Clear labels, also called transparent labels, print your logo and text on a see-through clear label stock, so the glass, jar or bottle shows around the art. This page prints on one clear material in 50 sizes, full color or black ink, and 25 labels start at $40.11.
- From $40.11 per 25 labels, with the per-label price dropping from about $1.60 to roughly 8 cents as the run climbs to 25,000.

- 3 business day standard turnaround, with 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush, rated 5.0 out of 5 across 61 reviews.
Print a Label That Looks Like Part of the Product
We print a clear label on transparent material, so your logo and text look printed on the glass, jar or bottle with no white sticker behind them. Candle makers, cosmetic brands and drink brands order clear stock for that reason. If you want a solid white-backed label instead, the Standard Labels cover that, and the clear version sits right beside it for anything that should read as part of the product. Sets of 25 start at $40.11, rated 5.0 out of 5 across 61 reviews.
They print in full color or black ink, and they sit flat on smooth glass and plastic where a thick paper label would show its edge. To compare them with our other clear labels, browse every option on clear labels printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
Clear stock costs more than paper: 25 clear labels start at $40.11, about $1.60 each, where our paper labels start at $23.88. The gap per label narrows as the run grows, down to roughly 8 cents at 25,000. Tap any tier below to see the total at that count.
What Are Standard Clear Labels
Standard clear labels are printed labels on a transparent stock, so the surface behind the label shows through for a see-through, no-label look. They print full color (4/0) or black ink only (1/0) in 50 set sizes, from a half-inch circle up to a 4.625" CD label, on one clear material. Customers use them where a white paper label would look heavy: candle jars, cosmetic bottles, drink packaging, gift seals and window decals. If you want the roll format for a labeling machine, the Roll Clear Labels run the same clear look off a roll.
- Material: One Standard Clear Label stock, see-through
- Ink: 4/0 full color or 1/0 black ink only, front side
- Sizes: 50 presets from a .5" circle to a 4.625" CD label, or custom up to 6" x 5"
- Quantity: 25 to 25,000, up to 12 designs in one order
- Proof: Straight to production, free online proof or next-day hardcopy proof
What Size Should a Clear Label Be
Choose the size by the surface you are labeling. A half-inch circle fits a seal on tissue paper or a dot on a jar lid. Mid-size circles suit a logo on a bottle or a candle, and the 4.625" CD label covers a full disc face. All 50 set sizes, both ink setups, and the proof options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. Need something in between? Set a custom size anywhere up to 6" x 5", and the price follows the size and quantity you pick.
What Ink and Proof Options Do You Get
On transparent stock, the ink is all people see. You pick 4/0 for full color across the front, or 1/0 for clean black ink only when the design is simple. Whichever you choose, you can check the file before it runs: go straight to production to save time, request a free online proof to approve the layout on screen, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to hold the real printed label in your hand first. A proof catches a color or placement problem before the full run prints. For a heavier premium clear stock, the Premium Clear Labels carry the same see-through idea on an upgraded material.
How Much Do Standard Clear Labels Cost
A candle maker labeling 300 jars pays $110.83, and 900 jars cost $158.31. A cosmetic brand filling 25,000 bottles pays $2,108.88, about 8 cents a label, from the same $40.11 start for 25. Drag the slider below to set your count and watch the total and the per-label cost change. You also earn 4OVER4 loyalty coins on the order and can apply them at checkout for up to 11% off.
Wally makes your label disappear
Why a clear sticker looks like it was printed right on the glass.
A pack of 25 standard clear labels starts at $40.11, printed on a see-through material so your logo looks like part of the jar, bottle, or box. Pick a size from a half-inch circle to a CD label, choose full color or black ink, and Wally gets them printed fast, as quick as same-day from NYC.
How Do Clear Labels Compare to the Rest of the Range
This is our lowest priced clear label. If you are also looking at a premium clear stock, a roll format or a solid white paper label, the chart below puts the starting price of each next to this one. For names on sheets or on 3 inch rolls, our name labels range covers roll label printing as well.
How Fast Can You Get Clear Labels
Standard clear labels print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of our NYC plant. Each step buys back time on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. With 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arriving on time and 82% shipping early, the date is not a gamble.
What Do People Use Clear Labels For
Clear labels suit any product where the surface is part of the design. Candle makers apply them to glass jars so the wax color shows through. Drink and cosmetic brands use them for a premium, no-label look on bottles. Shops use small circles as seals on tissue paper and boxes, and the CD label size covers a disc face. For candles on paper or vinyl as well as clear, see our standard candle labels, and our guide to transparent sticker printing covers how the art is set up for a see-through stock.
How to Apply Clear Labels
A clear label shows every bubble and fingerprint, so apply it with care. Wipe the glass or plastic clean and let it dry, since dust and moisture under a see-through label stay visible. Peel the backing from one edge, set that edge in place, then smooth the label from the center out to the sides with a flat card to push the air out. On a round bottle, work around the curve in one direction. Apply labels to a jar at room temperature, not straight from the fridge.

Standard Clear Labels: Frequently Asked Questions
What does a clear label actually look like on a bottle?
It prints on transparent stock, so the glass, plastic or liquid behind it shows through and only your artwork reads on the surface. That is the no label look candle makers, cosmetic brands and drink brands ask for. If you want a solid white background behind your design instead, the standard white label stock is the one to choose.
Why do clear labels cost more than the paper ones?
Clear labels start at $40.11 for 25 rather than the paper starting price, because the transparent film is a different stock. The gap closes on volume: the per label price drops from about $1.60 at the smallest run to roughly 8 cents as the quantity climbs toward 25,000.
How many sizes are available?
There are 50 sizes, from a half inch circle up to a 4.625 inch CD label, plus a custom size up to 6 inches by 5 inches if none of the stock sizes match your container. Candle makers pick a size that leaves the wax color showing through the glass around the art. Rounded corners are a separate option on the rectangular sizes.
Can I print in black only instead of full color?
Yes. The label prints either full color on the face (4/0) or black ink only (1/0). Black only on clear stock is a common pick for minimal skincare and spirits labels where you want just the type to appear on the glass.
What is the turnaround on clear labels?
Standard turnaround is 3 business days. Rush options run at 2 day, Next Day and Same Day if a product launch or a market date is closer than that.
Will the design show up on a dark bottle?
On a clear label, whatever is behind it becomes part of the look, so a dark bottle will show through the unprinted areas of your design. Designs with solid, heavy ink coverage read strongest on dark surfaces, while fine light-colored type can disappear. If you are unsure, order the next day hardcopy proof and hold it against the actual container before committing to the run.
How do I get labels to stick to glass?
Start with clean, dry glass at room temperature, then smooth the label from the center out. Wipe off dust and moisture first, since anything under a see-through label stays visible, and never apply to a jar straight from the fridge. Peel the backing from one edge, set that edge, and push the air out with a flat card. The clear stock sits flat on smooth glass where a thick paper label would show its edge.
