Requirements:

• Always cut as a "pointy-top" hexagon (even if the design has a special outer shape), so we can line them up perfectly in a hexagonal grid.
• 4" × 3.46", which is big enough to be prominent, but small enough to fit ~100 on the department front window.
• Re-adhesible and non-damaging cling material, so we can stick them to glass and move them around over time.
• Ability to have transparent regions, since some designs have a special outer shape and just don't look good with their backgrounds filled to white.

Shipping address:

Department of Biomedical Informatics 1890 N. Revere Ct. AHSB - 6th Floor MS F600 Aurora, CO 80045

Here is an email thread (to date) between me and a customer rep at Custom Stickers, the current preferred vendor for these stickers. The thread is to illustrate the value of the vendor (real human, good support, free test prints and reprints) and also to document what info was needed and what issues needed to be resolved.
