What is the difference between a window decal and one-way perforated film?
A window decal is a solid vinyl panel, available in clear, white, or opaque stock, that applies to glass and blocks the view through the covered area. It comes in removable and permanent adhesive grades and is used for logos, sale graphics, promotional panels, and frosted privacy effects.
One-way perforated film is a cast vinyl with a uniform grid of micro-perforations that allows vision and light to pass through from the interior while presenting a continuous full-colour graphic to external viewers. The one-way effect works in daytime conditions when exterior light dominates interior light; at night or in brightly lit interiors the effect reverses. Use perforated film when you want full-coverage window graphics without blocking the interior view entirely.
Are floor stickers anti-slip and safe for public areas?
Yes, floor stickers in this range include an anti-slip overlaminate rated for commercial foot traffic. The standard laminate is R10-rated, covering dry indoor floors including polished concrete, ceramic tile, and vinyl. For wet zones such as cafe entries, outdoor pavement, and building foyers exposed to rain ingress, we supply R11-rated laminate which carries a higher wet-surface slip resistance rating.
Specifying the correct anti-slip rating matters for public-space compliance. If you are unsure which rating applies to your site, advise us of the surface type and location at order stage and we will confirm the correct specification before production begins.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Most products in the window and floor graphics range start at one unit for sample, pilot, or single-site orders. Quantity price breaks apply at higher volumes; the unit cost on floor stickers and window decals drops significantly at the 10, 25, and 50-unit tiers. The live price calculator on each individual product page shows the exact tier structure for the specific product you are ordering.
How long does production take?
Standard production for window decals and floor stickers is 3 to 5 business days after artwork approval. One-way perforated film and vehicle window graphics may add 1 to 2 production days depending on run size and panel dimensions. Large-format orders covering multiple window panels or floor zones are quoted with a specific lead time at order stage.
Rush production is available on standard window decal and floor sticker products for retail fitout and campaign launch deadlines. Contact our team before placing the order to confirm rush availability and turnaround for the specific job and quantity.
Can you print custom shapes and sizes?
Yes. Window decals and floor stickers are available in custom die-cut shapes including logos, branded characters, directional arrows, and geometric forms cut to a supplied contour path. Provide your artwork with a separate cut path layer in the file and we run the contour on the plotter after print and lamination.
Custom sizing is standard across the range. Supply your dimensions at quote or order stage and we cut to spec. For floor stickers, specify the anti-slip laminate rating and adhesive grade alongside the dimensions so we can confirm correct stock availability before production.
What artwork file formats do you accept?
Vector files are preferred for custom-shaped and die-cut products: AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG with all fonts outlined and artwork supplied at 100% final print size. For rectangular decals and floor stickers we also accept high-resolution PNG, TIFF, or PSD files at 150 DPI or above at the final print dimensions. RGB files are converted to CMYK for press, and we flag any significant colour-shift risk on the digital proof before approving production.
If your artwork is below resolution or missing required bleed, our pre-press team contacts you with specific notes before production starts rather than printing at reduced quality.
What sizes are available?
Window decals and floor stickers are available in any size up to the maximum substrate roll width, covering most commercial applications including full-width shopfront window panels and large-format floor zones. Common ordered sizes for window decals include A4, A3, 600x600 mm, 600x900 mm, and 1200x2400 mm full-panel formats. Floor stickers are most often ordered at 400x400 mm, 600x600 mm, and custom shapes from 200 mm to 1000 mm across the longest dimension.
For one-way perforated film and vehicle window graphics, supply your window or glass panel dimensions at order stage and we will confirm maximum print size and trim to your exact specification.
How much do window and floor graphics cost?
Pricing scales by product type, size, quantity, anti-slip rating (for floor stickers), and adhesive grade. Window decals are generally the most accessible price-per-unit entry point; one-way perforated film and vehicle-grade cast films carry a substrate cost premium. The most accurate pricing is the live calculator on each individual product page, which incorporates all size, quantity, and finish variables.
For multi-product fitout orders combining window graphics, floor stickers, and perforated film, contact us for a consolidated quote that accounts for consistent colour output and combined dispatch.
Do you offer eco-friendly or recycled material options?
