Window Cling Sizes for Door Hours, Windows and Panes

Which size fits door hours, a small window, or a full pane?

For door hours, order a 12 x 18 in cling at $32.09, or an 18 x 24 in cling at $42.79 if the hours share space with a logo; for a small window with a name and one offer, a 24 x 36 in cling at $74.89; for one full pane, up to 48 x 72 in at $267.49. Those are starting points. The pane you measure decides the final number.

The reading distance matters as much as the glass. Door hours are read by someone standing at the door. A full pane is read from the sidewalk or the parking row, so the type has to be larger even though the film is larger too.

A two-pane window is two clings, so a pair of 48 x 72 in panes is two orders of that size. The window cling cost guide goes deeper on how the price climbs with area. If your pane falls between two listed sizes, type a custom width and height on the product page and read the configured total before you pay.

Inside mount and outside mount are choices on that same product, and they do not change the price. Inside mount is applied from indoors and is meant to be read from the sidewalk, through the glass. Outside mount sits on the weather side, and the reader looks at the print directly. Say which one you want so the proof faces the people who will read it.

How is a window cling different from an adhesive decal?

A window cling holds by static and comes off, while an adhesive decal holds by adhesive and is the film you choose when the graphic should stay. At 24 x 36 in, one static cling is $74.89 and one piece of 3M adhesive vinyl is $96.29.

Both are produced in 48 hours after artwork approval, with the same flat $10 shipping to any US address. The adhesive film is ordered on the adhesive vinyl page. The longer comparison, including which one lasts, is the window decals versus window clings guide.

Choose the cling when someone on staff will peel it off at the end of the sale or when the hours change. Choose the adhesive vinyl when the graphic is the permanent name on the glass and you do not want it walking. A cling on a wall will not behave like a cling on glass. There is nothing for the static to hold.

How do you measure the glass?

Measure the clear glass inside the frame, width and height, and order a cling that sits fully on that glass with a margin of bare glass all around. Include only the pane you are covering. A door with a small lite is not a 48 x 72 in order just because the door itself is tall. The frame, the gasket, and the handle are not cling surface.

That margin keeps the edge of the film from trying to stick to metal or rubber. If the pane is 26 inches wide, a 24 inch cling has room. If the pane is 22 inches wide, 24 inches is already too wide, and a custom size typed on the product page is the honest order.

Write the numbers down as width by height, the way the page asks, and note which way the pane is turned. A 24 x 36 in cling and a 36 x 24 in cling are the same rectangle only if you flip it on purpose. Hours stacked vertically need the tall orientation. A wide offer over a low window needs the wide one.

How should the type be sized on that cling?

Size the type for the person who will read it, then let the pane decide the film: a 12 x 18 in cling works for hours read at the door, while a parking-row reader needs a bigger pane and much bigger letters. A full-pane cling still fails if the offer is set in type that only makes sense on a phone.

One line of hours, in heavy type, beats a week schedule in a thin script along the bottom. Glare on glass swallows thin strokes. High contrast, a plain background behind the words, and a single next step are what survive. A list of every service, at business-card size, will not.

If both a logo and the hours must appear, the 24 x 36 in cling at $74.89 has room for both without shrinking the hours to nothing. If the hours are the only message, do not buy the largest pane just to fill glass. Empty glass around a clear line is easier to read than a pane packed edge to edge.

What should you check on a window cling proof?

Check three things on the proof: that the art reads correctly from the side of the glass where people stand, that the cling is smaller than the clear glass, and that the job is going on glass at all.

A common mistake to avoid is art that reads correctly on the designer's screen and backwards from the sidewalk. Inside mount is viewed through the glass by the person outside. If the proof only makes sense to someone standing in the room, the file is facing the wrong reader. Approve it when the name and the phone number read from the side that matters.

Another mistake is a cling ordered to the whole storefront width, frame included. The film would be larger than the glass, and the edges would have nowhere to hold. Measure the pane again before you approve a custom size.

The last is treating the cling like a wall decal. Pressed onto a painted panel beside the door, it will not hold, and the hours never get read. Glass only.

How do you order the size you measured?

Order the measured size, name the mount, and read the configured total before you pay. On the window cling page, one 24 x 36 in cling is $74.89, and the listed sizes run from 12 x 18 in at $32.09 to 48 x 72 in at $267.49. The cost guide explains how the price changes with size.

Send a ChatGPT or AI image and we make it print ready for $14.99 per item, or send your file after checkout for the same $14.99. Design it for me is +$29.99 and includes two revisions, and that add-on is free when the item is $499 or more. A free digital proof comes before anything prints. On that proof, check the mount, the hours, and that the film is smaller than the clear glass.

Production is 48 hours after you approve the proof. Flat $10 shipping to any US address is separate from the cling price. Order so the film is in hand before the morning the hours need to be on the door.
