SD 18 1926 (South Dakota) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker features a faithful reproduction of the original SD 18 road sign design used in South Dakota from 1926 until its redesign in the mid-1930s. The artwork directly reflects the signage seen along the original South Dakota Highway 18.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central element is a bold black outline of the state of South Dakota. This clearly identifies the geographical origin and context of the road.

At the top of the design, the words "SOUTH DAKOTA" are prominently displayed, further emphasizing the location and state authority behind the highway. This is consistent with the state's signage standards during the era.

The number "18" is centered within the state outline, representing South Dakota Highway 18. This number is not just an identifier but a historical marker, symbolizing a specific route that once connected communities across the southern part of the state.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design evokes a sense of nostalgia, recalling a period of early automotive travel and the development of the U.S. Highway System. The simple, clean design reflects the utilitarian nature of road signage, intended to provide clear information to travelers.

The stylized state outline is a powerful symbol of place and belonging, connecting the highway to the land and the people of South Dakota. The prominent number acts as a marker of the route itself.

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.
