Group: FSF:office volunteers/bundling stickers

Bundling stickers is one of the ways to help out at the FSF office. This page contains the instructions for the task.

Bundling Stickers

Since the FSF often sends out large sticker packs to free software conferences around the world, it's really helpful to have sets of 100 for each sticker type in stock.

Starting Out

If you'd like to to do this job, find the sticker boxes in the closet next to the scanning machine. It is at the back of the office, on the right.

Find sticker types that don't seem to have a lot of bundles, and grab a whole bunch to compile.

Tips

• For individual stickers, it's helpful to count out 5 piles of 10, stack them together, and then make another stack that is the same height right next to it. Put those stacks together, and you have 100 stickers, give or take. Then you can use the same comparing method to quickly make more stacks that are about the same size.

• For stickers on rolls, you can count out 5 stickers, then fold the tape back and forth at that length several more times. You should have a total of 10 folds on the end that only has folds and no ends, to get 100 stickers. Once you break off your 100, you can fold the stack of stickers four times in a zig-zag so that you end up with a neat little stack.

Finishing Up

Take your sets of 100 and put a rubber band around each set. Put them back in the box. Thanks!
