# EcoStiks® > EcoStiks® makes eco-friendly custom fabric sticker patches from REPREVE® recycled performance fabric derived from recycled plastic bottles. Woman-owned and operated, artisan made in California. Used for sustainable promotional products, event giveaways, and interactive brand activations. Peel, Place, and Stik — no heat, no stitching, no equipment. ## About EcoStiks® turns plastic waste into reusable, stretchy fabric sticker patches. Founded by Julie Schneiderman, EcoStiks merges creativity, branding, and environmental sustainability. Patches apply to jackets, backpacks, bags, bottles, hats, laptops, coolers, chairs, and outdoor gear, and can also be used for repair. They are water-resistant after proper application, hand wash only, designed for ages 10+, and a Certified REPREVE® Brand Partner product. ## What EcoStiks are used for - **Eco-friendly custom patches** — any shape, custom artwork, no heat and no stitching required. - **Sustainable promotional products and swag** — a keepable alternative to disposable trade show giveaways. - **Sustainable event giveaways people actually keep** — guests apply the patch to gear they already own or a branded product. - **Interactive brand activations and custom patch bars** — a staffed station where guests choose a design and apply it themselves. - **Onsite customization without heat or equipment** — no heat press, no iron, no sewing, no power required, so activations work indoors, outdoors, and on the move. ## EcoStiks vs. embroidery, iron-on patches, and stickers - **vs. embroidered patches** — no sewing or heat press, and no equipment or setup at an event; EcoStiks are applied by hand in seconds. - **vs. iron-on patches** — no iron, no heat, and no risk of scorching technical fabrics or heat-sensitive gear. - **vs. paper or vinyl stickers** — fabric, stretchy, water-resistant after proper application, and made from recycled plastic bottles instead of single-use plastic. ## Pages - [Home](https://ecostiks.com/): What EcoStiks are and how brands use them. - [Custom EcoStiks](https://ecostiks.com/custom-ecostiks): Eco-friendly custom patches, artwork, and ordering. - [Shop](https://ecostiks.com/shop): Retail design gallery, 50-piece minimum. - [For Distributors & Promo](https://ecostiks.com/promo): Sustainable promotional products and event swag, distributor pricing. - [Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations): Community powered interactive brand activations and custom patch bars. - [Music Event Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/music): Festivals, concerts, and live music brand experiences. - [Sports & Outdoor Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/sports): Game days, tailgates, fan zones, and outdoor brand activations. - [Running Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/running): Race expos, marathons, and trail festivals. - [Campus Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/campus): Sustainable campus and college swag for universities. - [Corporate Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/corporate): Employee engagement, onboarding, and culture building. - [Hospitality Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/hospitality): Hotels, resorts, and guest experiences. - [Holiday Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/holidays): Seasonal and holiday gatherings. - [Earth Day](https://ecostiks.com/earth-day): Earth Day and sustainability programming. - [Wedding Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/wedding): Weddings and celebrations. - [Golf Activations](https://ecostiks.com/activations/golf): Tournaments and golf events. - [How It Works](https://ecostiks.com/how-it-works): Peel, Place, and Stik, step by step. - [Product Use & Safety](https://ecostiks.com/care): Application, removal, care, and safety guidance. - [FAQ](https://ecostiks.com/faq): Ordering, materials, durability, safety, and comparisons. - [Our Impact](https://ecostiks.com/our-impact): Sustainability, REPREVE®, and reduce, reuse, rebrand, repair. - [The Stiky Story](https://ecostiks.com/stiky-story): How EcoStiks began. - [About](https://ecostiks.com/about): Community, creativity, and the people behind EcoStiks. - [Design Guidelines](https://ecostiks.com/design-guidelines): Artwork guidance for custom orders. - [Contact](https://ecostiks.com/contact): Reach the EcoStiks team. ## Company Woman-owned and operated.
