VP-46 Patron Forty Six (U.S. Navy) Decal Design

This die-cut vinyl decal proudly displays the emblem of VP-46, the U.S. Navy's Patrol Squadron Forty Six, affectionately known as the "Patrons" or "Patron Forty Six." The design is a bold statement of squadron identity and heritage.

Visual Elements & Representation

The primary visual element is the squadron's insignia, likely featuring a central image representative of the squadron's role. This might include elements like a stylized aircraft (likely a P-8A Poseidon, the current aircraft, or a P-3 Orion, their predecessor), a submarine, or other symbols of maritime patrol and warfare. The inclusion of these elements instantly conveys the squadron's focus on anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and intelligence gathering.

The vibrant color palette used in the emblem may incorporate the squadron's colors. The inclusion of the nickname "Patrons" and/or "Patron Forty Six" in prominent lettering further reinforces the unit's identity. The text is likely rendered in a strong, legible font, ensuring the squadron's name and designation are easily discernible.

Meaning and Symbolism

The overall design reflects the squadron's tradition and the dedication of its members. The use of imagery associated with maritime patrol and warfare conveys a sense of strength, readiness, and vigilance. The logo stands as a symbol of the squadron's commitment to protecting sea lanes and supporting naval operations.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
