Hoogezand-Sappemeer Coat of Arms Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This striking vinyl decal showcases the official coat of arms (wapen) of Hoogezand-Sappemeer, a municipality in the Netherlands, a symbol rich in history and meaning. The design is a visual representation of the area’s industrial past, agricultural roots, and reliance on waterways.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The shield itself is distinctively shaped, divided in a swallow-tail (chevron) pattern. The upper portion, rendered in a bold red (gules) field, features a central golden gear wheel, flanked by a riveting hammer on one side and a carpenter’s hammer on the other. This arrangement symbolizes the industrial heritage of Hoogezand, with the gear wheel representing engineering and industry, and the hammers signifying the historical shipbuilding and woodworking trades.

The lower portion of the shield is a vibrant green (sinople), displaying a silver (white) plough, a clear nod to the region's agricultural past, specifically the cultivation of peat and reclaimed land. At the base of the shield, a wavy design composed of four alternating silver and blue pieces is present. This suggests the importance of water, reflecting the presence of canals and waterways central to the area's development.

Additional Embellishments

Crowning the shield is a golden crown, traditionally signifying municipal authority. This coat of arms, officially granted in 1951, blends elements from the former municipalities of Hoogezand and Sappemeer, representing a unified identity and a blend of its combined history. The design was crafted by Nico Bulder.

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.
