Flag of Afghanistan WFB 2009 (Afghanistan) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the official flag of Afghanistan as it appeared in the 2009 edition of the CIA World Factbook. The design adheres precisely to the standardized representation of the flag during the Islamic Republic era (2004-2021), a symbol of national unity and sovereignty.

Visual Elements

The flag is a vertical tricolor. The design is dominated by three equally sized vertical stripes: black on the hoist side, red in the center, and green on the fly side. Centered on the red stripe is the national emblem, rendered in white.

Symbolism

The color scheme is rich with symbolism. Black represents the past, a remembrance of history and the periods of oppression endured by the Afghan people. The red stripe signifies the blood shed by martyrs in the fight for independence. Green stands for hope, prosperity, and the nation's Islamic faith.

The white emblem is a detailed representation of the Afghan coat of arms. It features a mosque with a mihrab and minbar, reflecting the country's Islamic heritage. Above the mosque, the Takbir ("Allahu Akbar") and the Shahada (Islamic creed) are inscribed. Two Afghan flags flank the central design. An oval border composed of wheat sheaves surrounds the emblem, and the year 1298 (1919) — the year of Afghanistan's independence according to the Islamic solar calendar — is incorporated. Finally, the word "Afghanistan" is written in Arabic script beneath the emblem.

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.
