Virginia 17 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Sticker Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal pays homage to the historical significance of Virginia Route 17. The design captures the essence of a bygone era in Virginia's highway system, offering a visual journey through time for enthusiasts of road signage.

Artwork and Visual Elements

The sticker prominently features the iconic road sign of the original Virginia State Route 17 (SR 17) used from the 1920s until 1933. The design is a faithful reproduction of the historical road marker, showcasing a white shield with a distinctive "house-top" cutout, a defining characteristic of early Virginia state routes.

The legend within the shield is meticulously rendered. “VIRGINIA” is clearly displayed across the top panel in a bold, readable font, anchoring the state's identity to the route. Beneath, the large black numeral “17” is centered, immediately identifying the road's designation. A thin, yet distinct, black outline borders the entire shape, providing a clean separation from its surroundings and highlighting the sign's form.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents a tangible piece of Virginia's transportation history. The "house-top" shape and the "VIRGINIA 17" label are evocative of a time when state-specific route numbering systems were in their infancy, before the standardization of U.S. Highways. It symbolizes the state's early efforts to establish a network of roads and the evolution of transportation infrastructure.

The inclusion of the original SR 17 design, which predates the adoption of U.S. Route 17, suggests a recognition of historical context, illustrating the change from a state-based numbering plan to the modern U.S. Highway system.

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.
