Illinois 98 1950 (Illinois) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design

This sticker presents a nostalgic homage to Illinois Route 98, specifically evoking the aesthetic of road signage from the 1950s. The design directly references the official state highway marker for Illinois Route 98, instantly recognizable to those familiar with the state's transportation network.

Visual Elements & Interpretation

The artwork centers on the iconic "ILLINOIS" designation, prominently displayed at the top, echoing the state highway system's standard. Beneath this, the number "98" is boldly presented, signifying the route's identity. The use of a font characteristic of mid-century design and a potentially reflective background (as suggested by the source material) adds to the vintage appeal. The design deliberately seeks to capture the look and feel of a bygone era in road signage, connecting the viewer to a specific period in Illinois's history.

The simplicity of the design, with its focus on essential information, is a hallmark of effective signage. It conveys clarity and directness, reflecting the functional purpose of a road marker while simultaneously serving as a symbolic representation of travel, navigation, and the passage of time. The sticker, therefore, is more than just a depiction; it's a visual shorthand for a journey, a place, and a historical moment in Illinois.

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.
