Dominicus Custos - Portret van Albrecht V, hertog van Beieren - Kiss-Cut Sticker Design

This design features the masterful 17th-century engraving by Dominicus Custos, depicting the regal profile of Albrecht V, Duke of Bavaria, in ornate, formal courtly attire.

Line Work & Portraiture

The composition relies on the precise, rhythmic hatching characteristic of early 1600s copperplate engraving. The Duke is captured in a strict profile view, emphasizing the sharp contours of his facial features and the elaborate, layered ruff collar that frames his neck. The shading is achieved through dense, cross-hatched lines that define the texture of his velvet-trimmed robes and the stiff, structural volume of his cap. Every stroke of Custos’s burin is deliberate, lending the image a tactile, architectural quality that stands out against the background.

Historical Provenance

Albrecht V, known as "the Magnanimous," was a central figure in the Bavarian Counter-Reformation and a prolific patron of the arts. This portrait captures the gravity of the House of Wittelsbach during the transition into the 17th century. The inclusion of his likeness serves as a window into the aesthetic of European sovereign iconography, where the sitter’s status is communicated through the rigidity of their pose and the opulent complexity of their garments.

On the Sticker

As a kiss-cut decal, this portrait is freed from the constraints of a traditional rectangular frame, allowing the intricate silhouette of the Duke’s profile and his expansive collar to become the sticker's own edge. The crisp, monochromatic detail of the engraving translates into a sharp, graphic accent that retains the focused intensity of the original print when applied to flat, indoor surfaces like journals or laptop lids.

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.
