PLA kōng jūn shào jiàng Type 55 (China) (Military Rank) Sticker - Design

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the insignia of a PLA Air Force Major General (kōng jūn shào jiàng) from the Type 55 rank system, active in China from 1955 to 1965. The design meticulously replicates the visual elements of this historical military rank.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central element is the insignia itself, a powerful symbol of authority and rank. It depicts a gold-bordered shoulder board, set against the distinctive Air Force blue background. This is a critical visual cue, identifying the rank as belonging to the PLAAF. Emblazoned prominently on the shoulder board is the "八一" (bā yī) emblem, representing the date of the founding of the People's Liberation Army.

Above the emblem is the visual representation of the rank: one large star, signifying the general officer status, is placed above three smaller stars. The arrangement of the stars is a key detail, adhering to the historical design of the Type 55 rank system.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design’s primary function is to represent the rank of an Air Force Major General, the entry-level general officer rank in the PLA Air Force during the specified period. The stars symbolize the rank, the level of command and the authority that comes with it. The "八一" emblem reinforces the decal’s connection to the People’s Liberation Army, and serves as a visual identifier of the subject’s loyalty and commitment. The overall presentation, including the specific color scheme and arrangement, immediately identifies the rank’s historical context and significance.

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.
