PLA kōng jūn zhōng jiàng (Type 55) Decal Design

This vinyl kiss-cut decal vividly recreates the insignia of a kōng jūn zhōng jiàng (空军中将), or Air Force Lieutenant General, within the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) under the Type 55 rank system (1955-1965). The design is a faithful representation of this significant rank, meticulously capturing the details of the original.

Shoulder Board Insignia

The central element of the design is the shoulder board. The gold border is expertly rendered, framing the iconic emblem of the PLAAF. Within the border, the design features a deep Air Force blue background, the backdrop for the rank's stars. Two large stars are prominently displayed above three smaller stars, the specific arrangement denoting the rank of Air Force Lieutenant General.

Symbolism and Meaning

The "八一" (Bā Yī) emblem, meaning "August 1st," symbolizes the founding of the People's Liberation Army. The placement of the stars denotes the rank's hierarchy and authority within the PLAAF. The specific combination of star sizes and arrangement is critical: it represents the rank of Lieutenant General (OF-7) – a very senior command position held by deputy commanders, military region air force commanders, senior staff chiefs, and academy heads.

The decal's design is a testament to the history and structure of the PLA Air Force during a pivotal era. The accurate rendition of the Type 55 insignia serves as a powerful visual representation of military rank and the values of the PLAAF.

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.
