WIS 106 (Wisconsin) Road Sign - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal: Design Description

Historical Evolution in Miniature

This decal presents the visual history of WIS 106 road signs, mirroring the evolution of Wisconsin's state highway markers. The design embodies the state's transportation infrastructure and its evolution over time.

A Trio of Iconography

The artwork incorporates three distinct designs, each representing a significant period in the sign's history. These different representations showcase the changes in design conventions over the years.

1919 Circle Design

This initial version is captured by a black circle on a white square background, with the number 106 inside, reflecting the earliest approach to highway identification and the simplicity of early road signage. The circle symbolizes the interconnectedness of routes and destinations.

1926 Square Design

The second design showcases a white square sign that bears the word "WISCONSIN" at the top in black lettering, along with the route number 106 centered below. It displays the state’s name, anchoring the route’s identity to Wisconsin.

Modern Square (Post-1948) Design

Finally, a modern shield design is featured: a white square with a thin black border, “WISCONSIN” displayed in black lettering, and the number 106 prominently displayed. This illustrates the modern, streamlined approach to highway signage, emphasizing clarity and legibility. The white and black color scheme provides high contrast for easy identification.

Visual Storytelling

These different iterations are a visual journey through time, from early, more basic markers to the streamlined design that continues to serve motorists today, all represented in a single piece of artwork.

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.
