Emblem of Malta (1975-1988) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal features the distinctive emblem of Malta used from 1975 to 1988, a design that marked a significant shift in Maltese national symbolism. Departing from traditional heraldry, this emblem presented a vibrant coastal scene, deeply rooted in Maltese life and republican ideals.

Visual Elements and Symbolism

At the heart of the design is a picturesque scene of a rising sun, a powerful symbol of a new beginning, hope, and progress for the Republic of Malta. Below the sun, a traditional Maltese boat sails on the water, representing Malta's rich maritime heritage and fishing traditions that have shaped the island nation for centuries.

In the foreground, a shovel and pitchfork are prominently displayed, evocative of agriculture and labor. They represent the everyday work and the people of Malta, anchoring the emblem in the realities of Maltese life.

Adding a touch of the unique Maltese landscape, an opuntia, or prickly-pear cactus, is included. This common plant visually connects the emblem to the land, representing the natural environment of Malta.

Finally, the inscription "Repubblika ta' Malta" (Republic of Malta) boldly proclaims the nation's republican status, emphasizing a break from monarchical or colonial ties and embracing its new identity.

This emblem's imagery blends a sense of place, history, and the values of the republic, offering a potent visual statement of Malta's identity during this significant period.

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.
