Frosted Adhesive Vinyl Printing (Etched)

Elegant Privacy with a Subtle, Etched Glass Look

Frosted adhesive vinyl, also known as etched privacy film vinyl, offers a sophisticated and cost-effective alternative to traditional etched glass. This semi-opaque, 7-mil laminated vinyl creates a private atmosphere for glass interiors and exteriors, allowing diffuse light to filter through and maintain a bright yet secluded environment.

Double-layered UV-printed with a matte frost lamination, this vinyl delivers a refined, etched-glass appearance. The printed colors may appear slightly darker on the clear material before installation, but once the backing is removed and the vinyl is applied, the colors align closely with the provided artwork. Note that the material is not fully transparent and may be slightly visible when applied to clear substrates.

Equipped with a durable adhesive backing, this waterproof and UV-safe vinyl is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, resisting weathering and fading for years. Ideal for window graphics, privacy films, or decorative glass applications, frosted adhesive vinyl provides an elegant, long-lasting solution for enhancing privacy with style.

Vinyl is printed on a single sheet of adhesive material and is not cut into custom shapes. For example, a 24x36 inch order means the design will be printed on one full 24x36 inch sheet without individual cutouts.
