Kriminalvården Vapen Decal: A Symbol of Justice

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the official coat of arms (vapen) of the Kriminalvården, the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. The design is a striking representation of the organization's core mission and its relationship with the Swedish state.

Key Elements and Their Significance

The central element of the design is a blue (azure) shield. Dominating the shield are two crossed key shafts, a gold key and a silver key. This arrangement symbolizes the duality inherent in the organization's work – the balance between security and care, and the different aspects of the service. The upside-down (nedåtvänt) silver key adds a unique visual element.

Above the shield rests a royal crown. This signifies that the Kriminalvården is a national governmental body, authorized and overseen by the Crown/State authority.

Colors and Symbols

The color palette adds further layers of meaning. The blue background, prevalent in heraldry, traditionally represents loyalty, truth, and justice. The keys themselves, the gold and silver, add to the symbolic balance.

A Modern Emblem

The design reflects a modern update of the original heraldic emblem, featuring vivid color tones and a more spacious layout. The keys and crown have a refreshed appearance, emphasizing the authority and guardianship that the keys represent. This decal captures the essence of the Kriminalvården's commitment to custody and rehabilitation under the aegis of the Swedish government.

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.
