How long is the trail?
We didn't have unlimited time and we walk slow, so we only did about 280 km of the trail. Taken in Roncesvalles, Spain. The trail is vastly improved since I made my previous trip with Pat Brant in 2002. I think bicycle would be the way to go now. Especially in the long, flat middle stretches and some of the urban areas. Since we were walking we deliberately chose the more rural parts of the Camino.
Power Bank FAQ
1) WHAT IS A POWER BANK?
A Power Bank serves as an âextra batteryâ or external charger for your phone or other electronic devices. It comes in handy in emergencies or whenever your USB device runs out of battery power.
2) HOW DO I CHARGE A POWER BANK?
The most common way you can charge your Power Bank is via your computers usb port.
3) HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE THE POWER BANK?
Itâs depends on the capacity of the Power Bank. The larger the capacity (measured as aMh milliamp hours), the longer charging time required. Different charging methods may result in different charging time as well.
4) WHAT IS MAH?
mAh means milli Ampere Hour, the capacity of the power bank is measured in mAhâs! A low capacity Power Bank would be a 2000 mAh while currently, high capacity Power Banks range above 20,000 mAhâs. The Best bag for your buck is a Power Bank in the 5000- 7000 aMh range.
5) HOW MANY CHARGES ARE IN A POWER BANK?
Thatâs kind of like saying how many people can fit in a car?. A big car (Cadillac Escalade) can hold 10 small people (kids) and a small car (VW Beetle) can only hold 2 Very Large People. Each Power Bank has varying capacity (ie how many aMHâs) and each phone or device has a differing size of battery (ie a cell phone takes less Juice to power up than an I-Phone) However, a simple way to look at this is a 12000mAh Power Bank should be able to charge a 1500mAh capacity cell phone about 8 times.
6) WHATâS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN 18650 POWER BANK AND A LI-POLYMER POWER BANK?
An 18650 is a Samsung designation. This type of battery holds the charge longer, is more stable and more reliable than a Li-Polymer Power Bank. All of our Power Banks are 18650 unless specifically stated otherwise.
What Power Bank is suitable for you?
Milliamps often interchanged with Milliamp Hours, or mAh, is used to describe the amount of charge a battery will hold.
Amp Output , abbreviated as "A", determines how fast your powerbank will charge. For example, a powerbank with .5A output will charge your mobile device slower than one with 1A output. Some larger devices such as a tablet can only be practically charged with a powerbank with a 1A output.
2200mAh - Standard powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 2200mAh capacity will comfortably charge a standard mobile phone. Smartphones and tablets won't be fully charged.
2600mAh - Standard powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 2600mAh capacity will fully charge most new phones, such as the Samsung and iPhone5 mobile devices. They will comfortably charge tablets, albeit not to capacity.
4400mAh + - Plus sized powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 4400mAh capacity willl have enough power to charge most tablets. Powerbanks rated at 4400mAh will typically be larger in size, due to additional battery cells.
8800mAh + - Plus sized powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 8800mAh capacity willl have enough power to simultaneously charge two mobile devices. Powerbanks rated at 4400mAh will typically be larger in size, due to additional battery cells.These powerbanks will also come standard with a 1A output.
Decoration
On all of our Power Banks we can silk screen-print your companyâs logo in up to 3 colors. On some of our style we can also laser engrave your logo as the casing for that particular style is metal. Check each style to insure which can be done.
To have us logo your Power Banks simply send us your logo in an AI (Adobe Illustrator) or EPS file. Also a vectorized (editable) PDF will also work.
Simply send us your logo to John@PromoCrunch.com
Once we have your logo and order we will send you a virtual proof for your approval. Once the approval is done it takes about 7-10 days for delivery of your Power Banks to your location.
Pantone
Send us your design or logo with spot colors and ensure that your company colors are represented accurately. USB Promos will match Pantone colors, as well as Trumatch or other CMYK premixed inks. All monitors are not created (or calibrated) equally, but your spot color will be reproduced per your color matching system, so there are no surprises.
