Dorotape unveils Glass Apeel

Glass Apeel is a PVC-free media for stunning, easy-to-apply printed window graphics.

Unlike traditional static cling vinyl, which degrades after about 6 months, struggles in cold and humid conditions, and contains highly plasticised PVC—one of the most environmentally harmful plastics—Glass Apeel offers a revolutionary alternative. This innovative solution is not only free from harmful VOCs but also provides complete repositionability and lifetime removability. It can even be stored and reused multiple times, significantly reducing waste and reinforcing our commitment to environmental sustainability.

Glass Apeel window graphic material features an innovative, smooth, non-sticky underside with a unique microporous layer that expands the film’s surface area, creating a grip-like feel. When applied to smooth surfaces such as glass or metal, the film naturally aligns with the surface, keeping it firmly in place. Removal is remarkably simple—just peel from one corner and the alignment breaks instantly, releasing the grip completely and leaving absolutely no residue behind. This revolutionary technology combines professional-grade performance with unmatched convenience.

Available in four different versions:

  • Glass Apeel Transparent is 100% optically clear for use on glass and acrylic and can be front or mirror printed
  • Glass Apeel Frosted has a bright translucency for front or mirror printing, providing privacy while letting light through (Coming soon)
  • Glass Apeel White 99% light block out properties for use on to windows and smooth metal surfaces
  • Glass Apeel Solar is a transparent film with energy conservation properties for use on windows to help maintain an even indoor temperature (Coming soon)

The product is printable using Latex, UV, and Eco-solvent inks, and looks stunning when applied to glass, acrylic, and other smooth, flat surfaces.
