When you’re ordering transparent stickers from our Transparent Stickers page, you’ll see an option to add a white underlay. This subtle feature can significantly enhance how your stickers look, especially when applied to different surfaces.
Why Use White Underlay?
The white underlay is a backing layer that sits beneath the colors in your design. Its main job is to keep your colors vibrant and your design clear, no matter where you stick it. Without this layer, full-color illustrations or images might appear washed out or faded, particularly on darker or colored surfaces. This can cause your design to blend into the background, making it difficult to see.
In the image above, you can easily spot the difference between the two transparent stickers. The one on the left doesn’t have a white ink underlay, so the colors look faded and blend into the background. On the right, the sticker with the white ink underlay really pops, with bright colors and clear details that stand out nicely. This highlights how using a white ink underlay can make a big difference, helping your design stay vibrant and easy to see on any surface.
Why White Underlay Matters:
Brighter Colors: The white layer keeps your colors vivid and true, preventing them from looking dull.
Clearer Details: Text and fine details stand out more with a white underlay, ensuring your design is always legible.
Consistent Look: Whether your sticker is on glass, plastic, or metal, the white underlay ensures your design looks sharp and consistent.
Creative Freedom: You can create designs that mix transparency and opacity, giving your stickers a unique and dynamic look.
This design is printed using only white ink, without any additional color. The result is a clean and elegant look that enhances the product’s premium appeal.
