I-81E PA 1957 (Pennsylvania) Sticker Design

This striking sticker showcases the iconic I-81E Pennsylvania road sign design, a piece of American transportation history frozen in time. The artwork meticulously recreates the look of the original 1957 signage, a relic of the early days of the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System.

Visual Elements

The design is centered around the classic shield shape, immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with American road signs. A bold red top section is emblazoned with the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp, white capital letters. Below, the main body of the shield is rendered in a deep blue, providing a contrasting background for the state name and route designation.

Emblazoned across the blue field is "PENNSYLVANIA" in clean, white lettering, clearly identifying the state. The focal point of the design, the route number, is prominently displayed as "81E" in large, bold white numerals. This "E" indicates the eastbound direction of travel.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design serves as a powerful symbol of early interstate travel. It represents the ambition and innovation of the mid-20th century, when the United States embarked on a monumental project to connect the nation with a network of modern highways. The red and blue color scheme, a staple of interstate signage, evokes a sense of order, efficiency, and the vastness of the American landscape.

The "81E" designation itself holds historical significance. It speaks to a time when directional prefixes were used to clarify travel, highlighting the evolution of highway standardization. Owning this sticker is like owning a small piece of Americana, reminding us of a pivotal period in the nation's development.

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.
