<div dir="ltr">I think by giving it away as a promotional tool is worth way more than the value of the plastic they take away. So as long as people don't order 1000 prints of a single item or something and as long as you're not spending money to pay for the plastic or anything that would normally go towards your space's bills then I wouldn't worry too much about the cost or charging people for it. If your space runs heavily on donations or something then I would ask them for donations yes. Otherwise giving it away for free and to tell their friends is worth a lot in terms of publicity and marketing.</div>

Any one think the "pay what it's worth" model would work in a case like this?<br>
