Opmeer Coat of Arms Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the official coat of arms (wapen) of the Dutch municipality of Opmeer. The design is a vibrant representation of the town's history and its constituent parts, visually telling a story of heritage and community.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The coat of arms is meticulously quartered, presenting four distinct fields, each loaded with symbolism:

  • First Quarter: A silver (argent) field displays a bold red (gules) lion, a symbol of strength and courage, reflecting the broader West Frisian region's heraldic traditions.
  • Second Quarter: Set against a blue (azure) background is a golden (or) sheaf of wheat (korenschoof). This represents Aartswoud, referencing elements of its local heritage.
  • Third Quarter: A silver (argent) uprooted linden tree (lindeboom) stands out on a blue (azure) field. This is a nod to the municipalities of Opmeer and Hoogwoud, which form part of the modern Opmeer.
  • Fourth Quarter: A gold (or) background supports a red (gules) lion, but with its head cut off (a decapitated lion). This provides a further link to traditional regional heraldry.

The shield is topped with a golden municipal crown, a common feature in Dutch heraldry. Furthermore, the design is augmented with supporters: a silver eagle (right/heraldic dexter) and a golden lion (left/heraldic sinister), further emphasizing the municipality's official status and providing balance to the design.

This coat of arms design is a concise summary of the community's history, bringing together multiple symbolic fields to represent the merging of the historical parts of Opmeer into one cohesive identity.

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.