We stock solvent-free UV-cure ink formulations on flatbed presses, which eliminate the volatile organic compound emissions associated with traditional solvent printing. Some vinyl substrates in the range carry environmental certifications for reduced plasticiser content; ask at quote stage if you have a specific certification requirement for a green-building or sustainability-rated project.
Floor stickers and window decals with removable adhesive also reduce environmental impact relative to permanent installations because they can be removed and replaced without chemical solvents for adhesive residue, and the substrate can be recycled via commercial vinyl recycling streams where available.
Will the print fade, peel, or yellow over time?
Outdoor-rated products with UV-stable inks and an overlaminate resist fading significantly better than unlaminated prints. On window decals and floor stickers with the correct outdoor specification, colour fade is minimal within the rated lifespan. Yellowing is not a characteristic of cast vinyl substrates used in this range.
Edge peeling is the most common early-failure mode for window and floor graphics, and it is almost always a surface-preparation issue rather than a product defect. Clean, dry, grease-free surfaces and correct adhesive grade selection for the campaign duration prevent the majority of edge-peel failures in both window and floor applications.
Can I get a sample or digital proof before full production?
Every order receives a digital proof before production begins. The proof shows the print at exact sizing with the cut path, perforation grid (for perforated film), and anti-slip laminate boundary (for floor stickers) marked, so you can confirm colour, sizing, and design positioning before any material is committed to press.
Physical substrate samples of vinyl and anti-slip laminate stock are available on request for first-time or large-volume orders where confirming the surface finish and hand-feel before committing to a full production run is important for approval sign-off.
Do you help with design for window and floor graphics?
Yes. If you have a logo, brand assets, and copy our design team can build print-ready artwork for a small additional fee. Blank dimension templates for the most common window decal and floor sticker sizes are also available to use as a starting point in your own design software.
For campaign-scale jobs with multiple window panels and floor zones across a single fitout, send through your brand style guide and existing assets and we will match colour and typography across all products in the order so the installation looks consistent across surfaces and materials.
Are window graphics safe for double-glazed or tinted windows?
Standard window decals and perforated film can be applied to double-glazed units, but there is an important caveat: dark or full-coverage vinyl graphics on double-glazed windows can cause thermal stress cracking in the sealed unit because the vinyl absorbs solar heat and transfers it unevenly to the inner glass pane. This risk is most relevant for south-facing or direct-sun windows with dark or full-coverage designs.
If you are applying graphics to double-glazed units, note this at order stage so we can advise on the appropriate specification, including perforated film or lighter-coloured designs that reduce heat absorption. Your glazing supplier should also be consulted for warranty compliance before any adhesive vinyl is applied to the unit.
Can floor stickers be used on outdoor concrete or pavement?
Yes, outdoor-rated floor stickers with permanent adhesive are available for concrete, pavement, and outdoor tile surfaces. The outdoor adhesive is formulated to tolerate temperature cycling, rain, and sustained UV exposure without bond failure. Anti-slip laminate on outdoor pavement stickers is R10 or R11 rated depending on the wet-surface exposure level of the site.
Concrete surfaces require thorough preparation: any sealer, grime, or oil must be removed with a degreaser and the surface allowed to dry fully before application. Rough or porous concrete reduces adhesive contact area and shortens sticker life; on very rough surfaces, a larger-format sticker distributes the adhesive load across more contact points and improves edge adhesion and overall lifespan.

Custom Window & Floor Graphics Printed in Australia
Window and floor graphics turn untreated glass, concrete, and pavement into active brand surface. The range covers digitally-printed window decals in clear, white, and full-colour opaque vinyl; one-way perforated films for visibility-through branding and privacy; anti-slip floor stickers rated for indoor and outdoor pavement; vehicle window graphics; and frosted or metallic vinyl for mirror and reflective surfaces. Each product is printed locally in Australia on commercial-grade substrates matched to the surface, adhesive grade, and campaign duration of the specific job.
Applications span retail storefronts, cafes, hospitality venues, corporate offices, trade show booths, real estate windows, and any location where a flat surface has untapped branding or directional value. Whether the job is a seasonal sale promotion running six weeks on a shopfront window, a permanent anti-slip queue management system on cafe tiles, or a one-way film installation across an entire glazed facade, the same four decisions drive the spec: surface type, indoor or outdoor rating, removable or permanent adhesive, and expected campaign lifespan.
