Achlum Wapen (Netherlands) Kiss-Cut Decal Design

This captivating design presents the heraldic emblem of Achlum, a village in Friesland, Netherlands. The artwork encapsulates the symbolic richness of the "wapen," or coat of arms, offering a visual journey through the village's history and character.

Visual Elements

The central element is a shield, its backdrop a verdant green field, mirroring the village's surrounding landscape. A bold gold (yellow) diagonal band sweeps across the shield, from upper right to lower left. This band provides a stage for the main symbols.

A red shepherd's crook (kromstĂŞf) rests upon the gold band, paying homage to the village's past association with a monastery and its patron saint. Above and below the band, two red Achlum-style roof tiles are artfully displayed, recalling the local tileworks and the specific type of tile produced in Achlum.

Above the gold band, a gold bell takes its place, representing the historically significant "Marijeklokje" church bell. Completing the composition, a gold wagon wheel, featuring eight spokes, rests below the band. This element symbolizes the agrarian roots and the Offehuyzen family's legacy within the community.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design tells a story through its elements. The green field represents the village’s natural environment. The gold diagonal band links the community to the Slachtedyk and the regional heritage. The shepherd's crook represents the village's religious history. The red roof tiles speak of local industry. The bell memorializes the village's church bell, while the wagon wheel highlights the agrarian setting and the Offehuyzen family's significance.

This design is a colorful and meaningful representation of the Achlum identity.

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.
