Bijgaerden Codex 148: A Heraldic Fusion Sticker Design

This striking sticker design draws inspiration from two distinct yet related elements: the artistic style of the Bijgaerden Codex 148, a renowned medieval illuminated manuscript, and the powerful symbolism of the Netherlands Coat of Arms.

The Codex Aesthetic

The design emulates the visual characteristics of the Bijgaerden Codex, known for its intricate detailing and rich color palettes. The artwork strives to capture the essence of a hand-painted illuminated manuscript, with careful attention paid to the flowing lines and ornate embellishments typical of the era. The color choices are inspired by the pigments used in medieval artwork, adding to its authentic feel.

Heraldic Representation

The core of the design incorporates elements that evoke the Netherlands Coat of Arms. Specifically, the iconic gold lions on a blue field are adapted and stylistically integrated within the framework of the codex's aesthetic. These heraldic symbols, though subtly reinterpreted in the style of the manuscript, immediately identify with the nation's heritage.

Symbolism and Meaning

This sticker design aims to bridge historical periods and artistic styles. The fusion of the Bijgaerden Codex's aesthetic with the Netherlands Coat of Arms creates a unique blend of heritage and national identity. The intertwining of the manuscript's artistic style with the heraldic elements symbolizes the intersection of history, culture, and national pride. The lions represent strength, courage, and sovereignty, while the overall aesthetic is a tribute to the craftsmanship and artistic innovation of the past.

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.
