Coat of Arms of Achtkarspelen Decal: A Visual Tapestry of Heritage

This decal features the historically significant coat of arms of Achtkarspelen, a municipality in Friesland, Netherlands. The artwork is a vibrant representation of the municipality's identity, steeped in heraldic tradition.

A Shield of Symbolic Meaning

The core of the design is a shield with a pristine white background. At its heart lies a striking red or colored depiction of a parish church, its presence emphasized by eight prominent towers or spires. These eight towers visually embody the eight original parishes ("kerspels") that form the municipality's very name, representing the historical foundation of Achtkarspelen: Augustinusga, Buitenpost, Drogeham, Kooten (now Kootstertille), Kortwoude (now part of Surhuizum), Lutjepost (now part of Buitenpost), Surhuizum, and Twijzel.

The church stands proudly on a green base, which provides a grounding element that symbolizes the rich landscape and countryside of the region, the very land upon which the historical parishes were built.

A Crown of Municipal Distinction

Surmounting the shield is a regal golden “regent’s crown”, a heraldic marker of municipal authority. This crown, adorned with a border of pearls, signifies the official status of the coat of arms as a symbol of Achtkarspelen.

This design is more than just a visual; it is a tangible piece of history, a heraldic emblem that speaks volumes about the origins and identity of Achtkarspelen.

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.
