OH-5 (Ohio) Road Sign - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal: Design Description

This decal presents the evolution of the Ohio State Route 5 road sign, a visual journey through time for Ohio road enthusiasts. The design showcases the three key stages of the OH-5 sign's history.

1912: The Foundation

The earliest representation features the iconic design from 1912: a classic white rectangle. A prominent black outline of the state of Ohio houses the bold black number "5." This initial design signifies the establishment of the Ohio highway system and its initial identity.

1920s-1950s: The Classic Silhouette

The design continues with the evolution to the mid-1920s to the 1950s. The design highlights the enduring cut-out Ohio outline shield. A black outline representing the state of Ohio, paired with a clean white backdrop, creates a distinctive frame for a bold black "5" centered within. This emblem encapsulates a nostalgic era, representing the familiar look for Ohio highways of that time.

1960s-Present: The Modern Standard

The final design element shows the transition to the modern era, starting in the 1960s. The graphic depicts the square shield: a plain white square enclosed by a solid black border. A large, stark black "5" is precisely centered. This design reflects the contemporary road sign standards used for OH-5 today, a symbol of consistent navigation and readily identifiable routes.

Overall Symbolism

The sticker, through its layered design, visually narrates the history of Ohio's OH-5. It embodies the legacy of Ohio's roadways, highlighting the evolution of its signage. It's a tribute to the road and the path it has taken through history.

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.
