HudsonsBayCoatOfArms (Canada) Sticker: A Heraldic Display

This sticker presents the distinguished Coat of Arms of the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), a powerful visual testament to the storied history of this Canadian icon.

The Shield

The central element, the shield or escutcheon, commands immediate attention. A deep Azure (blue) field forms the backdrop, upon which three radiant gold crowns are prominently displayed in the upper portion, or "chief." Beneath, a gold chief, a horizontal band across the top, elegantly displays the company's motto, "Pro Pelle Cutem," inscribed in a stark black font. The shield encapsulates the company's core identity and its enduring connection to the monarchy.

The Crest

Above the shield, the crest features a beaver, the national symbol of Canada and a significant emblem of the fur trade. This beaver is depicted "sejant" - seated upright, with its natural "proper" coloring. It is crowned with a gold crown, mirroring those on the shield. The beaver holds a small shield bearing the HBC emblem, reinforcing the company's identity and its strong ties to the fur trade that established its wealth and prestige.

Symbolism in Color and Form

The design leverages classic heraldic colors to communicate its meaning. The blue background represents loyalty and generosity, while the gold conveys prestige and a sense of enduring value. The three gold crowns immediately reference the Royal Charter, granted by King Charles II, solidifying the company's historical beginnings. The motto, "Pro Pelle Cutem", which translates from Latin to "A skin for a skin," encapsulates the essence of the fur trade, highlighting the exchange that fueled the company’s success.

A Legacy in Imagery

This decal offers a striking visual reminder of the Hudson's Bay Company's rich history, its vital role in the fur trade, and its ongoing influence in Canadian commerce. The coat of arms stands as a powerful emblem of tradition, and it signifies the deep connections between Canada and the history of this established company.

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.
