How To Choose The Right Kind Of Union Sticker For Your Organization?

 Union organizations play a crucial role in uniting people with similar beliefs. They do this by fostering in their members a sense of pride and professionalism in the work their members do and the collective values their membership stand for. A union is also responsible for spreading awareness about the contributions their members make for the betterment of society. Unions provide a structure for people to stand together as a community and assist each other. Union organizations also bridge the gap between their members and the general public by communicating sensitive issues and spreading awareness. 

How unions became a part of our lives

The history of unions goes back to the late 19th century when workers felt the need to unite and collectively find solutions to their employer and employment related challenges. Initially, workers came together based on their skills, and thus, we had unions of carpenters, bricklayers, and plumbers. These unions played a vital role in ensuring that the demands of the workers were met. They also looked after safety issues and bringing parity in wages. The posters used in those days speak a lot about the struggle workers went through. Union stickers originated as a means to communicate with workers about specific issues, bolster membership courage and celebrate the work the members did.

Today, we see many stickers that make us aware of the values unions stand for. These stickers also sensitize us about the work union members do and the hazards these workers face in their workplace.

Printing stickers for unions

With the advancement of printing technology, choices of media available for stickers have increased. Unions have an array of options for spreading their messages. Union organizations use stickers in various forms. Hard hat stickers, window decals, magnetic stickers, bumper stickers and lunch box stickers are a few popular options that Unions can use to spread their messages.

Choose a sticker or a decal?

Stickers are the most popular and easiest method to make your point. However, stickers may not be suitable in all situations. When choosing media, you have to consider its size, intended use, and lifespan.

Stickers are small and ideal for windows, hard hats, and lunch boxes. However, for floors, windows, vehicles, and walls, decals would be more suitable.

Decals being large can accommodate intricate designs and longer messages. You can make them more prominent by using images in vibrant colors. Using contrasting colors is also an impressive way to make them attractive.

Decals can be applied on walls, floors, and windows. However, for each type, the design and sticking method are different. While designing decals for the outdoors, get permanent decals. These are made of durable, cost effective materials.

Decals are sturdier and come with a longer lifespan. If you want your message to last longer and get a higher return on your investment, then choose a decal over a sticker or label.

Why choose magnetic stickers?

If you are looking for an easy and viable method of communication, magnetic stickers may be the right choice. These are easy to apply and are commonly put on the sides of vehicles.

Magnetic stickers are low cost and highly visible. So, whether it’s a union of carpenters, iron workers, or electrical workers, magnetic stickers may be the right choice to convey your message.

Magnetic stickers are highly-visible. Available in different sizes, magnetic stickers can be made to work on cars, trucks, work vans and larger vehicles.

Magnetic stickers are easily applied directly on the vehicle. Anyone can apply them and also remove them when they are no longer required.

When it comes to selecting a design for magnetic stickers, you can choose from custom designs or create your own. These stickers are made from high-quality vinyl print material that is ideal for the outdoors. Soft PVC film is used to produce vinyl, which makes it versatile and highly durable. 

The print for the magnet is produced using eco-solvent inks for the best result. Using a professional laminating system, the printed vinyl is mounted on a magnetic sheet. For added protection magnetic stickers can be laminated. Lamination is an additional protective clear vinyl that is applied over the printed film surface. Lamination is very important to ensure the long life of the magnets. It also protects the stickers from discoloring and damage.

How to increase the life of your magnetic stickers?

If you are using magnetic union stickers, you can take certain steps to lengthen their life. Keep the stickers dry and clean always. If dirt builds up between the magnetic surface and the surface of a vehicle that the magnet is adhered to, the magnetic strength will be reduced. If the magnetic strength is reduced the sticker could fly off a vehicle when driving at higher speeds. Dirt build-up between the magnetic surface and the surface the magnet is adhered to may also harm the finish of the surface so the paint of the vehicle could be damaged.
