Sticker Giant

Sticker Giant

About Sticker Giant: StickerGiant was founded by John Fischer in 2000. It all started from a single bumper sticker idea stating “He’s Not My President” in the aftermath of the 2000 Election. After several thousand sticker sales, StickerGiant was born with the goal of being “the Amazon of Stickers.” The company grew quickly, selling all sorts of stickers in an online retail store.

Over the years, customers started asking StickerGiant to print their own custom stickers printed. In 2010, the company transitioned to manufacturer and printer of custom stickers with the goal of providing premium quality stickers, fast turnaround and excellent customer service. Over the years our product offerings have grown, and we’ve navigated our way into the business of printing custom labels for products.
