Cento-Stemma (Italy) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This striking decal presents the official coat of arms, or "Stemma," of the Italian comune (municipality) of Cento. The design is a vibrant statement of local identity and historical ties, rendered in bold heraldic colors and symbolic imagery.

Design Elements

The shield itself is "per fess," meaning it's divided horizontally into two distinct sections. The upper half, a vibrant azure blue, showcases a golden, double-merloned band that gracefully cuts across the field. Six radiant eight-pointed gold stars flank the band, arranged three on each side, adding a celestial touch to the design.

The lower half of the shield offers a stark contrast, with a silver/white field. A bold red prawn, standing vertically, dominates this section, a potent symbol of local heritage. Above the prawn, within the upper portion of the lower half (the "chief"), sits a Capo d'Angiò. This features a blue background adorned with a red stylized border (a "rake") bearing three elegant golden fleurs-de-lis.

Completing the composition, the shield is framed by classic civic ornamentation. Branches of oak and laurel, symbols of strength and victory, are elegantly intertwined and tied with a ribbon.

Symbolism and Meaning

The coat of arms encapsulates Cento's rich history and civic pride. The inclusion of the Aldobrandini family’s influence is seen in the blue field, golden band, and stars. The prominent red prawn represents a traditional symbol of the city and its unique local identity.

The Capo d’Angiò, with its distinctive stylized border and fleurs-de-lis, alludes to the city’s historical associations with the Anjou dynasty or influences. The oak and laurel branches symbolize strength, resilience, and the municipality's self-governing character.

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.
