Postal Workers 2020 Essential Quote Graphic for Mail Carrier Shirts, Mugs and Totes
This Postal Workers 2020 design is a single text-based quote graphic that reads “The One Where We Were Essential,” and it comes as an SVG, PNG, DXF and EPS file for cutting or printing. It is made for shirts, mugs, tote bags, decals and signs. The lettering is bold display type with hand-brushed touches, set in black on white, with a red strike-through line over the word “Quarantined” and two face masks sitting over the zeros of “2020.” Colour accents come from light blue, yellow and blue dots scattered across the layout, so you can pick out the mood before you cut or print. The humour and the appreciation both come through the wording, which makes it a good fit for carriers, mail sorters and anyone who kept the route running through 2020. You can use it to make a gift for a mail carrier, a crew shirt or a sign for a post office break room.
