WIS 155 (1919) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal recreates the original 1919 Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 155 road marker. The design embodies the earliest era of Wisconsin's state-maintained road system.

Visual Elements and Interpretation

The design is a square, a standard shape for early road signage. The color scheme is stark: a black legend against a white background. This high-contrast pairing ensures optimal visibility, a crucial factor for roadside identification. The white, representing clarity and purity, serves as a backdrop to the essential information.

The layout is simple and direct. At the top, the abbreviation "WIS" declares the origin of the highway within Wisconsin. Centered below, the large, bold numeral "155" unequivocally identifies the specific road. This clear presentation prioritizes function, delivering vital information quickly and effectively to travelers of the time.

Symbolism

The WIS 155 (1919) marker is a symbol of early 20th-century progress and infrastructure development. The design conveys the establishment of a state-managed highway network, a commitment to improving transportation and connecting communities. It represents a piece of Wisconsin's history, a tangible artifact of a time when the state was forging its modern identity.

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.
