MN-56 1920 (Minnesota) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker presents a faithful recreation of the original MN-56 road sign used by Minnesota in 1920, marking the dawn of its numbered highway system. The design is a study in minimalist functionality, reflecting the early days of automotive travel and road navigation.

Visual Elements:

The artwork centers around a bold, black numeral "56" positioned against a pristine white background. The stark contrast between the black numerals and the white field ensures maximum legibility, a crucial aspect of road signage designed for quick interpretation by motorists.

The overall form is either a simple square or rectangle, free from any unnecessary ornamentation. This clean, uncluttered design emphasizes clarity and efficiency, prioritizing the immediate communication of the route number.

Meaning and Symbolism:

The MN-56 sign symbolizes the beginnings of organized road networks and the evolving infrastructure that supported the burgeoning automobile industry. It signifies the development of efficient travel and the ability to traverse the state with ease.

The simplicity of the design itself embodies a sense of early American practicality and the straightforward approach to engineering common at the time. It represents a foundational element of Minnesota's transportation history, a tangible piece of a bygone era.

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.
