Iowa 195 1926 (Iowa) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This decal features a faithful reproduction of the Iowa Highway 195 route marker as it appeared in 1926. The design is a direct homage to the early 20th-century standardization of road signage in the United States, representing a pivotal shift toward clarity and consistency for drivers.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork is a perfect circle, the defining shape of Iowa’s state highway markers of the era. The design utilizes a contrasting color palette for maximum visibility: a crisp white background provides the base upon which the black details are displayed.

The black details include the prominent “195” designation, the numerical representation of the specific highway route. This number is rendered in a bold, easily legible typeface, essential for quick identification at a glance. Encircling the entire design is a thick black border, further defining the marker and providing a visual frame.

Meaning and Symbolism

The sign’s design represents not only the physical route of Iowa Highway 195, a vital link between Sioux City and Salix during its operational years, but also symbolizes a broader movement towards organized and regulated infrastructure. The circular marker itself is a visual shorthand for efficiency and navigation, providing a readily understood symbol for drivers.

The inclusion of the year, 1926, acknowledges the historical context of the sign, grounding it within a particular era of transportation development and highlighting its status as a piece of vintage Americana.

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.
