DEATH IN SMALL DOSES 1957 Movie Poster - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A Mid-Century Crime Drama in Graphic Form

This decal features the iconic visual language of the 1957 film Death in Small Doses, a mid-century crime drama. The artwork, in true exploitation style, utilizes bold, eye-catching elements to immediately draw the viewer in.

Dramatic Composition and Thematic Underpinnings

The design, characteristic of posters from the era, is likely to feature a combination of strong title lettering and symbolic imagery. The overall composition is designed to be visually arresting. The subject matter is about the dangers of illegal amphetamine use by long-haul truck drivers.

Symbolism of Danger and Deception

The most recognizable visual elements, such as pills and images of roadside danger, likely form the graphic core of the poster's message. A large, graphic hand may be holding pills, creating a strong visual metaphor for the film’s central theme of drug use and its consequences. This symbolic hand represents the manipulative influence of drugs.

The use of contrasting colors and dynamic compositions further amplifies the sense of danger and illicit activity central to the story, conveying the core themes of risk and deception.

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.
