PLA Navy Hǎijūn dàwèi Type 55 Sticker Design

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the insignia of a Hǎi jūn dàwèi (海军大尉), or Navy Senior Lieutenant, in the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) under the Type 55 rank system used in China from 1955 to 1965. The design meticulously replicates the shoulder board insignia.

Visual Elements

The central element of the design is a single, prominent gold star. This star is the definitive visual identifier of the Senior Lieutenant rank within the PLAN's Type 55 system. It is positioned on a navy blue background, representing the naval service.

The design clearly communicates the rank. The placement of the star suggests a position of authority within the PLAN hierarchy, denoting an officer above Second Lieutenant / Ensign (少尉) and below a Lieutenant (上尉). The shape and color evoke a sense of military precision and tradition.

Symbolism and Meaning

The gold star, the focal point, symbolizes the officer's position within the commissioned ranks of the PLAN. It signifies leadership, experience, and the responsibilities inherent in a mid-level officer role, such as leading teams and executing operational duties.

The navy blue background subtly hints at the naval environment where Senior Lieutenants typically serve, whether aboard ships, submarines, or in naval aviation. The design as a whole presents the prestige and structure of the PLAN during the mid-20th century. The sticker design serves as a visual representation of rank, service, and commitment to duty within the PLA Navy.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
