14 PLA Navy Hǎijūn dàxiào Type 55 (China) (Military Rank) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This vinyl kiss-cut decal showcases the insignia of a PLAN (People's Liberation Army Navy) Hǎi jūn dàxiào, or Senior Colonel/Navy Captain, under the Type 55 rank system active from 1955-1965. The design is a direct representation of this significant rank within the historical context of the Chinese Navy.

Visual Elements and Representation

The central visual element of the design is the shoulder board insignia. It features a navy-blue background, the color signifying the naval service. Dominating the field are three gold stars. These gold stars are arranged in a specific pattern, visually communicating the rank of Dàxiào. The stars represent the level of authority and experience held by the officer. The number "14" references a cataloging or indexing system and is not part of the insignia itself.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design serves as a symbolic marker of status and achievement within the PLAN's historical structure. The three stars, when displayed, indicate the officer's position as a Senior Colonel, a rank denoting significant experience and responsibility. A Senior Colonel would typically hold a command position, such as command of a large naval vessel, naval air wing, or important staff position at a fleet headquarters. This sticker is a clear representation of naval leadership and the values of duty, honor, and service within the PLA Navy.

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.
