Need improvement/quality control

Laurel Mundy

The design of the pins I ordered turned out really cute (nice detailed printing), which is why these are getting 2 stars instead of 1. The overall quality is really inconsistent, and poor in some cases. They all have varying degrees of little chips in the acrylic around the edges, rather than a smooth die-cut edge. On some of them the chips are really noticeable and look quite bad. More troubling, on a couple of them the actual color design printed on the back has chipped off in a few places, making them unusable. Also, the pin part itself is only barely attached with a sticky adhesive—they are easy to detach from the back, which would be a problem if you actually wore the pin and bumped it on something—the design could fall right off! I would be tempted to remove all the backs and reattach them with superglue. I know these are a new product so Sticker Mule is probably still fixing kinks in the production process, but they don't hold up to the standard of quality that I have come to expect from other Sticker Mule products. It's too bad, because aside from all those issues, the design itself looks super cute. I would not order these again unless the overall quality is improved and guaranteed to be consistent.
