Static Cling

This is going to be the first of a new series of blog posts describing products. We’re focusing on three things What, why and How.

This Week’s post is about Static Cling.

Static Cling

What:

  • Static cling vinyl is a low tack non-adhesive plastic film used for window decals.
     
  • It sticks to glossy surfaces like glass without any adhesive and can be easily removed without leaving any residue.
     
  • Instead of using static electricity, static cling vinyl is a highly plasticized thin film that works like many tiny suction cups. Just like suction cups it works best on glass surfaces.

Why:

  • Static cling is easy to install, reposition, and does not require a professional installer.
     
  • When removed, static cling does not leave any residue.
     
  • Since static cling film does not have adhesive on its back, static cling is often used when the decal is to be easily removed after it has served its purpose.
     
  • Static cling is best used for temporary, seasonal or holiday decorations. For example, when promoting for a new offer at a restaurant or a retail business it is better to use static cling decals to cover windows, glass doors or displays since it can be easily installed and removed.
     
  • Static Cling can be reused if removed properly.

How:

  • When installing Static Cling decals always clean the surface thoroughly.
     
  • Make sure that no debris builds up when removing if you are planning on reinstalling.
     
  • It’s better to place the static cling decals indoors on the inside of the windows.
     
  • The shelf life for static cling decals is short and the vinyl is guaranteed for 6 months.
