Ordering suggestions:

Many online promotional product companies can print 3″ circle labels on rolls or as individual handout stickers. Sticker Mule, for example, has lots of options.

Most vendors should be able to work with the 3″ sticker pdf file to make larger or slightly smaller stickers. We do not recommend printing this sticker under 2.5″
