Who Invented Stickers?
The Story Behind the First Stickers and Labels
Before the invention of self-adhesive stickers, most food and product labels relied on water-activated adhesive gums to stick.
- In 1935 Stan Avery, founder of Avery, revolutionised the labelling industry by inventing the first self-adhesive stickers. This innovation allowed people to label their products without the need for moisture.
- By 1940, Avery began selling these labels under the name “Kum Kleen Price Stickers”, which were primarily used for pricing goods.
