US 25A Michigan 1926 (Michigan) Road Sign STICKER

This vinyl kiss-cut decal captures the essence of a hypothetical US 25A road sign as it would have appeared in Michigan in 1926. The design is a study in historical accuracy, representing a route that, while never officially designated at the time, embodies the early spirit of the U.S. Numbered Highway System.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic cut-out U.S. Route shield design, a hallmark of the era. The primary color is a crisp, clean white background, providing the perfect canvas for the bold black markings. At the top of the shield, the small "US" lettering is a nod to the designation's national scope. Directly beneath, the large and prominent "25A" in black numerals and a letter indicates this is a route that branches from or shares a route with the main US 25.

Meaning and Symbolism

This decal symbolizes the evolution of the American road network and the early planning of alternate routes. It speaks to a time before complex route designations and the rapid development of automotive travel. The absence of reflectivity is a direct callback to the era. The hypothetical sign is a representation of what could have been, an alternate route reflecting the growing demands of automobile traffic in the burgeoning industrial age.

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.
