When were bumper stickers introduced?

The first custom bumpers stickers appeared shortly before World War II. They were flag like and attached by wire. Forest P. Gill, a silkscreen printer from Kansas City is credited with replacing the wire with pressure sensitive adhesive. As a result, bumper stickers became more widespread and practical.

To make your own bumper stickers is now easy! There are several companies that offer online design and printing. A simple Google search will give you a list. Some have no minimum orders and some do, it all depends on the service.

What is really fun is to make your own bumper stickers - design and print them with any ink jet printer in 5 minutes or less. One software program that allows you to do that is Your Bumper Sticker Maker (http://www.custombumperstickermaker.com/).

Uses - there are no limits. We ALL have something to say in this world!!!

Commercial

Everything from "How is My Driving" to putting your business card on your car bumper or rear window! No matter what your business is, letting people know who you are, what you do and how to contact you are key. Besides all the traditional methods, try a custom bumper sticker. Hand out to associates, employees, friends to help promote your business.

Religious

Express your beliefs and faith the way YOU want. For home, school, church or office. The beauty is to make your own bumper sticker exactly with what you want to say.

Humorous

Everyone likes a laugh - everything from "Careful, I drive just like you" to "My Kids think I am an ATM." Need ideas, go to http://www.innocentenglish.com/ and you will find hundreds.

Sports Teams

My personal favorite! No matter if it's school soccer, baseball, basketball, football, hockey or your favorite professional sports team, you can make your own bumper sticker and say exactly what you feel. Got an opinion about a certain player or team - say it and print it in 5 minutes. Take it to the game. Got a big game coming up - get the WHOLE school involved with a custom bumper sticker.

Political

Who are you supporting in the upcoming elections? Shout it out and make your statement. No need to go to anyone's "official site." Your "official site is your computer and printer!
