view from. Tell us which face should be against the glass and we will orient the artwork for it.
Pricing for double sided clings starts at $240 and moves with quantity, size, material and finish rather than sitting on a fixed list. Setup is shared across the run, so the per-unit price drops steeply as the quantity rises: the gap between a few hundred and a few thousand is usually the significant one. Send the size, quantity and what it has to do and you get a firm figure back, not a range.
There is a practical minimum rather than a hard one. Every run carries artwork checks, a proof and a press setup, so a very small quantity of double sided clings prices poorly per unit even though we will still make it. If you are ordering a small batch, ask for pricing at two or three quantities at once: the curve usually shows that a modest increase costs very little more in total.
The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when the order is placed, which is the part most people are surprised by. You get a proof first: a digital proof showing the artwork in its correct final orientation, with the white underbase areas marked so you can see exactly which elements will read solid and which will stay translucent. Turnaround after approval depends on the finish: anything laminated, foiled or die-cut adds a stage that cannot be compressed without causing problems later. Tell us the date you actually need them and we will work backwards from it rather than quoting a generic lead time.
Print-ready artwork with bleed and a safe margin, supplied as a PDF, AI or EPS. Photographic elements should be supplied at the resolution the finished size needs, not the resolution that looks sharp on screen. If your file is not print-ready, say so when you order. We would rather fix it before the proof than after the run.
Yes. Printed both faces, reads either way is the standard build, and the dimensions around it are yours to set. A size that sits efficiently on the press sheet often costs no more than a standard one, while an awkward proportion that wastes half the sheet does. Ask before you commit and we will tell you whether a small change to the dimensions saves a disproportionate amount.
In most cases they are the same product under a different name: the trade uses several terms for it depending on the region and the supplier. What actually defines this one is the build: printed both faces. Order it when it must read from inside and outside. If you have seen it called double sided clings printing elsewhere, describe what it has to do rather than which name you found, and we will match the specification.
Yes. We provide free samples, and on double sided clings it is worth asking for one, because the difference between clear static vinyl and white static vinyl is obvious in the hand and invisible on a screen. Most orders run on clear static vinyl, but ask for whichever you are weighing up. You also get a free design proof before anything goes to press, so nothing is printed that you have not seen.
The usual choices are white underbase, reverse printing, contour cutting. Finish is not decoration on this product so much as a decision about how long it survives and how it reads in the hand, so it is worth choosing against the job rather than the budget. Tell us where the finished piece ends up and we will say which finish is doing real work and which is only adding cost.
Yes, and that is what almost every order here is. Nothing in this catalogue is a stock item: double sided clings are manufactured to the specification you give us, with your artwork on them. Send your logo as vector artwork where you have it, since that scales to any size without softening. If all you have is a low-resolution file, tell us and we will say what it needs before it reaches the press.
Yes, and a repeat run is simpler than the first one. We keep your approved specification on file, so a reorder skips the setup decisions and goes straight to production. If nothing about the artwork or the specification has changed, there is nothing to re-approve. Tell us the previous order and we will match it rather than starting the specification again.
Yes. Regalo Print has been producing custom commercial print for businesses across the USA and Canada since 2008, and every order ships tracked. The tracking number reaches you the day the job leaves, not the day it arrives. If you are working to a fixed date, say so when you order so the production schedule is built around the delivery date rather than the other way round.
