PINS – PATCHES – STICKERS : COLLECTING
2018 TREND BRIEF Stickers: Stickers are an inexpensive and easy way to have branding impact. Everyone loves to grab a sticker, or two (or a handful) and slap them on a laptop, bag, or journal. Additional ideas for an event are a collection of stickers from specific locations, similar to passport stamps or park visits.

Patches : The use of hook & loop tape (Velcro®) gives patches the ability to be interchangeable and varied. Using the base of a hat, backpack, or sweatshirt and adding a panel of loop adds a large section that single or multiple patches can be displayed on. Patches can be used as merit badges for accomplishments, attendance of an event or seminar, or stations you have visited, the ideas are endless.

Pins: Finding fun ways to collect pins can add new excitement to their use. There are many ways to encourage collection; a branded pennant to display pins, a grid on a tote to show the assortment, and amazing packaging like a matchbook style are all great ideas.
