How to Create a Reversed Window Cling

If you plan on using Avery Clear Static Cling Labels to create signage or décor for your windows and doors, chances are, you want to apply them to the inside of your doors and windows, but intend for them to be seen from the outside. That means you’ll need to print them out in reverse.

Today, we are demonstrating an easy hack to make that possible in our free Design & Print Online tool.

Step 1:

Create your Static Cling Label design using the correct template in Design & Print Online. Then save it to your Avery.ca account. If you do not have an account, you can easily create one at no cost.

Step 2: Click Open from the menu in the blue bar.

Step 3: Select Apply

Step 4: Apply
The best way to get a reversed printout is to use the template for one of our Fabric Transfers, instead of the template for our clings. Since, Avery Fabric transfer need to be applied to fabric, they always print out in reverse. Then follow printing instructions as you normally would.

Transfer a Finished Design to Another Product

Did you know that your finished designs can be transferred from one product template to another? All it takes is four easy clicks!

Step 1: Once you have finished and saved your design, click Preview & Print (even if you are not ready to print).

Step 2: Click Apply Design to Another Template

Step 3: Select Your New Template

Step 4: Edit Your Design to Fit the New Template

Use Any Design on Any Template

Similar to the design transfer hack we talked about above is the ability to use any design with any template. This is a handy hack for one off designs that don’t span all products!
A great example of how this hack can be used is when moving designs between Labels and Printable Crafts. For this example, let’s assume you want to take a design found with the Fabric Transfers and use it on a Label.

Step 1: Locate the design that you want to work with and select it.

Step 2: Save the design to your account, prior to editing or personalizing in any way. If you do not have an avery.ca you can easily create a free account within seconds.
Step 3: Next, select Open from the menu
