Static cling 101
New to static cling?
Static cling is a durable, flexible material that holds to whiteboards, glass, windows, and acrylic without any adhesive. Here's what teachers ask most:
Not a sticker
No glue or adhesive. It holds to smooth surfaces on its own.
Removable
Peels off in seconds and leaves no residue behind.
Reusable and durable
Designed and printed in-house by our family business on professional equipment with high-quality inks and materials. Made to reuse year after year.
Customizable
Many designs come in your choice of colors and fonts, and I take custom requests.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Will it stick to my whiteboard?
Yes. Static cling holds to whiteboards with no adhesive. For the best hold, make sure your board is clean and dust-free. Dust, dirt, and oil can keep a cling from sticking, and some greasy whiteboard cleaners leave a residue that does the same. If needed, clean your board with a mix of vinegar and water to break down the oil. If a cling loses its grip over time, rinse the back with water and apply it again.
Does it work on non-magnetic boards or glass?
Yes. Reimagines clings were originally designed for non-magnetic whiteboards. My mom didn't have a magnetic whiteboard when I started the business, and her classroom was my inspiration. Clings also hold to glass, windows, and acrylic.
Can I write on it with a dry-erase marker?
Please don't. Markers can remove the printed ink on a cling. Many of our designs are made so you can write underneath or next to them instead.
Will it leave residue on my board?
No. There's no adhesive, so nothing is left behind. Your board is just as clean when you remove the cling as it was when you applied it.
How do I store my clings?
Store your clings on the backing paper they ship on. Many products offer a Binder Ready option: your clings ship on 8.5x14" hole-punched backing sheets, ready to store in a legal-size three-ring binder.
Can I get a custom design or color match?
Yes. I design and print every product myself. Email elizabeth@reimagines.com with custom design requests or color matching.
