Lokeren Wapen 1840 (Belgium) Vinyl Decal: Design Description

This sticker features the official coat of arms (Wapen) of the municipality of Lokeren, Belgium, as it was registered in 1840. The design is a striking display of heraldic artistry, rich with symbolic meaning.

Central Shield Elements

The primary element is a silver (white) shield, upon which a bold black gridiron (resembling a rooster) takes center stage. This gridiron is the traditional symbol of Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of Lokeren, referencing his martyrdom. Above the gridiron, a natural-colored beet/turnip (raep) is depicted, complete with its green leaves. This root vegetable is a historical symbol of the Waasland region, representing Lokeren's regional identity.

Additional Embellishments

The shield is further adorned with a golden crown, adding a touch of prestige. The entire shield is supported by two lions in a naturalistic, life-like pose ("naer het leven").

Meaning and Symbolism

The combination of these elements tells a story of identity and devotion. The gridiron signifies the town's religious affiliation, while the beet/turnip underscores its connection to the Waasland region. The lions and crown provide a sense of grandeur and historical significance to this complex design. The color choices (silver, black, gold, and the natural tones of the beet/turnip) contribute to the overall visual impact of the coat of arms.

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.
