Flag of Afghanistan 2013-2021 (Afghanistan) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This sticker features the final national flag of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, flown from 2013 until the Taliban's takeover in 2021. The design is a powerful statement of Afghan identity, representing the nation's struggle for independence and its aspirations for the future.

Design Overview

The flag is a striking vertical tricolor. Three equally sized bands of color form the backdrop: black at the hoist, followed by red in the center, and green at the fly.

Emblem and Symbolism

The heart of the flag's design lies in the intricate national emblem, rendered in white and centered across all three color bands. This emblem is a visual narrative of Afghanistan's values and history:

  • Top: The Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith ("There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger").
  • Below: The Takbir, an affirmation of God's greatness ("Allāhu akbar").
  • Center: A mosque, complete with a mihrab and minbar, facing Mecca, symbolizing Islam. Behind it, the rays of a rising sun illuminate the landscape.
  • Flanking: Two Afghan flags, representing national identity and pride.
  • Encircling: Sheaves of wheat, tied with a ribbon bearing the name "Afghanistan" (افغانستان), symbolizing agricultural prosperity.
  • Beneath: The solar year 1298 (equivalent to 1919 CE), signifying Afghanistan's hard-won independence from Britain.

The colors themselves carry significant meaning:

  • Black: Represents the dark and challenging chapters of the past.
  • Red: Symbolizes the blood shed and the struggles undertaken for independence.
  • Green: Represents hope, prosperity, and the nation's Islamic faith.
  • White Emblem: Represents faith, unity, and national sovereignty.

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.
