Wapen van Aalbeke (Belgium) (Coat of Arms) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal: Design Description

This decal features the historically significant Coat of Arms of Aalbeke, a district of Kortrijk, Belgium. The design is a vibrant representation of the heraldic achievement granted in 1816.

Visual Breakdown

The primary visual element is a shield, divided into four quarters. The first and fourth quarters display a dynamic scene in a vivid red field. A blue horseman, mounted on a galloping white horse, is depicted wielding a silver sword. The second and third quarters present a silver field with a bold red chevron, a classic heraldic symbol.

At the heart of the shield, an additional smaller silver shield is placed. This center shield is charged with three smaller blue shields, each bearing a prominent golden star. The overall effect is one of intricate detail and historical resonance.

Symbolism and Meaning

The Coat of Arms of Aalbeke is rich in symbolism. The horseman and galloping horse, rendered in strong colors, represent the historical connection to the Van der Gracht family and their influential presence in the region. The chevron, a fundamental element, symbolizes protection and the home, reflecting the community’s roots.

The three smaller shields with stars, incorporated in a precise arrangement, denote the historical association with the Ennetières family, adding another layer of historical context to the emblem. The crown topping the shield, with fleurons and pearls, signifies nobility and honor.

The design, as a whole, encapsulates the historical narrative of Aalbeke, its noble connections, and the values of its people.

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.
