Sticker swag
by Laura Dorgelo 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hello Library Land, We're adding to our library swag collection after letting it dwindle, and we want to add vinyl stickers. I tested some that came on a big sheet which look nice, but we have to hand cut them out which is proving to be very monotonous. We would like lots of options for placing our designs, but maybe find a company with pre-cutting options. Does anyone have any suggestions for a company? Thanks so much!
