Benjamin Franklin SSBN 640 Vinyl Decal - Design Overview

This die-cut vinyl decal features a powerful visual representation of the USS Benjamin Franklin (SSBN-640), a pivotal submarine in the U.S. Navy's strategic nuclear deterrent. The design elegantly captures the essence of this Cold War-era vessel.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element of the design is a detailed silhouette of the Benjamin Franklin submarine. The precision of the outline emphasizes the ship's powerful and enduring form, evoking a sense of strength and unwavering readiness. The dark outline signifies the vessel's stealth and the secrecy of its mission, hidden beneath the waves.

The design may incorporate elements referencing the ship's armament. The integration of missile imagery will immediately signal the submarine's central role in nuclear deterrence, representing the ship's contribution to maintaining global peace through its capacity for mutually assured destruction.

The use of colors is often very limited. High-contrast colors, such as a black silhouette against a white or other light-colored background, are commonly employed. This bold simplicity ensures the design is easily recognizable and stands out.

Inclusion of the designation "SSBN-640" is crucial, clearly identifying the specific vessel. This allows for instant recognition and allows the design to also serve as a tribute to the memory of the ship.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
