One of the ways to preserve knowledge aside from passing it by word of mouth is printing. The first writings or printings date back to the prehistoric times, at around 32,000 years ago where drawings were made on cave walls. There has been a lot of ways of preserving information invented through history, but historians agree that it was only around 700 A.D. that China was able to produce paper of close quality to modern paper. From there, printing has been slowly revolutionized and now printing has not only become an art form but a part of our everyday living.
Today there are already different kinds of printing material that is based on paper and one example of this printing material is the material used for making stickers or in sticker printing. Sticker printing is considered to be a street art, where images, text, and any graphical representation of information is printed on a sticker. There are all kinds of stickers appropriate for any organization, use, gender or age. Some children even have sticker collections.

Old Grumpy happy by sticking a sexy woman sticker at the side of his car - a sticker can do it all.
