173rd Air Refueling Squadron Holographic Decal

This die-cut vinyl decal features a dynamic design celebrating the 173rd Air Refueling Squadron of the U.S. Air Force. The holographic finish adds a stunning visual effect, catching the light and creating a sense of motion and depth, mirroring the squadron's role in supporting air operations worldwide.

Design Elements

The central element of the design likely showcases a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, the aircraft synonymous with air refueling. The inclusion of this aircraft signifies the squadron's primary mission. The aircraft might be depicted mid-air, refueling another aircraft, symbolizing the critical role of extending the range and endurance of other aircraft.

Additional design elements may include the unit's insignia, perhaps incorporating elements from the squadron's history. The use of colors could reflect the Air Force's traditional palette, with a possible incorporation of the Nebraska Air National Guard's colors.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design as a whole represents the 173rd ARS's mission: enabling global reach and operational flexibility for the U.S. Air Force. The aerial refueling imagery suggests the squadron's role in powering aerial operations around the globe. The vibrant holographic effect reflects the cutting-edge technology and skill employed by the unit's personnel.

The overall aesthetic is a testament to the dedication, skill, and history of the 173rd Air Refueling Squadron, honoring their contribution to the nation's defense.

Holographic vinyl decals with a high-contrast rainbow sheen, printed with eco-friendly inks on premium, weather-rated film. Waterproof, UV-protected, and available in five sizes.

Built to turn heads and hold up outdoors. These holographic decals use premium printable vinyl topped with a UV-protective laminate. The film is rated for multi-year outdoor exposure, so the color stays bold and the surface resists scuffs and sun fade.

  • Signature finish: a 99% opaque rainbow effect that shifts with angle and light—clean edges and a smooth, matte-sheen feel rather than a mirror gloss.
  • Waterproof: designed for rain, splashes, and regular washing on smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Eco-conscious printing: vibrant, high-density color produced with eco-solvent inks for sharp lines and rich gradients.
  • Color guidance: no white underbase is applied; pure white areas won’t print, and very light tones allow the holographic layer to show through. Darker tones deliver the strongest contrast.
  • Easy-peel backing: release liner separates cleanly for quick, bubble-free placement.

Made for smooth surfaces: glass, metal, coated plastics, sealed laptops, bottles, mirrors, lockers, and windows. Suitable for interiors and short-term exterior spots like vehicle windows or signage.

  1. Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
  2. Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
  3. Set: allow 24 hours for the adhesive to reach full bond; avoid heavy moisture during this time.

Tips: Avoid heavily textured or silicone-coated surfaces. For curved items, apply slowly and don’t stretch the film.

  • Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth from the center outward to lift dust and grime.
  • Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or pressure washers that can dull the holographic layer.
  • If placed on bottles or mugs, hand-wash is recommended. Prolonged high-heat cycles can shorten adhesive life.

Available in five sizes. Measurements refer to the longest side of the decal. A “3 inch” option is 3 inches across its largest dimension; the die-cut follows the exact contour for crisp, professional edges.
