Question
Should I choose inside mount or outside mount for my Window Clings?
Answer
Inside mount is the better choice for most storefronts because the glass protects the cling and helps it last longer.
| Inside mount | Outside mount | |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | Glass shields it from weather | Exposed to the elements |
| Artwork | Must be mirror-printed to read from outside | Printed normally |
| Lifespan | Longer | Shorter |
If you go inside mount, remember the design has to be reversed so it reads the right way from the street. A good printer will handle that during production.
- Outside mount suits short-term promotions, or glass you cannot reach from inside, and needs replacing more often.
- Clean first: wipe the glass free of dust and grease, then smooth the cling from the center outward to push out bubbles.
- Repositionable: static clings use no aggressive glue, so you can peel and realign them if the placement is off.
