Whether you use stickers to decorate your planner spreads, highlight important dates, or add a touch of personality to your pages, this day is for you. But how did National Sticker Day come to be, and why is it celebrated on January 13th? Let’s explore its origins and how you can join the fun—planner style!
A Brief History of Stickers
Stickers have been around for centuries, but their story is as fascinating as it is creative. Back in the 1880s, European merchants started using gum paste to adhere labels to their products. These early stickers were both functional and eye-catching, designed to grab the attention of shoppers.
Fast forward to 1935, and R. Stanton Avery invented the first self-adhesive label, revolutionizing the sticker world. This innovation gave rise to the modern stickers we use today—from decorative embellishments in our planners to functional labels that keep us organized.
The Start of National Sticker Day
In 2016, StickerGiant established National Sticker Day to celebrate the joy and creativity stickers bring to our lives. January 13th was chosen in honor of R. Stanton Avery’s birthday, recognizing his pivotal role in the evolution of stickers. Since then, it has become a beloved day for sticker lovers, especially in the planner community.