Our window decals for business guide covers adhesive selection, design placement, and installation tips for storefronts across different window configurations. If floor graphics are part of a foot-traffic management or promotional brief, the benefits of floor stickers guide runs through the use cases and specification points worth understanding before ordering.
Shop Window & Floor Graphics by Surface
Surface type is the primary decision because it sets the material, adhesive grade, anti-slip requirements, and outdoor durability spec for the entire order. Four surface families cover the bulk of commercial print-on-surface applications.
Window Glass: decals, opaque panels, and frosted vinyl
Window glass is the most-ordered surface in this range, spanning small cut-vinyl logo decals on a door through to full-width opaque vinyl installations across an entire shopfront facade. Four material variants cover the full application spectrum. Clear vinyl sits on a transparent base that shows whatever is behind it, the right choice for logos, trading hours, and social handle graphics that need to look glass-mounted without reducing window display visibility. White opaque vinyl provides a solid neutral base for vivid full-colour print, used for promotional graphics, sale panels, and branded window messaging where colour accuracy matters more than transparency. Full-colour opaque vinyl prints photographic or illustration artwork for immersive storefront installations, product launches, and seasonal campaigns, effectively turning a window into a billboard. Frosted vinyl simulates sandblasted glass for privacy partitions, office glass walls, cafe frontages, and entries where partial light transmission matters but through-vision does not.
Design placement varies significantly by material type. Our window stickers for retail stores guide covers the design and placement decisions that drive the most foot-traffic conversion for each material variant, including eye-height anchoring for decals, coverage ratios for opaque panels, and frosting patterns that preserve natural light while providing privacy. For a broader read on window graphic applications and adhesive grades, the window decals for business guide is the most comprehensive starting point for unfamiliar buyers.
Floor and Pavement: anti-slip stickers for indoor and outdoor use
Floor stickers are printed on a vinyl face stock bonded to an anti-slip laminate rated for foot traffic. The critical spec distinction for floor applications is the anti-slip rating: R10 is the standard indoor-rated laminate covering polished concrete, ceramic tile, and smooth vinyl flooring; R11 is the wet-zone specification for building entries, outdoor pavement, and cafes where the floor surface may be wet from rain ingress or drink spills. Specifying the correct rating is not optional for public-space commercial installations where slip-and-fall compliance is a factor.
Indoor floor stickers use a pressure-sensitive adhesive designed for smooth flooring; they adhere firmly under normal foot traffic but release cleanly for seasonal floor refresh without adhesive residue. Outdoor pavement stickers use a stronger permanent adhesive rated for temperature cycling, rain, and UV exposure, with outdoor life typically ranging from 12 to 24 months depending on pavement surface condition and direct sun exposure. The benefits of floor stickers guide covers the most common retail and hospitality applications: queue management lines, product zone markers, directional arrows, promotional overlays, and safety compliance graphics. For outdoor pavement installations specifically, the waterproof stickers for outdoor use guide explains the material and adhesive pairings that extend pavement sticker life in Australian sun and rain conditions.
Vehicle Windows: perforated cast film for fleet and commercial vehicles
Vehicle window graphics use a perforated cast vinyl film applied to rear and side windows. The standard perforation ratio is 50/50, meaning 50% ink coverage and 50% open holes, which maintains rear sightline visibility for drivers while presenting a continuous full-colour graphic to external viewers. From outside in natural light the perforation pattern is invisible and the graphic reads as a solid print. Some applications use a 65/35 ratio, 65% ink to 35% open, for stronger colour saturation on fleet livery where external visual impact is prioritised over maximum interior visibility in the specified window position.
Vehicle-grade cast films use a removable adhesive that bonds without bubbling across the curved surface of automotive glass and releases without adhesive transfer when fleet graphics need refreshing. This makes perforated vehicle film the standard specification for fleet branding, delivery vehicle graphics, and company car identification where the message changes with campaigns or contracts.
