Alphen-Chaam Wapen (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This decal showcases the official coat of arms, or "wapen," of the municipality of Alphen-Chaam, located in the Netherlands. The design is a vibrant representation of the area's history and heritage.

Visual Elements

The core of the design is a shield featuring a striking green background (heraldic "vert"). Upon this field, three silver (heraldic "argent") elements are prominently displayed: two stylized "alpen" (mountains or hills) positioned above and a single "kam" (comb) situated beneath them.

Above the shield, a golden crown embellished with pearls sits proudly. This crown is distinguished by a band of eight pearls and topped with three additional pearls.

Completing the design, two silver birds flank the shield, acting as supporters and holding it up.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms is a carefully constructed visual narrative, born from the merging of the former municipalities of Alphen/Riel and Chaam. The green and silver color palette reflects historical associations with the region.

The individual elements carry specific meaning: the "kam" (comb) is inherited from the older coat of arms of Chaam, while the "alpen" (hills) are adopted from the Alphen portion of the merged municipalities. This combination of elements reflects and unifies the unique identities of the region, creating a shared identity for the newly formed Alphen-Chaam.

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.
