Rent A Press Adds Stickers to Print Products

Make your brand stick with custom stickers for every budget and need

LAS VEGAS, NV (Nov. 12, 2019) — Leading wholesale trade print provider Rent A Press is proud to announce the expansion of their line of print marketing products with custom printed stickers.  These new print products offer a new way to brand and self-promote companies of all sizes.

“Stickers are an extremely popular and trendy tool for branding and marketing”, says Viktoria Vasileva, marketing manager at RentAPress.  “Our line of full color, custom stickers make fantastic promotional gifts, product/shipping labeling, and can easily be combined with other print products like brochures, presentation folders, rack cards, booklets and flyers.” 

“The striking originality of stickers mean they naturally attract attention and entice engagement, making custom wholesale stickers not just a fun alternative to other more common marketing materials, but also represent a way to market that psychologically minimizes automatic defenses of a prospective customer/consumer”, Viktoria added, “Stickers are fun and that fun factor opens new ways of advertising that include increased odds of not just keeping the marketing materials but staying top of mind.  Stickers ultimately mean our brand and products have to be in front of someone fewer times for shorter amount of time before being committed to memory”. 

Custom stickers are a new, affordable and completely customizable wholesale product and come in a myriad of attractive shapes and sizes.  Each sticker is kiss-cut and are made from long lasting, fade-resistant yet writable materials with uncoated, semi-gloss, matte or vinyl finishes.  Each custom trade sticker is easy to peel and place. 

RentAPress’ new sticker product are printed on variety of stock using a permanent adhesive that can be applied to smooth surfaces like metal, glass, plastic and wood. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Disney’s classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress.  If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self.  But time is running out.  If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.  Disney’s Beauty And The Beast offers a great opportunity to bring the entire community together for family theatre at its best!

ABOUT BUENA PARK YOUTH THEATRE
Founded in 1981 by former elementary school teacher Ruth Walp, the Buena Park Youth Theatre was a direct result of the budgetary cutbacks in fine arts education in public schools. Since then, the program has produced fully staged Broadway musicals with over 7000 children and teens having participated over the years. The musicals continue to receive outstanding critical acclaim and attract audiences young and old.

DUI Checkpoint resulted in 4 arrests

Fontana, California - Fontana Police Department arrested an individual for DUI and three individuals on their outstanding warrants while conducting a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint on Saturday, November 16, 2019. The checkpoint was located on Cherry and Santa Ana, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.

In addition, 28 drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license and 11 additional citations were issued.

DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be approximately $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses not to mention possible jail time.

Fontana Police Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, can impair and result in a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs.

Fontana Police Department will be conducting additional DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols throughout the year in our ongoing commitment to take suspected impaired drivers off our streets and highways, ultimately lowering the risk for deaths and injuries.

Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Sa

Unhealthy air quality continues due to smoke from fire in San Fernando Valley

Unhealthy air quality continues due to smoke from fire in San Fernando Valley #malibu
Smoke and ash from the Saddleridge Fire in the San Fernando Valley carried by the wind has resulted in continuing unhealthy air quality for Malibu. The Los Angeles County Public Health Dept. advises that all people should take extra precautions to avoid health effects.

Sensitive individuals, including seniors, young children, and those with heart or lung conditions, may experience more serious health effects and should take extra precautions. Precautions include avoiding unnecessary outdoor exposure and limiting physical exertion (whether indoor or outdoor), such as exercise. Children and people who have air quality sensitive conditions, such as heart disease, asthma, and other chronic respiratory diseases, should stay indoors as much as possible, even in areas where smoke, soot, or ash cannot be seen, or there is no smell of smoke. If your condition worsens, contact your health care provider immediately for medical advice or call 911.

Free respiratory masks are available in the Michael Landon Center at Malibu Bluffs Park (PCH and Malibu Canyon Rd), which is open 8:00 AM to sunset every day, and at the Malibu Library (23519 Civic Center Way), which is open 9:00AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and 1:00 to 5:00 PM on Sunday.

City of Fontana Police Department receives Traffic Safety Grant

Fontana Police Department Awarded Traffic Education and Enforcement Grant From the OTS
Fontana, California – Fontana Police Department received a $325,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a one-year enforcement and education program. The money will fund various activities intended to reduce deaths and injuries on California roads.

“The Fontana Police Department has a long-standing and strong relationship with the California Office of Traffic Safety. We look forward to continuing our work together in the upcoming year, combatting traffic safety issues and thereby saving lives. Our organization takes the safety of its residents and the motoring public seriously and will work throughout the year to ensure the streets of Fontana are safe,” said Chief William Green.

The grant-related activities are for the 2020 federal fiscal year, which runs from Oct. 1, 2019 to Sept. 30, 2020.

The funding from the OTS will be used for numerous programs, including:
  • DUI/driver’s license checkpoints.
  • Patrols specifically looking for suspected alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers.
  • Patrols targeting violations of California’s hands-free cell phone law and vehicle code violations by drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians that put other roadway users at risk.
  • Patrols targeting the primary causes of crashes: Speeding, improper turns, running stop signs or signals, right-of-way violations and driving on the wrong side of the road.
  • Patrols specifically looking for seat belt and child safety seat violations.
  • Traffic safety education presentations for youth and community members on distracted and impaired driving, bicycle and pedestrian safety.
  • Creating “Hot Sheets” identifying repeat DUI offenders.
  • Officer training to identify suspected impaired drivers and conduct sobriety tests.
“Getting in a vehicle remains one of the most dangerous things we do,” OTS director Barbara Rooney said. “We must continue to work with our partners in law enforcement to shift that realization and make traveling on our roads safer.”

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