Use our Pantone color chart for reference. For accuracy, please consult your Pantone color guides. Because of differences in monitor color rendering, We cannot guarantee that our color chart will exactly match the Pantone colors in your design. Please note that Pantone colors are generally matched to a white background casing or substrate color. If you are printing on a background other than white, please inform your sales rep that this is the case, because some adjustments might need to be made. Also, make sure that all vector art supplied has knockouts for different layers in the screens, as to avoid overlapping screened colours as this can affect color appearance as well

Screen Print/Pad Print:
Screen printing, previously known as silk-screening is a printing technique that traditionally creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil and a porous fabric. The screen is made from porous finely woven fabric held over a frame. Areas of the screen are obscured with a non-permeable stencil which is a positive of the image to be printed (the remaining open areas are where the ink will appear). When printing multi-color logos, a new stencil is made for each color and the different colors printed sequentially. Screen printing is most suitable for logos with 1-4 colors that have no shading or color gradation.
CMYK Full Color Photo Print:
Photo printing is similar to standard desktop printing in that logos can be reproduced in full color by combining 4 colors known as CMYK in varying amounts. Photo printing is the best choice for logos with many colors or those with shading or gradation.
Laser Etch:
This permanent marking process involves using a fiber or CO2 laser to etch your design on the surface of the USB drive. This process exposes the underlying substrate of the material if it is painted or anodized, or if it is a raw material, vaporizes a thin layer of the substrate to make a different color. It is necessary to use vector art for this process, as we cannot laser etch any gradients, halftones or colors. Keep in mind that the underlying substrate of painted drives might be brass, zinc, aluminum, steel, or plastic. These different substrates each have a unique color and will be exposed when etching painted drives. If laser etching a wooden drive, the laser will burn the wood a darker color as the temperature of the laser site exceeds the flash point of the wood.
Hot Stamp:
Hot stamping is a debossing process that is used to imprint leather or wood drives. First, a positive die is machined from your vector artwork. This die is then heated and pressed into the surface of the drive. The artwork is then permanently reliefed into the surface of the drive. This process has a fair amount of dimension in it, so small details might not be accurately transferred to the surface of the drive. As with laser etching, the hot stamping process will burn the wood or leather a darker color as the temperature of the die exceeds the flash point of the material.
Extruded Detail on PVC:
When creating a custom PVC drive, all details are extruded off of the surface of the drive. These details can be the same color as the base color of the drive, or poured as a different color. These details are hand applied, so there may be slight variation between two drives of the same batch. Some restrictions to keep in mind- details cannot be extruded taller than they are thick, details cannot be less than 0.25mm wide, and details cannot be less than 0.25mm apart. This is due to the machining limitations in creating the mould. Also, due to the hand made nature of these drives, we can only produce a custom PVC drive with 7 colors or less.
Epoxy Dome:
This applique features a digital full color print underneath an epoxy domed coating. First a die is created to the shape of your artwork, which is then used to cut a vinyl full color print to shape. A optically transparent epoxy is poured over the decal and allowed to harden, protecting the artwork from scratches or scuffs. This type of decal is only suitable for application to flat surfaces.
Vinyl Decal:
This applique is perfect for simulating a printed label on PVC USB drives. Your full color art is printed directly onto a vinyl sticker and die cut to size. As this label is made from flexible vinyl, it is possible to wrap it around cylindrical shapes.

FINALLY the moment we've all been waiting for!!!
Remember this: [link] [link] [link] ? Well I finished her at 11:43 Am this morning.
This is a finally finished 9 month long project, I missed so many deadlines with through all of the problem that I have had with it. This is a super expensive custom built movie truck, the goblin truck form Steven King's 1986 "Maximum Overdrive" movie. In total this custom kit utilizes parts from 6 different truck and trailer kits. Our base kit is actually a Kenworth W900, that I heavily modified. Now I know a few of you truck gurus out there are going to give me hell about the goblin truck in the not being a Kenworth, well guess what, it is a Kenworth, so stick that in in your juice box and suck it. Anyway, I missed numerous deadlines by piddling around, but I guess that's what I get. This kit was originally suppose to be finished and uploaded by July 10th 2011, for the movie's 25th anniversary release date in theaters, but missed that, then I was suppose to have it done by August 7th, 2011 for the county fair, but then I missed that one, I was suppose to have it up by Sunday then Monday and I missed those deadlines as well; so here I present to you a month and a half overdue project. I hope you enjoy I went through hell and back to bring it to you.
