Flag of the Republic of Croatia 1990 - Design Overview

This sticker showcases the official flag of the Republic of Croatia, adopted in 1990. The design is immediately recognizable for its bold and vibrant use of color and its central emblem, reflecting Croatia's history and national identity.

The Tricolour

The flag's foundation is a horizontal tricolour, featuring three equally sized stripes. At the top, a vibrant red stripe represents strength and courage. The middle stripe is pure white, symbolizing peace and honesty. The bottom stripe is a deep blue, representing loyalty and the sea that borders the Croatian coastline. This arrangement of red, white, and blue adheres to the Pan-Slavic color scheme.

The Coat of Arms

Dominating the center of the flag is the Croatian coat of arms. The focal point is a striking red-and-white checkerboard shield, known as the "šahovnica." This checkerboard pattern, with 25 squares arranged in a 5x5 grid and the top-left square in red, is a historic emblem of Croatia, dating back to the Middle Ages. Above the shield, a crown is composed of five smaller shields. These shields each represent a historical region: Croatia, Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, Istria, and Slavonia, symbolizing the unity of these distinct parts of the nation.

Symbolism of the Design

The flag's overall design is rich with symbolism. The red, white, and blue tricolour signifies Croatia's connection to the Pan-Slavic movement and its embrace of national identity. The checkerboard coat of arms is a direct link to the nation's historical roots, while the crown, with its regional shields, emphasizes the collective identity of Croatia and its diverse heritage. The flag, as a whole, represents the transition to democracy and the declaration of independence in 1990.

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.
