WIS 99 (Wisconsin) Road Sign - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This decal presents a visual history of WIS 99, a former state highway in Wisconsin. The design showcases the evolution of its road signage through three distinct eras, offering a glimpse into Wisconsin's transportation past.

Artwork Details

The sticker utilizes three key design elements representing the progression of WIS 99 signage. The first is the original 1919-1926 design: a white square featuring a central black circle containing the number "99." This represents the early days of state highway designation.

The second design element, from the 1926-1940s, is a white square with the word "WISCONSIN" spelled out across the top, and "99" centered below in a black, block font. This style reflects a shift towards clearer, more standardized signage.

The final element is the modern, post-1948 style: a square black-on-white shield. The word "WISCONSIN" appears at the top, and "99" is below. This represents the final design used before WIS 99 was decommissioned, mirroring the standard used across Wisconsin's state routes at the time.

Symbolism and Meaning

The progression of designs symbolizes the evolution of highway infrastructure and design standards over the 20th century. The shift from the simple circle to the more elaborate "WISCONSIN" style reflects a growing emphasis on state identity and standardized road markings. The final design reflects the streamlining and standardization of route markers.

The inclusion of all three styles provides a visual narrative of a road's history. It is a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era of Wisconsin roadways, preserving a piece of local transportation history.

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.