Features of this model are:
*rolling wheels
*opening/closing doors
*detailed components
*opening hood
*detailed goblin mask
*working fifth wheel plate
*semi trailer
*privacy curtains for the sleeper cab
*dash fan
Here is all of what I did to this kit in a condensed version, I took Kenworth w900 kit and took the original sleeper cab of and replaced it with a smaller sleeper leftover from my previous Peterbilt project: [link] [link] and patched the triangular shaped hole in the roof with plastic card and body filler. Then shortened the frame about an inch and a half by sectioning out the frame into 3 different pieces then reassembling them back together again; (in reality if this truck were full size, that 1.5 of an inch in scale would take off about a 6-8 feet off of the overall length off of the full sized vehicle). I relocated the gas tanks so that they were under the cab and mounted the smoke stacks on the sleeper, I had to custom fabricate exhaust tips and the pipes from the stacks going to the engine out of scrap plastic tree. For some odd reason the fifth wheel plate that originally came with the truck wasn't good enough, so I ended up cutting the entire base to the plate off of the frame rails and then sanded the frame down, next I then took that spare that was leftover from the Peterbilt project and modified it and put it in place where the other one was at; it all worked out in the end. I ended up discarding many of the other non-necessary parts and used some interior components like the seats and other parts from a Dodge L700 Kit and left over parts form the Peterbilt project. T he bed is leftover from the Peterbilt, the privacy curtains for the sleeper cab are made from pieces of plastic bag and plastic tree, the fan on the dash is made from a piece of painted scrap plastic tree and the fan cage is made from clear scrap plastic tree panted to have fan blades with a cage around it. I cut the doors out, sanded down the edges, attached fine cabinet hinges to the doors and attached then tho the inside of the cab, I then fabricated door jams from plastic card for the doors so that they didn't swing in too far and so that there wasn't any unsightly gab between the roof pillars and the door. The dry van box trailer is from another Dodge L700 kit modified from a few parts off of another flat bed trailer kit and custom fabricated parts. The goblin mask is made from about 3 layers of 3/4 inch scrap styrene foam sheeting glued together with Elmer's carpenter glue, acrylic paint, body filler, primer and modeler's acrylic paint. The color of green to the goblin mask is made up of 4 custom mixed colors to give it it's look (unfortunately, I couldn't quite find the right shade of green). Put a lot of the stock components together and painted them all 1 color and then detail any specific components. The trailer was a bit of a trick, I had to sand off the ribs off of the sides of the trailer and temporarily hold the walls, roof together to the deck of the trailer with rubber bands until the plastic cement cured. I then painted the whole trailer, I paint the individual wood planking to the decks as well. I attached it to the hood and then paint on the red, the turn signals and many of the running lights to the trailer and hood came off of a Ford Louisville L7000 Snow Plow kit. I had to custom fabricate a new bumper from plastic card because the other one was too small and left a giant gap between the the mask and the front fenders. I had to custom make decals for the trailer and then glued them to the sides and back and I then clear coated them. After all of the major crap like body modifications, part fabrication, major parts assembly/ painting was over with I then painted painted anything else leftover and attached any other detailed parts, and well the rest is history.
In total the estimated cost of building this kit was about $268, if I were to build this kit again, it would cost me about $300 to $400.
There you go to my dearest fans who were waiting ever so patiently.

Power Bank FAQ
1) WHAT IS A POWER BANK?
A Power Bank serves as an âextra batteryâ or external charger for your phone or other electronic devices. It comes in handy in emergencies or whenever your USB device runs out of battery power.
2) HOW DO I CHARGE A POWER BANK?
The most common way you can charge your Power Bank is via your computers usb port.
3) HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE THE POWER BANK?
Itâs depends on the capacity of the Power Bank. The larger the capacity (measured as aMh milliamp hours), the longer charging time required. Different charging methods may result in different charging time as well.
4) WHAT IS MAH?
mAh means milli Ampere Hour, the capacity of the power bank is measured in mAhâs! A low capacity Power Bank would be a 2000 mAh while currently, high capacity Power Banks range above 20,000 mAhâs. The Best bag for your buck is a Power Bank in the 5000- 7000 aMh range.
