When family and loved ones leave earlier than anticipated or in a tragic way, it is not uncommon to find people who want to make a statement with lapel pins, stickers, banners, shirts and other promotional products, it is sometimes their way to cope with the loss and at the same time let the world know that their loss won’t be in vain.
It is then when we get the requests for memorial pins, stickers, patches and more.
An ongoing trend in the last few years is using ribbon lapel pins, most commonly used for awareness and other causes, customized with the person’s name and or date, and sometimes the reason of the loss.
