VMGR 452 (USMC) REVERSE PRINT Transparent Die-Cut STICKER - Design Description

This sticker design pays homage to Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452, also known as the "Yankees," a former unit of the United States Marine Corps.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The central design element likely features the squadron's designation, "VMGR 452," prominently displayed. The inclusion of "USMC" signifies the squadron's affiliation with the United States Marine Corps. The design is presented in a reverse print, indicating it's meant to be applied to a transparent surface, allowing the image to be viewed from the opposite side and creating a unique aesthetic.

The design may incorporate imagery related to the squadron's primary missions. This could include a depiction of the Lockheed Martin KC-130 aircraft, the squadron's primary aircraft, often shown in flight refueling another aircraft. Alternatively, the design could feature the squadron's iconic "Yankees" nickname along with imagery like the American flag or other patriotic symbolism, referencing the unit's proud history and combat support roles.

Meaning and Symbolism

The sticker's overall design evokes a sense of military pride and commemorates the service and accomplishments of VMGR-452. The squadron's missions of aerial refueling and transport are symbolic of critical support roles, vital to operational success. The aircraft imagery symbolizes readiness and logistical support. The design represents a commitment to the mission and the values of the Marine Corps.

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.
