Iowa 330 1948 (Iowa) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This decal showcases a faithful representation of the Iowa Highway 330 road sign as it would have appeared shortly after its designation on January 20, 1948. The design pays homage to the historical significance of the road and its creation as a replacement for a portion of U.S. Route 30 in Marshalltown.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The central element of this design is the classic Iowa highway marker. It adheres to the standard design of the era: a black-and-white circular shield. The stark contrast between the black background and white details creates a visually striking image, immediately drawing the eye. At the heart of the design, prominently displayed within the shield, is the route number: "330". The bold, clear font ensures legibility, reflecting the practical function of road signage.

Meaning & Symbolism

The design, while simple, carries symbolic weight. The road sign itself represents a connection to a specific time and place – Iowa in the post-war era. The circular shield is a universally recognized symbol of road navigation, instantly communicating information about the route. This particular design is a reminder of the historical evolution of Iowa's roadways and the transition of traffic flow within the state. It captures the essence of a bygone era of transportation.

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.
