This vinyl sticker showcases the classic design of the I-81 VA Metric road sign, a representation of Interstate 81 within the state of Virginia. The artwork faithfully replicates the official signage, adhering to the specifications of the 2004 edition of the Standard Highway Signs, with a design rooted in the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System.

Visual Elements

The sticker features the distinctive shield shape, a hallmark of the Interstate system. The design is divided horizontally, with a vibrant red top section and a bold blue body. The top section prominently displays "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, while the bottom blue section features "VIRGINIA," also in white, signifying the location of the route.

At the center of the design, the route number "81" stands out in large, white numerals. The typography is rendered in the Roadgeek 2005 font, ensuring visual accuracy and mirroring the specific style used on the original road signs. The color palette adheres to the official Pantone colors, specifically Pantone Red 187 and Blue 294, providing a faithful representation of the original sign's aesthetic.

Meaning and Symbolism

The I-81 VA Metric design represents a vital transportation artery. It is a symbol of interstate travel and connectivity. The shield shape, in its classic form, is universally understood to represent a route within the US Interstate Highway System. The presence of "INTERSTATE" and "VIRGINIA," along with the route number "81," conveys specific geographical and infrastructural information.

This sticker encapsulates the spirit of the open road, encapsulating the history of travel in the United States, providing a snapshot of the evolution of transportation design and its associated visual language.

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.
