History of stickers
European merchants are thought to be the first group to use sticky labels.
They added stickers to add to their products in the 1880s as a means to promote their wares. In those days, it was necessary to use a gum paste to adhere the labels.
In the early 1900s, a paste was developed to make the process of adhering the stickers more easy. It needed to be licked and was used mainly on stamps.
R. Stanton Avery was the creator of the adhesive backing. Over the years, this product was used more and more by sticker manufacturers and the need to lick the backing became a thing of the past.
