Can I control how see-through my clear label is?

Yes. The clear label material is fully transparent, and you decide where white ink goes under your design. Areas with white ink become opaque, areas without it stay see-through.


Controlling transparency with a white layer

The clear label material itself is fully transparent. To control what's see-through, we print a layer of white ink under selected parts of your artwork. This is called a white layer.

  • With white ink underneath: That part of the design becomes opaque, so colors look solid and text is easy to read.

  • Without white ink: That part stays transparent and the packaging shows through.

This lets you make text readable or highlight a logo while keeping a clean, clear look. You can leave the whole label as a window and only back a few details, or back most of the design and keep small transparent accents.

How to set it up

  • Do it yourself: Add a white layer in your file. Our guide on how to create white layers shows how.

  • Let us do it: Leave a comment when you order and tell us which parts should be opaque, and we'll set it up.
