USS Ford FFG 54 (U.S. Navy) REVERSE PRINT Transparent Die-Cut STICKER

Design Overview

This sticker features a striking design centered around the USS Ford (FFG-54), an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate of the United States Navy. The artwork adopts a reverse print technique, allowing for application on surfaces where the design will be viewed from the exterior, such as a car window. The die-cut ensures that the sticker’s shape precisely matches the outline of the vessel, eliminating any unnecessary background and enhancing its impact.

Visual Elements and Representation

The primary visual element is a detailed illustration of the USS Ford. The design captures the silhouette and key features of the frigate, including its distinctive hull, weaponry such as the Mk 13 missile launcher and 76 mm OTO Melara gun, and the flight deck for the SH-60B Seahawk helicopter. The design aims to accurately portray the ship’s profile, conveying the essence of its operational role in anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare.

The transparent background around the ship allows the underlying surface to become part of the design, which provides a modern look. The reverse print further enhances the visuals with the sticker's graphic on the side being adhered.

Symbolism and Meaning

The sticker is a symbol of naval pride and pays homage to the dedicated service of the USS Ford and the brave men and women who served aboard her. The accurate depiction of the ship serves as a tribute to its legacy of operations in the Cold War era and beyond. By proudly displaying this sticker, one acknowledges and celebrates the history of this important vessel and the U.S. Navy’s commitment to protecting the nation.

Reverse-print die-cut decals are made to be installed on the **inside** of glass so your artwork faces outward. Built from water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate, they’re designed to stay vivid while being protected from the elements.

Think of these as “inside-protected” window graphics: the printed face is applied to the glass interior, which keeps the design shielded from direct contact and weather. The core material is a robust, water-resistant vinyl topped with a matte laminate that reduces glare and adds scratch resistance.

We use eco-solvent inks for saturated, long-lasting color, and each decal is precision die-cut so the edges sit clean against the glass. Finished in the USA from globally sourced components, these decals balance durability with a professional, understated look.

  • Material: water-resistant vinyl with a matte UV-protective laminate.
  • Method: reverse-print (installed inside glass) so the environment meets glass, not the ink.
  • Durability: engineered for multi-year outdoor performance when properly applied.
  • Made in the USA: assembled locally from globally sourced parts.
  • Design notes: very small elements placed close together may cut into a single shape; low-contrast elements on dark glass can be hard to see from the street.

Where do people put these? Storefront windows, car or van glass (interior mount), glass office partitions, and interior display cases are common spots. Because the print faces outward but is protected from the outside, the graphic holds up better against touch and weather.

  1. Prep: thoroughly clean the glass—use mild soap and water or an alcohol wipe for grease. Let it dry completely.
  2. Position: peel a corner of the liner and align carefully. Lay the decal down slowly, pressing from the center outward to push out air.
  3. Finish: use a soft card or squeegee to smooth edges; allow at least 24 hours for the adhesive to fully bond before heavy exposure to weather.

Heads-up: if your design uses fine text or very thin lines packed close together, consider simplifying those elements—small slivers can merge during cutting. Also, designs placed on dark-tinted glass will read darker and may lose subtle hues.

Care is low-key but worthwhile. Wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more stubborn dirt, use a lightly damp microfiber and blot dry right away.

Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders, and harsh solvents such as straight ammonia or concentrated cleaners—those can dull the laminate or lift edges. Proper, gentle cleaning preserves the matte finish and color saturation over time.

Available in five sizes. We list sizes by the sticker’s longest side—so a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork outline for a tight, professional edge.

If your artwork has intricate islands or very thin gaps, expect slight variation: tiny islands may be merged into a single piece during cutting. When in doubt, test at a slightly larger scale or simplify closely spaced details.