Mirror and Reflective Surfaces: cast vinyl for high-finish fitouts
Mirror, chrome, and reflective surfaces require a cast vinyl with an adhesive formulation that bonds to non-porous surfaces without air entrapment. The application process demands more care than flat glass: the surface must be fully clean and dry, and the vinyl applied with a squeegee from centre to edge using wet-application technique for large panels to push air pockets out cleanly.
Frosted or metallic vinyl on mirror surfaces is most often specified for bathroom, gym, salon, and hospitality fitouts where the mirror is a key brand touchpoint. Metallic vinyl applied to a chrome-finish feature wall or retail display fixture produces a high-contrast branded panel without requiring a flat painted substrate. For direction on vinyl and sticker applications in commercial branding contexts, our business stickers branding guide covers material selection, finish options, and the most common application mistakes worth avoiding.

Shop Window & Floor Graphics by Use Case
Retail Storefront
Full-width opaque vinyl panels for product launches and seasonal sales, cut-vinyl logos and trading hours on door glass, and one-way perforated film across the full shopfront facade for high-impact coverage without blocking interior light entirely. Floor stickers at entry points for brand reinforcement and queue direction at peak service times. Our window sticker design and placement guide covers the configurations that drive the strongest foot-traffic conversion in retail settings.
Cafe and Hospitality Signage
Frosted vinyl across lower window panels for seated-diner privacy while maintaining street-level brand visibility. Anti-slip R11-rated floor stickers at the entry for wet-weather safety compliance. Directional floor arrows in the ordering queue zone for cafes managing high-volume service periods. For footpath-level visibility, our footpath signage and foot-traffic guide covers A-frame formats that pair with window and floor graphics for a complete storefront treatment.
Directional and Wayfinding
Floor arrow stickers, zone markers, and numbered directional graphics for large retail environments, supermarkets, event venues, warehouses, and corporate office fitouts. Cut-vinyl wayfinding on glass doors and partitions for building directories and room identification. Anti-slip laminate is mandatory for all public-space floor applications regardless of the wayfinding design.
Safety and Compliance
Anti-slip R10 or R11-rated floor stickers for wet-zone compliance, emergency exit path markers, social distancing spacing indicators, and hazard zone graphics. These applications typically use permanent adhesive and white or yellow base stock for maximum contrast and visibility. Custom-shaped compliance graphics are available for sites with non-standard floor layouts or branded safety programmes.
Seasonal Campaigns
Removable window decals are the correct spec for short-run campaigns of six weeks to three months, where the promotion ends and the glass needs to return to a neutral state cleanly. Sale graphics, seasonal messaging, limited-offer panels, and event promotions all fall into this category. Specifying removable adhesive from the outset avoids the cleaning cost of adhesive residue removal at campaign close. The removable vs permanent stickers guide covers the adhesive grade decisions and cost trade-offs for campaign planning cycles.
Trade Show Booths
Full-panel window graphics on booth glass partitions for brand immersion, floor stickers on booth flooring for zone markers and directional flow, and vehicle window graphics on vehicles parked adjacent to the booth footprint. Trade show applications almost always use removable adhesive grades because pack-down and venue compliance require clean removal with no substrate damage.
How to Choose: A Quick-Pick Guide
If you are comparing options across a specific brief, the quick-pick below maps common applications to a recommended starting specification. These are defaults; the quote and proof stage is where we tighten the spec to your exact surface, adhesive grade, and campaign duration.
If your application is...
Seasonal sale window promotion (6 to 12 weeks): removable white opaque vinyl decal, full-colour print, glass-rated adhesive, clean removal at campaign end.
Storefront privacy without blocking all light: one-way perforated film at 50/50 ratio, permanent glass adhesive, full coverage or panelled zone.
Cafe or building entry floor for wet-weather safety: R11-rated anti-slip floor sticker, permanent outdoor adhesive, yellow or white base for maximum visibility.
Indoor retail queue management (refreshed seasonally): R10-rated anti-slip floor sticker, removable indoor adhesive, replaced at each seasonal reset.
...the recommended spec is
Office glass partition frosting (permanent installation): frosted vinyl, permanent adhesive, cut to partition dimension with logo aperture if needed.
Fleet vehicle rear window branding (fleet rotation): 50/50 perforated cast film, vehicle-grade removable adhesive, dimensions to rear window spec.