5) HOW MANY CHARGES ARE IN A POWER BANK?
Thatâs kind of like saying how many people can fit in a car?. A big car (Cadillac Escalade) can hold 10 small people (kids) and a small car (VW Beetle) can only hold 2 Very Large People. Each Power Bank has varying capacity (ie how many aMHâs) and each phone or device has a differing size of battery (ie a cell phone takes less Juice to power up than an I-Phone) However, a simple way to look at this is a 12000mAh Power Bank should be able to charge a 1500mAh capacity cell phone about 8 times.
6) WHATâS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN 18650 POWER BANK AND A LI-POLYMER POWER BANK?
An 18650 is a Samsung designation. This type of battery holds the charge longer, is more stable and more reliable than a Li-Polymer Power Bank. All of our Power Banks are 18650 unless specifically stated otherwise.
What Power Bank is suitable for you?
Milliamps often interchanged with Milliamp Hours, or mAh, is used to describe the amount of charge a battery will hold.
Amp Output , abbreviated as "A", determines how fast your powerbank will charge. For example, a powerbank with .5A output will charge your mobile device slower than one with 1A output. Some larger devices such as a tablet can only be practically charged with a powerbank with a 1A output.
2200mAh - Standard powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 2200mAh capacity will comfortably charge a standard mobile phone. Smartphones and tablets won't be fully charged.
2600mAh - Standard powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 2600mAh capacity will fully charge most new phones, such as the Samsung and iPhone5 mobile devices. They will comfortably charge tablets, albeit not to capacity.
4400mAh + - Plus sized powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 4400mAh capacity willl have enough power to charge most tablets. Powerbanks rated at 4400mAh will typically be larger in size, due to additional battery cells.
8800mAh + - Plus sized powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 8800mAh capacity willl have enough power to simultaneously charge two mobile devices. Powerbanks rated at 4400mAh will typically be larger in size, due to additional battery cells.These powerbanks will also come standard with a 1A output.
Decoration
On all of our Power Banks we can silk screen-print your companyâs logo in up to 3 colors. On some of our style we can also laser engrave your logo as the casing for that particular style is metal. Check each style to insure which can be done.
To have us logo your Power Banks simply send us your logo in an AI (Adobe Illustrator) or EPS file. Also a vectorized (editable) PDF will also work.
Simply send us your logo to John@PromoCrunch.com
Once we have your logo and order we will send you a virtual proof for your approval. Once the approval is done it takes about 7-10 days for delivery of your Power Banks to your location.
Pantone
Send us your design or logo with spot colors and ensure that your company colors are represented accurately. USB Promos will match Pantone colors, as well as Trumatch or other CMYK premixed inks. All monitors are not created (or calibrated) equally, but your spot color will be reproduced per your color matching system, so there are no surprises.
Use our Pantone color chart for reference. For accuracy, please consult your Pantone color guides. Because of differences in monitor color rendering, We cannot guarantee that our color chart will exactly match the Pantone colors in your design. Please note that Pantone colors are generally matched to a white background casing or substrate color. If you are printing on a background other than white, please inform your sales rep that this is the case, because some adjustments might need to be made. Also, make sure that all vector art supplied has knockouts for different layers in the screens, as to avoid overlapping screened colours as this can affect color appearance as well
Decoration Options
Screen Print/Pad Print:
Screen printing, previously known as silk-screening is a printing technique that traditionally creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil and a porous fabric. The screen is made from porous finely woven fabric held over a frame. Areas of the screen are obscured with a non-permeable stencil which is a positive of the image to be printed (the remaining open areas are where the ink will appear). When printing multi-color logos, a new stencil is made for each color and the different colors printed sequentially. Screen printing is most suitable for logos with 1-4 colors that have no shading or color gradation.
CMYK Full Color Photo Print:
Photo printing is similar to standard desktop printing in that logos can be reproduced in full color by combining 4 colors known as CMYK in varying amounts. Photo printing is the best choice for logos with many colors or those with shading or gradation.
