OH-257 1967 (Ohio) (Road Sign) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal presents a faithful reproduction of the Ohio State Route 257 road sign as it appeared in 1967. The design embodies the streamlined, standardized approach to highway signage adopted by Ohio in the mid-20th century, a move driven by a desire for national consistency and clear visual communication.

Design Elements and Meaning

The artwork centers on a starkly simple yet effective visual. A square shape, defined by rounded corners and a bold black border, contains the route number "257." The numerals are rendered in a clear, bold sans-serif font, ensuring instant legibility. The white background provides a high-contrast foundation for the black numerals and border, enhancing visibility even from a distance or in low-light conditions.

The absence of any state outline or "OHIO" label speaks to the era's focus on universal highway markers, which prioritized easy recognition and navigation across state lines. The design, therefore, is a symbol of Ohio's commitment to uniformity and efficiency in its transportation infrastructure. It is representative of an era of modernization in road travel.

This design serves as a snapshot of transportation history, encapsulating the evolution of road signage design and the standardization that defined the late 1960s.

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.
