WIS 112 (Wisconsin) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

A Journey Through Road Sign History

This sticker showcases the visual history of WIS 112, a Wisconsin state highway, as represented through its road sign designs. It embodies the evolution of highway signage over time, offering a glimpse into Wisconsin's transportation history.

Three Iconic Eras

The sticker highlights three distinct design phases of the WIS 112 road sign:

The Circle Era (1919-1926)

This design reflects the early days of road signage. At its heart is a black circle, holding the number "112." The circle is set upon a white square background. This design is simple, direct, and conveys the essential information - the route number. The occasional addition of "STATE ROAD" or "WIS." lettering provides further context.

The Square Era (1926-1940s)

Moving forward, the design evolves with a square format. The top of the sign proudly displays "WISCONSIN" in bold black lettering, solidifying the location. The route number, "112," is prominently centered below, also in bold black, for clear visibility. This design signifies a shift towards a more structured and official look, indicative of the growing importance of state highways.

The Modern Shield (Post-1948 - Present)

The current design is a modern take on road signage. It's a white square with a thin black border, providing a clean and contemporary appearance. The word "WISCONSIN" is neatly placed at the top, and the route number "112" is boldly centered beneath. This design embodies clarity, simplicity, and ease of recognition, adhering to contemporary road sign standards.

Symbolism

Each design iteration symbolizes the evolution of road infrastructure and the state's growing investment in its transportation network. The shift from a simple circle to the sophisticated modern shield represents a dedication to safety, clear communication, and the enduring nature of state highways.

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.