Laser Etch:
This permanent marking process involves using a fiber or CO2 laser to etch your design on the surface of the USB drive. This process exposes the underlying substrate of the material if it is painted or anodized, or if it is a raw material, vaporizes a thin layer of the substrate to make a different color. It is necessary to use vector art for this process, as we cannot laser etch any gradients, halftones or colors. Keep in mind that the underlying substrate of painted drives might be brass, zinc, aluminum, steel, or plastic. These different substrates each have a unique color and will be exposed when etching painted drives. If laser etching a wooden drive, the laser will burn the wood a darker color as the temperature of the laser site exceeds the flash point of the wood.
Hot Stamp:
Hot stamping is a debossing process that is used to imprint leather or wood drives. First, a positive die is machined from your vector artwork. This die is then heated and pressed into the surface of the drive. The artwork is then permanently reliefed into the surface of the drive. This process has a fair amount of dimension in it, so small details might not be accurately transferred to the surface of the drive. As with laser etching, the hot stamping process will burn the wood or leather a darker color as the temperature of the die exceeds the flash point of the material.
Extruded Detail on PVC:
When creating a custom PVC drive, all details are extruded off of the surface of the drive. These details can be the same color as the base color of the drive, or poured as a different color. These details are hand applied, so there may be slight variation between two drives of the same batch. Some restrictions to keep in mind- details cannot be extruded taller than they are thick, details cannot be less than 0.25mm wide, and details cannot be less than 0.25mm apart. This is due to the machining limitations in creating the mould. Also, due to the hand made nature of these drives, we can only produce a custom PVC drive with 7 colors or less.
Epoxy Dome:
This applique features a digital full color print underneath an epoxy domed coating. First a die is created to the shape of your artwork, which is then used to cut a vinyl full color print to shape. A optically transparent epoxy is poured over the decal and allowed to harden, protecting the artwork from scratches or scuffs. This type of decal is only suitable for application to flat surfaces.
Vinyl Decal:
This applique is perfect for simulating a printed label on PVC USB drives. Your full color art is printed directly onto a vinyl sticker and die cut to size. As this label is made from flexible vinyl, it is possible to wrap it around cylindrical shapes.

mAh means milli Ampere Hour, the capacity of the power bank is measured in mAhâs! A low capacity Power Bank would be a 2000 mAh while currently, high capacity Power Banks range above 20,000 mAhâs. The Best bag for your buck is a Power Bank in the 5000- 7000 aMh range.
5) HOW MANY CHARGES ARE IN A POWER BANK?
Thatâs kind of like saying how many people can fit in a car?. A big car (Cadillac Escalade) can hold 10 small people (kids) and a small car (VW Beetle) can only hold 2 Very Large People. Each Power Bank has varying capacity (ie how many aMHâs) and each phone or device has a differing size of battery (ie a cell phone takes less Juice to power up than an I-Phone) However, a simple way to look at this is a 12000mAh Power Bank should be able to charge a 1500mAh capacity cell phone about 8 times.
6) WHATâS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN 18650 POWER BANK AND A LI-POLYMER POWER BANK?
An 18650 is a Samsung designation. This type of battery holds the charge longer, is more stable and more reliable than a Li-Polymer Power Bank. All of our Power Banks are 18650 unless specifically stated otherwise.
What Power Bank is suitable for you?
Milliamps often interchanged with Milliamp Hours, or mAh, is used to describe the amount of charge a battery will hold.
Amp Output , abbreviated as "A", determines how fast your powerbank will charge. For example, a powerbank with .5A output will charge your mobile device slower than one with 1A output. Some larger devices such as a tablet can only be practically charged with a powerbank with a 1A output.
2200mAh - Standard powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 2200mAh capacity will comfortably charge a standard mobile phone. Smartphones and tablets won't be fully charged.
2600mAh - Standard powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 2600mAh capacity will fully charge most new phones, such as the Samsung and iPhone5 mobile devices. They will comfortably charge tablets, albeit not to capacity.
4400mAh + - Plus sized powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 4400mAh capacity willl have enough power to charge most tablets. Powerbanks rated at 4400mAh will typically be larger in size, due to additional battery cells.
8800mAh + - Plus sized powerbank capacity. A powerbank with a 8800mAh capacity willl have enough power to simultaneously charge two mobile devices. Powerbanks rated at 4400mAh will typically be larger in size, due to additional battery cells.These powerbanks will also come standard with a 1A output.
