BohusDalgruppen vapen (Sweden) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This vinyl decal showcases the official coat of arms, or "vapen," of Bohus‑Dalgruppen, a Swedish military formation. The design is rich in historical and symbolic elements, reflecting the unit's heritage and purpose.

Central Design Elements

At the heart of the design is a silver (argent) shield, prominently displaying the traditional provincial badge of Bohuslän: a red embattled castle and tower (a crenellated fortress). This represents the historical connection to the Bohuslän region, the fortress being the region's namesake.

The castle is further detailed with two golden portcullises (gates with locks) featuring black hinges and locks. Flanking the castle are a blue sword (azure) standing upright on the right (heraldic dexter) and a blue rampant lion, with golden tongue, teeth, and claws (armed and langued or), on the left (heraldic sinister). These components add martial symbolism, conveying themes of defense, bravery, and courage.

Additional Symbols

Beneath the shield, two crossed muskets (gold) are positioned in saltire (diagonally crossed). This signifies the military and Home Guard nature of Bohus‑Dalgruppen, marking it as a unit-specific emblem rather than a purely regional one.

Crowning the shield is a royal crown, which represents allegiance to the Crown and the Swedish state. This element emphasizes the unit's connection to the nation and its governing authority.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design as a whole presents a cohesive narrative. The fortress castle, a symbol of the Bohuslän region, is combined with military symbols such as the sword, lion, crossed muskets and the crown. This composition signifies the group's connection to the region of Bohuslän, its martial duty to the Swedish crown, and its role as a military unit.

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.
