Iowa 113 1926 Road Sign - Decal Design

This decal features a faithful visual representation of the original Iowa 113 road sign from 1926. The design is a direct homage to Iowa’s early state highway system, specifically the era before the widespread adoption of U.S. Highways.

Design Elements

The core of the design is the bold, easily readable number "113". This numerical designation is the most critical element, clearly indicating the route for drivers navigating Iowa's nascent highway network. The number is set against a clean, uncluttered white background, providing maximum contrast and visibility.

A likely design would have the word "IOWA" prominently displayed. This reinforces the sign’s origin and signifies the state's authority over the highway. The font style used in this sign evokes the era of its creation, with its straightforward, functional design reflecting the practical priorities of early road signage. The shape, either a rectangle or a diamond, helps categorize the route.

Meaning and Symbolism

The Iowa 113 design symbolizes a significant period in transportation history. It represents the early efforts to standardize road navigation, improve connectivity, and facilitate travel across the state. This decal is more than just a visual; it is a piece of history preserved in artwork.

The sign's simplicity and directness reflects the values of an earlier time. The sign embodies the spirit of exploration and progress. It speaks to a time when driving across the state held more adventure. This design is a visual reminder of how far highway transportation has evolved.

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.
