Merchant Flag of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) - Design Description

Overall Design

This vinyl decal presents the merchant flag of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a historical symbol representing the civil ensign used by merchant ships during World War II. The design is immediately recognizable as a horizontal tricolour, a common structure in flag design, especially within Slavic countries.

Color Scheme and Elements

The flag is composed of three horizontal stripes of equal width. The order of colors from top to bottom is: red, white, and blue. This tricolour forms the base of the design, which is immediately identifiable with the Croatian national identity. In the upper hoist (the corner nearest the flagpole) is the Croatian coat of arms, the šahovnica, which is a checkerboard pattern comprised of 25 red and white fields, starting with a white field. Above the coat of arms there is a stylized letter 'U', the emblem of the Ustaša regime.

Symbolism

The tricolour represents Croatian national identity. The red, white, and blue colors themselves are common symbols among Slavic nations, and have been adopted by Croatia. The Croatian coat of arms is a historical symbol of the Croatian people and their heritage, while the Ustaša 'U' represents the political regime that governed the NDH. It is important to remember that this design, while based on historical elements of Croatian identity, is heavily associated with a controversial and extremist regime.

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.