Decoration
On all of our Power Banks we can silk screen-print your companyâs logo in up to 3 colors. On some of our style we can also laser engrave your logo as the casing for that particular style is metal. Check each style to insure which can be done.
To have us logo your Power Banks simply send us your logo in an AI (Adobe Illustrator) or EPS file. Also a vectorized (editable) PDF will also work.
Simply send us your logo to John@PromoCrunch.com
Once we have your logo and order we will send you a virtual proof for your approval. Once the approval is done it takes about 7-10 days for delivery of your Power Banks to your location.
Pantone
Send us your design or logo with spot colors and ensure that your company colors are represented accurately. USB Promos will match Pantone colors, as well as Trumatch or other CMYK premixed inks. All monitors are not created (or calibrated) equally, but your spot color will be reproduced per your color matching system, so there are no surprises.
Use our Pantone color chart for reference. For accuracy, please consult your Pantone color guides. Because of differences in monitor color rendering, We cannot guarantee that our color chart will exactly match the Pantone colors in your design. Please note that Pantone colors are generally matched to a white background casing or substrate color. If you are printing on a background other than white, please inform your sales rep that this is the case, because some adjustments might need to be made. Also, make sure that all vector art supplied has knockouts for different layers in the screens, as to avoid overlapping screened colours as this can affect color appearance as well
Decoration Options
Screen Print/Pad Print:
Screen printing, previously known as silk-screening is a printing technique that traditionally creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil and a porous fabric. The screen is made from porous finely woven fabric held over a frame. Areas of the screen are obscured with a non-permeable stencil which is a positive of the image to be printed (the remaining open areas are where the ink will appear). When printing multi-color logos, a new stencil is made for each color and the different colors printed sequentially. Screen printing is most suitable for logos with 1-4 colors that have no shading or color gradation.
CMYK Full Color Photo Print:
Photo printing is similar to standard desktop printing in that logos can be reproduced in full color by combining 4 colors known as CMYK in varying amounts. Photo printing is the best choice for logos with many colors or those with shading or gradation.
Laser Etch:
This permanent marking process involves using a fiber or CO2 laser to etch your design on the surface of the USB drive. This process exposes the underlying substrate of the material if it is painted or anodized, or if it is a raw material, vaporizes a thin layer of the substrate to make a different color. It is necessary to use vector art for this process, as we cannot laser etch any gradients, halftones or colors. Keep in mind that the underlying substrate of painted drives might be brass, zinc, aluminum, steel, or plastic. These different substrates each have a unique color and will be exposed when etching painted drives. If laser etching a wooden drive, the laser will burn the wood a darker color as the temperature of the laser site exceeds the flash point of the wood.
Hot Stamp:
Hot stamping is a debossing process that is used to imprint leather or wood drives. First, a positive die is machined from your vector artwork. This die is then heated and pressed into the surface of the drive. The artwork is then permanently reliefed into the surface of the drive. This process has a fair amount of dimension in it, so small details might not be accurately transferred to the surface of the drive. As with laser etching, the hot stamping process will burn the wood or leather a darker color as the temperature of the die exceeds the flash point of the material.
Extruded Detail on PVC:
When creating a custom PVC drive, all details are extruded off of the surface of the drive. These details can be the same color as the base color of the drive, or poured as a different color. These details are hand applied, so there may be slight variation between two drives of the same batch. Some restrictions to keep in mind- details cannot be extruded taller than they are thick, details cannot be less than 0.25mm wide, and details cannot be less than 0.25mm apart. This is due to the machining limitations in creating the mould. Also, due to the hand made nature of these drives, we can only produce a custom PVC drive with 7 colors or less.
Epoxy Dome:
This applique features a digital full color print underneath an epoxy domed coating. First a die is created to the shape of your artwork, which is then used to cut a vinyl full color print to shape. A optically transparent epoxy is poured over the decal and allowed to harden, protecting the artwork from scratches or scuffs. This type of decal is only suitable for application to flat surfaces.
Vinyl Decal:
This applique is perfect for simulating a printed label on PVC USB drives. Your full color art is printed directly onto a vinyl sticker and die cut to size. As this label is made from flexible vinyl, it is possible to wrap it around cylindrical shapes.
