NEW Hologram Stickers made by StickerDot

If you have purchased jewellery from me lately you would have noticed the NEW  Hologram Stickers made by StickerDot using my logo that Nicola at Taker designed. These kick-ass custom made hologram stickers are unapologetically shimmery, contain every colour in the rainbow and go nicely with my entire brand concept. I was very impressed with the quality of the paper, the printing and their service. Even in the crazy world we live today, the stickers where easy to track and arrived fast.  If you are looking to get a custom sticker for your business look no further, go to StickerDot and get what you brand needs. Gracias StickerDot!