Outdoor pavement brand graphic (12 months or longer): outdoor-rated vinyl, permanent pavement adhesive, R10 anti-slip laminate, UV-stable inks.
Trade show booth glass or floor (short-term, clean removal required): removable adhesive grade on both surface and floor, confirmed for venue compliance before order placement.
Adhesive Grades: Removable vs Permanent for Campaign Planning
The adhesive grade is the most consequential spec decision for window and floor graphics because it determines how cleanly the product removes at campaign end and what surface condition you are left with. Ordering the wrong grade means either the graphic fails early because the adhesive is too light for the surface and traffic conditions, or the campaign ends and there is an adhesive residue removal problem because the order was over-specified for a short-run job.
Removable adhesive: for campaigns under six months
Removable adhesive grades use a low-tack formulation that bonds securely to glass and smooth flooring under normal operating conditions but releases without adhesive transfer when removed carefully. Standard removable grades are rated for up to six months on glass surfaces in interior or sheltered conditions before the adhesive begins to cure progressively to the surface. After six months, removal becomes harder and the risk of adhesive residue increases. If a campaign is running past the six-month mark, permanent adhesive is the correct grade to specify at order stage rather than discovering adhesive transfer problems at removal.
Permanent adhesive: for installations over six months or outdoor surfaces
Permanent adhesive grades are used for outdoor window graphics, outdoor pavement stickers, one-way perforated films, and any indoor application where the graphic is intended to stay through multiple lease cycles or seasons. The adhesive cures progressively to the surface over 72 hours after installation and reaches full bond strength within a week. Removal is possible with adhesive remover and surface preparation, but permanent grade is not the right call for short-run promotions or any application where clean removal at a set end date is a requirement.
Our removable vs permanent stickers guide covers the adhesive grade decision in detail, including the surface-type and temperature factors that affect bond performance in Australian conditions. For clear vinyl applications on glass specifically, the clear stickers guide walks through material and adhesive pairings by application type.
One-Way Perforated Window Film: Privacy and Branding in One Substrate
One-way perforated film is the specialist product in this range: a cast vinyl with a uniform grid of micro-perforations that allows light and vision to pass through from the interior while presenting a solid full-colour print face to external viewers. The optical effect relies on the contrast between bright exterior light hitting the ink-covered surface and the comparatively darker interior. From outside in standard daytime conditions the perforation pattern is invisible and the graphic reads as a continuous print. From inside looking out, the perforations are visible as a fine dot pattern against the external view, and the transparency of that view depends on the perforation ratio selected at order stage.
Perforation ratios: 50/50 vs 65/35
The two standard perforation ratios represent different trade-offs between print saturation and interior visibility. A 50/50 ratio gives equal area to ink and open holes: the external graphic is strong and vibrant, and interior visibility is maintained at roughly 50% of clear glass. This is the default for most retail storefront and office partition applications where both the external brand message and the interior environment matter to the experience.
A 65/35 ratio increases ink coverage to 65% of the film surface, producing stronger colour saturation and a more solid-looking graphic from outside, at the cost of reducing interior visibility to around 35% of clear glass. Use 65/35 for vehicle rear windows where maximum graphic impact is the priority, or for storefront installations where the internal view is not part of the customer experience, such as a storage or service room window.
Night-time reversal and interior lighting
The one-way effect is a function of exterior light dominance over interior light. At night or in brightly lit interiors, the effect reverses: interior viewers can see outward through the perforations clearly, and external viewers may see into the lit interior through the holes. This is relevant for hospitality and retail applications where the venue is open after dark. If night-time privacy is a requirement, pair one-way film with controlled interior lighting positioned away from the window plane, or specify solid frosted vinyl for the affected panels instead of perforated film.
How a Window or Floor Graphic Order Moves Through the Press
From order placement to dispatch, every window and floor graphic passes through a five-step production process. Knowing the stages helps you plan timelines for retail fitouts, campaign launches, event load-in schedules, and trade show set-up deadlines.
1. File check and pre-press
Within one business day of order our pre-press team opens your artwork file and checks resolution, colour profile (RGB is converted to CMYK for press), bleed, and cut or contour path accuracy. Artwork flagged for resolution or bleed issues comes back with specific notes within the same business day so you can revise and resubmit without losing your production slot.
