Glass raises a question other materials ignore: should it block the view or let it through? We print both answers in our Manciet workshop, on the vinyl suited to your glass and to the side you apply it on.

Perforated window film (one-way vision) is pierced with tiny holes: from inside, the eye passes through and you keep your view of the street; from the pavement, it is your graphic that shows. In practice, you can cover an entire shopfront without plunging your shop into gloom or depriving your customers of daylight. It is the answer for large glazed areas, the ones people hesitate to cover for fear of closing the business in on itself.
Window graphics are printed for glass and intended for messages that get replaced: opening hours, a new offer, a redesigned logo. So you are not committing to a season or a campaign. For a shop that changes its message several times a year, this turns the window into a living medium rather than a final decision.
On an opaque material, ink is enough. On glass, it is not: light comes through from behind and washes out the colours. CMYK + white printing adds a layer of white beneath the four-colour print, which restores the graphic's density and keeps a logo or text legible even against the light. Translucent CMYK takes the opposite approach and embraces transparency: light passes through the image and takes on its colour, an effect that changes with the time of day. The first serves a message, the second an atmosphere — and you choose knowingly rather than by default.
A pane of glass has two faces, and the vinyl is not the same depending on which one you use. On the inside, the film is sheltered from rain and passers-by; on the outside, it takes the weather and the rubbing, and needs a material designed for that. State the chosen side when you order: the type of vinyl and the finish follow from it — no laminate, gloss or matt, the latter preventing window lighting from reflecting in the graphic.
Start from our standard sizes — 40 x 60, 50 x 70, 50 x 120 or 80 x 120 cm — or take your own dimensions to the nearest centimetre: a shop window is measured, not picked from a catalogue. The cut follows, straight for a solid block or to your path for lettering. Quantity is entered freely and lead time is set in the basket, from urgent to standard according to your campaign deadline. Everything comes off our machines in Manciet, in Occitanie: a single point of contact between your window and the print, nobody else.
