Shop-window vinyl that works
Shop windows are great for drawing attention both to seasonal offers and to permanent business information – such as opening hours. For the window film we use exactly the films you need for your requirements.
If you need a short-term film, we will offer you a different film from one that is to be used long-term.
We only ever use shop-window films that we have tested and found to be good.
Options for window advertising
The options for shop-window advertising are varied, because in general you can letter any window well. Depending on the purpose, very different motifs will come into their own. This can include a very simple company lettering with the most important information, as well as fun stickers, elaborate glass tattoos and large-scale graphics.
Full-surface window films, or individual adhesive letters?
Depending on the use, you can choose whether you take a window film that covers the shop window completely or whether you only want to put individual adhesive letters strikingly on show.
Shop-window lettering across the full width in the upper third of your window lends itself, for example, when your glass area is very tall and the free area can be used for the advertising lettering. Or when you are planning a new opening and want to cover a window right across with an opaque privacy film.
For a complete privacy screen, the designers at our advertising agency will gladly create layouts for you that include large graphic motifs. During the building phase up to the reopening of a bakery, the window could, for example, include shop-window lettering including a graphic of a large-format bread roll. For the reopening of a perfumery, a sticker with an oversized flacon is suitable. Or you just take your logo and stick it onto the window in a large format.
Individual adhesive letters or window stickers, on the other hand, make you want more and spark the curiosity of the viewers. Anyone who uses these film letters can play perfectly with the different type sizes and typefaces of the individual letters and graphic motifs. Tip: make sure the shop window does not get too crowded.
Film print, transparent or opaque
Besides the size of the window advertising, there is of course also the question of whether your window lettering should be transparent or opaque.
If you choose only lettering without an image and the whole thing needs to be easy to read – as with opening hours or emergency numbers, for example – the colour of your vinyl print or plotter cut should be easy to read. In very dark rooms, a light opaque shop-window lettering is more suitable, for example, so that it stands out from the dark interior. Here you should also consider whether Illuminated letters should brighten the dark corners too.
Window advertising with a transparent film, a translucent film or a frosted film, on the other hand, works super well when the shop-window stickers are not meant to cover the exhibits completely. Your window tattoo should catch the eye from a distance, and the goods in the room should not be covered either.
If we take on the design and the fitting for you, we decide on site, individually according to the conditions, whether we cut your window stickers light or dark on the plotter. Every shop-window film application has to be looked at individually, because every building has different lighting conditions.
Frosted film on the window, or as a privacy screen in the room
Frosted-glass film is very popular both on shop windows and indoors, because these stickers can be used in many different ways.
You can have striking glass tattoos, individual letters and fun stickers printed on frosted film. You can also create a visual privacy screen with decorative glass film. When rooms are to be separated visually, these are used across the full surface, with few or no cut-outs, as room dividers.
Maybe you also need a frosted-glass adhesive film for your door, because you want to cover a transparent glass door? There are so many ways this film can be used.
Weatherproof window stickers for your outdoor advertising
Of course we only have weatherproof stickers for your advertising that is used outdoors. It doesn’t matter at all how big or small the film for the shop window is going to be. And of course our individual adhesive letters are weatherproof and UV-resistant too.
Apply self-adhesive film
Our installation team of course brings its professional equipment, to apply the advertising to your window without bubbles or edges.
Want to apply your carrier film yourself? That works too. Then we produce and deliver your adhesive lettering, vinyl letters and other stickers with your lettering and graphics. But we advise you: only apply small stickers yourself. Air bubbles or tears can appear quickly – and that doesn't look professional and isn't helpful for your outward image.
Window lettering for Krefeld, Germany and EU countries
The registered office of our Signage manufacturing shop in Krefeld on the Lower Rhine. But we’re also very happy to come to you if your company isn’t based in Krefeld. Besides NRW we also supply and install the window film with your advertising in all federal states, and we come to the neighbouring EU countries.
This is how we produce your window advertising
Through-coloured films are cut on the plotter, otherwise our digital printer is used. With digital print the window stickers last a long time, but are still easy to remove. A UV protection laminate then goes on this print. You can choose between matt and gloss. Our milling machine is used as well. If you want to find out more about production, take a look at our machines page as well.

Sure, if you have artwork, we are happy to use your artwork. We need a print-ready vector file at 300 dpi at a scale of 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3.
As every project is individual, we unfortunately can't make a blanket statement on that.
No, unfortunately we don’t.
It depends on your dimensions. In general this works by phone too.
Of course, that is no problem.
You're welcome to send us an email.
Yes, our outdoor stickers are weatherproof.
I'm picturing an oval shape.
That is no problem at all.
For walls there is actually a different film. It depends on the substrate; we would have to look at it and then decide whether it might be possible.
There are limits in the size, or rather in how fine the stroke weight can be; one millimetre, for example, is not feasible.
Illuminated signs, vehicle lettering or complete branding – we advise you in person, with no obligation.