2. Digital proof
You receive a soft-proof showing the print at exact sizing with the cut path, any die-cut shape contour, and adhesive zone marked. For floor stickers the proof shows the anti-slip laminate boundary. For perforated film the proof shows the perforation grid overlay so you can confirm design elements fall in the correct positions relative to the hole pattern. No production starts until you sign off on the proof.
3. Print
Approved files run on flatbed or roll-to-roll UV-cure digital presses. UV-stable inks are standard for all outdoor-rated products; indoor products use solvent or latex inks depending on the substrate specification. Perforated film is printed on the ink face only; the adhesive liner and perforation grid are factory-applied to the stock before printing begins.
4. Lamination, cut, and finishing
Outdoor window decals and all floor stickers receive an overlaminate for UV and abrasion resistance. Anti-slip laminate is applied to floor sticker stock at this stage, with R10 or R11 grade as specified in the order. Die-cut shapes are cut on the contour plotter after lamination. Perforated film orders have the release liner applied post-lamination and are cut to panel dimensions ready for roll-packing.
5. Roll or flat-pack and dispatch
Large-format window graphics are rolled on a cardboard core to protect the print surface and prevent crease marks in transit. Floor stickers under 600 mm are flat-packed between rigid boards; larger formats are rolled on a core.

Getting the installation right at the time of application is the biggest determinant of how long a window or floor graphic lasts and how cleanly it removes at end of campaign. Follow these preparation and care steps for the best result from every product in this range.
- Clean the surface before applying any vinyl: glass should be wiped with isopropyl alcohol and allowed to dry fully, as any moisture, dust, or cleaning product film under the adhesive causes the graphic to lift at the edges under heat or direct sun exposure.
- For floor stickers, sweep and dry-mop the surface before application; adhesive bond on concrete and tile is weakened by sealer residue, cleaning product build-up, and moisture from mopping applied too close to the application time.
- Apply large-format window graphics using the wet method: mist the adhesive face with a dilute soap-and-water solution, position the graphic, then squeegee from centre to edge pushing water and air out together. Dry application on graphics larger than 600 mm leaves air pockets that expand under sun heat.
- Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to reach working bond before applying sustained mechanical stress, such as cleaning with a squeegee or heavy foot traffic across a new floor sticker installation.
- Clean installed graphics with a soft cloth and mild soapy water only; solvent-based cleaners, abrasive scouring pads, and high-pressure washers degrade the overlaminate and accelerate edge lift on both window and floor products.
- To remove at campaign end: peel from one corner at a low angle (15 to 30 degrees against the surface) with slow steady tension. For permanent-adhesive products, a heat gun on a low setting softens the adhesive and reduces transfer to the surface. Adhesive remover spray cleans any remaining residue without damaging glass or most painted surfaces.
Expected lifespan by product and grade: indoor window decals with removable adhesive last 6 to 12 months before the adhesive begins to set. Outdoor permanent-adhesive window decals and one-way film are rated 3 to 5 years. Anti-slip floor stickers on indoor smooth flooring typically last 12 to 24 months under normal foot traffic before the edge adhesive begins to lift. Outdoor pavement stickers rate 12 to 24 months depending on UV exposure and pavement surface condition and texture.
Why Print Window & Floor Graphics With Paperlust
Every order includes a pre-press file check and a digital proof before any production starts, so resolution issues, missing bleed, and incorrect cut paths are resolved before press rather than discovered in the shipment. Australian printing with locally stocked substrates means no freight delays or customs uncertainty when retail fitout deadlines, campaign launch dates, or trade show load-in schedules are fixed points.
The range of adhesive grades, surface types, anti-slip ratings, and perforation ratios is matched to real commercial applications rather than a single generic sticker product. If a fitout job covers window graphics, floor stickers, and perforated film across the same site, all three can be ordered together with consistent colour output from a single production run, simplifying approval and dispatch coordination. For a broader read on how vinyl and sticker products support commercial branding programmes across print touchpoints, our business stickers branding guide covers the full print-on-surface product set available for retail, hospitality, and corporate fitouts.
