Kruishoutem Wapen (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal Design

This striking design presents the intricate coat of arms of the former municipality of Kruishoutem, Belgium. It’s a captivating piece of heraldic art, meticulously composed of four distinct quarters and an overall escutcheon, all crowned and supported.

Design Elements

The central shield is divided into four sections, each representing a prominent noble lineage connected to Kruishoutem’s history. The first quarter features a gold background (Or) with a fierce black lion (sable), its claws and tongue rendered in red (gules), a symbol of Flanders.

The second quarter showcases a gold field (Or) bearing a red cross, intricately adorned with sixteen blue eagles (azure) positioned in the corners, derived from Montmorency. The third quarter presents an ermine field (white with black spots), bisected by a red cross and embellished with five gold roses, signifying the Saint Aldegonde de Noircarme family.

The fourth quarter features a red background (gules) patterned with ten silver (argent) lozenges or rhombs, arranged in a visually pleasing 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 formation, reflecting the Lalaing family.

Overlaid upon these four quarters is a small red shield, or escutcheon, bearing a horizontal gold band (fess or). This escutcheon represents the Jauche family, who were lords of Kruishoutem in the early 1600s.

Additional Embellishments

The shield is further adorned with a crown, embellished with nine pearls, symbolizing nobility and authority. Two “wild men,” rendered in natural colors and each wielding a club, support the shield, a common heraldic motif.

Symbolism and Meaning

The complex design is rich in symbolism. Each element – from the lion and eagles to the roses and lozenges – tells a story of the noble families and historical ties that shaped the region. The colors and arrangements are carefully chosen to reflect the lineage and power of the families associated with Kruishoutem. This design is a visual testament to the history and heritage of this Belgian municipality.

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.
