46th Test Group (U.S. Air Force) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal

A navy and gold heraldic crest built around a shield, with the unit's name set across a ribbon scroll banner beneath it.

Visual Elements & Composition

Navy blue dominates the design, filling more than half of the artwork and forming the field of the shield. Gold yellow takes most of the remaining area, cut into a scalloped diagonal bend that crosses the shield and sets the crest's rhythm. White appears in small accents, and it is the lightest tone in the piece. The composition is flat and vector-clean, with a single centred shield and a ribbon scroll banner anchoring the lower edge. The lettering reads 46TH, TEST and GROUP, stacked so the unit designation is the first thing the eye takes in.

Meaning & Symbolism

Military unit crests like this one condense a unit's identity into a shield, a color scheme and a motto-bearing banner, and this design follows that convention. It commemorates the 46th Test Group of the United States Air Force, a subordinate unit of the 46th Test Wing that was based as a tenant unit at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. The group's work centred on aerospace research and technical evaluation: testing navigation and guidance systems, evaluating radar and weapon systems, and serving as the primary USAF liaison to the White Sands Missile Range. Its lineage traces back to the 6585th Test Group in 1970, and the 46th Test Group was active in its primary capacity from 1992 to 2012. The crest is a tribute to that service and to the technical work carried out through those years.

Built for the Die-Cut Edge

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own artwork, so the shield's silhouette becomes the sticker's silhouette and nothing is left around it. The holographic finish turns the navy and gold as the sticker is tilted, giving the crest a shifting surface that a flat print cannot match. Hold it in the hand and the shape reads as a single object, the same way the unit's crest was meant to be read at a glance.

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.
