    No, they're stickers (vinyl)... that's why it's called the Sticker Shop. For $20, they'll send you a pack to apply to whatever items you want.

    Well, maybe! We use the same heat press vinyl for apparel and glassware/metal. Heat just enough to activate the adhesive and it will out hold regular sticky back vinyl. Course, gotta watch you don't heat it up too much or use to much pressure.
