People's Liberation Army Reserve Cap Badge (China) Sticker Design

This sticker showcases the design of the People's Liberation Army Reserve Force (PLARF) cap badge, a powerful emblem rich in symbolism drawn from the People's Republic of China's national identity and the PLA's own history.

Key Design Elements and Their Meanings

At the heart of the design is a prominent red five-pointed star, a long-standing symbol of the PLA. It represents the revolutionary heritage of the Chinese armed forces and the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. It also embodies the concept of 'liberation', which is central to the PLA's mission.

The design prominently features the Chinese characters "八一" (Bā-yī), which translates to "8-1." This refers to August 1st, the date of the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, marking the founding of the PLA. This element connects the Reserve Force directly to the traditions and history of the PLA.

A wreath of wheat and rice, along with other laurel elements, encircles the central components. These classical heraldic motifs signify peace and honor. Within the Chinese context, they also represent the deep connection between the People’s Army, the people themselves, and the vital role of the countryside.

A stylized depiction of the Gate (Tiananmen), a well-known national building, often forms part of the badge design. This integration ties the military symbol to the national emblem and reinforces the connection to state sovereignty. This version is designed for the Reserve force branch.

The overall circular or wreath-surrounded badge format distinguishes this cap badge as belonging to the Reserve Force branch while retaining the core symbolic elements of the PLA.

This design serves as a powerful visual representation of the PLA Reserve Force, embodying the values, history, and national identity of the People's Republic of China.

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.
