104 Engineer Battalion Obsolete Insignia (U.S. Army) STICKER Vinyl Die-Cut Decal

This design reproduces the obsolete Distinctive Unit Insignia of the 104th Engineer Battalion, a formal heraldic crest built from World War I and World War II symbolism.

Visual Elements & Composition

A shield sits at the centre of the composition, framed by a blue and grey border. A scroll banner crosses the lower part of the crest and carries the Latin word FACIENDUM followed by EST. A vertical tricolour gives the layout its structure. Crimson takes up the largest share of the colour field, with silver grey and white providing contrast and navy and forest green adding depth. The flat vector rendering keeps every edge crisp, so the crest reads clearly at a glance. At its heart, a green tree with white heart-shaped leaves stands on a brown-trunked mound, rendered in clean, simple shapes.

Meaning & Symbolism

The fruited oak, bearing acorns, represents the provinces of France where the 104th Engineer Battalion served during its historical service periods. The blue and grey border honours the unit's roots in the 29th Division, known as the "Blue and Grey," during World War I. The emblem's traditional heraldic tones and banner motto reflect the formal, commemorative character of military insignia from the First and Second World Wars. This reproduction follows the original design of the 104th Engineer Battalion's U.S. Army National Guard insignia.

Built to the Shape of the Crest

Because this sticker is die-cut, its outline is the crest itself. The shield's curve, the banner's ends and the tricolour's edges become the sticker's silhouette, so the emblem reads as a single object rather than a square of artwork. That silhouette suits collectors who display insignia on laptops, notebooks and journals, where the crest's outline shows against the surface. Its compact form also rewards close inspection, letting the oak, the banner lettering and the layered border be read up close.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
