Stickers: The Unsung Heroes of the Sign Industry

1/30/2023

Let's Start A Conversation:

What if you didn’t have to feel anxiety—and eat the cost—from lost items ever again?

You know that feeling in your gut, right after you realize you lost something important? Your heart accelerates, your stomach churns, and your mind races into overdrive as you try and calculate how much this will cost, what information is lost, and what immediate action needs to happen to prevent any more damage.

For our own Jon, it was an iPad.

But he had hope: He’d attached a custom “Reward if Found” sticker to the back of the device, which he’d forgotten while out and about. And you know what happened? Jon got a phone call from a good Samaritan, eager to return the missing iPad, even declining the reward.

Label Your Equipment

And it works for more than phones and tablets: If your team uses expensive equipment on the job site, label it!

We recommend putting stickers—including contact information—on everything from drills to generators. Not only can they save you from the stress and expense of losing company property, but a branded sticker adds uniformity to your equipment and elevates your brand.

Keep Things Organized

Even if your team doesn’t make house calls, having supplies and equipment neatly organized will also save you time (and money!).

When everything is clearly labeled and easily accessed, your staff will have everything at their fingertips. You won’t accidentally order more post-its or ketchup because you didn’t see a box buried in the corner of a closet: Know what you have, and where you have it, always.

Stickers Are Lifesavers (Sometimes Literally)

At a hospital, labels can save lives. We helped organize Advocate Sherman Hospital’s Emergency Room supplies, creating custom stickers for all their equipment.

Thinking outside the box, Sherman used clear and distinctive floor graphics, ensuring all equipment gets put back in its proper place.
