What sizes are available for this Holographic Die-Cut Decals?

What material is this Holographic Die-Cut Decals made from?

Die-cut decals are made from premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance. They're finished with a matte UV laminate that protects against sun exposure, reduces glare, and guards against scratches. Eco-solvent inks provide dense, even color that stays vibrant through outdoor exposure.

Is this Holographic Die-Cut Decals waterproof and suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, die-cut decals are water-resistant and built to withstand sun, rain, and everyday outdoor wear. They're rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, and coated plastics. The matte UV laminate provides additional protection against fading.

How do I apply or install this Holographic Die-Cut Decals?

First, prep the surface by removing dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn residue, use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully. Peel and position the decal, laying it down slowly while pressing from the center outward. Use a card or squeegee to smooth the edges and ensure full contact.

How do I care for and clean this Holographic Die-Cut Decals?

Maintenance is simple. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth with light pressure, then dry immediately afterward. Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents, or power washers as these can scratch the laminate or lift edges.

What surfaces work best for this Holographic Die-Cut Decals?

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces including glass, metal, coated plastics, and finished wood. They work excellently on bottles, windows, laptops, and vehicle windows. To ensure optimal performance in wet conditions, apply to very smooth surfaces where the adhesive can form a full bond. Avoid rough or heavily textured materials.

How long will this Holographic Die-Cut Decals last?

Die-cut decals are rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions when properly applied to suitable surfaces. The water-resistant vinyl with UV laminate is engineered to withstand regular sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Actual longevity depends on exposure levels, surface preparation, and local weather conditions.

86th Maintenance Operations Squadron (U.S. Air Force) Holographic STICKER Die-Cut Vinyl Decal

This design is a circular unit badge built around a green dragon head, a quartered shield, and the squadron's numeral and motto, all rendered in flat vector shapes.

Visual Elements & Composition

Royal blue fills more of the badge than any other colour, forming the field that frames the composition. Gold yellow takes up much of one quadrant of the shield, where five-pointed blue stars sit in a clean row. The dragon, in dragon green, breathes open-mouthed across the upper part of the badge, giving the design its main point of motion. Crimson appears only as a small accent, and white is used for the lettering and edging. A curved scroll arcs across the top and a second scroll anchors the base, and the numeral 86 and the words PER, ARDUA, AD, ASTRA and MOS appear on them. The layout is symmetrical and centred, with each element placed to read clearly at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The motto Per Ardua Ad Astra translates from Latin as "through adversity to the stars," a phrase long associated with the Royal Air Force and adopted by air and aviation units in many countries. Here it sits alongside the squadron designation, so the words speak to hardship overcome and aspiration reached. The dragon is a heraldic and mythical emblem of watchfulness and strength, and the quartered shield follows the traditional logic of military insignia, where each field carries its own meaning. The stars reinforce the aerial theme. Together the elements mark a unit identity and the pride that comes with it.

On the Sticker

A die-cut sticker is cut to the exact outline of its artwork, so the circular badge becomes the object itself with no surrounding border. That suits a design built on a strong silhouette, where the dragon's head and the circular edge define the shape. It can be placed on a laptop lid, a journal cover, or any flat surface where the badge can be seen up close and read in full, with the motto and numeral legible from a short distance.

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.

Prep: clean the area with mild soap and water or 70% isopropyl alcohol; let it dry fully.
Apply: peel, align, and press from the center outward with a card or squeegee to push out air.
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.
