Use Stickers Instead of Buttons

For the past 7 years we've made buttons to give out at tournaments. But this year we just don't have the money. Buttons cost of .50 or more per. In small quantities as much as a dollar. When you start giving out 100's of them it gets very expensive. Some years it was a major part of our budget.

Our solution?
Avery 5294 Round Stickers

Just pickup some packages of Avery 5294 stickers. You may have to order them. Staples has them through their toll free ordering system(1-800-378-2753). You'll get 12 up on a sheet, 300 per pack for about $14 or less. This calculates out at about .05 per sticker. We used them at the a recent tournament and everyone loved them. At 2.5 inches they are decent size.

TIP: Make the background solid like we did for full bleed labels.

Here's the page at Avery with the labels:
