Britswert Wapen (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Decal - Design Description

This striking decal showcases the heraldic emblem, or "wapen," of the Dutch village of Britswert (Britswerd) in Friesland. The design is a vivid representation of the village's history and unique geographical features.

Visual Breakdown

The coat of arms is bisected vertically, presenting two distinct color fields. The left side, or dexter, is a bold red, dominated by a prominent gold anchor in the upper section. The right side, or sinister, is a rich blue, featuring a gold fleur-de-lis at the top. Below, a gold terpmound (dwelling hill), with an arch-shaped opening, rises. A golden clover sits atop the terpmound.

Symbolism and Meaning

Each element of this intricate design contributes to a rich tapestry of symbolism. The gold anchor, set against the red field, pays homage to the village's historical connection to the shipping industry and its Kromwâl shipyard. The gold fleur-de-lis, in the blue field, evokes the beauty of lilies that once graced the Britswerter Mar (lake), reflecting the region's natural heritage. The gold terpmound is a visual reference to the village's origins, as "werd" refers to the dwelling mounds, which are a defining characteristic of Frisian landscapes and historical flood prevention. Finally, the gold clover symbolizes the area's vital cattle breeding and rich, fertile meadows.

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.
