What do we like best about our book?

It looks like a big matchbox

The outer cardboard cover protects the binding and also humorously imitates a matchbox with a check mark and a sticker. So exactly as they were originally produced.

More than 600 carefully selected designs

In the book, you will find a selection of the best ones that set our hearts on fire from our original collection of more than 30,000 designs.

Honest materials

We have chosen the structured Eco paper so that you get an experience from the book with every turn of the page. Thanks to the canvas binding with blind printing and embossing on the title cover, it will spark a spark between you at first sight and touch.

With respect to traditional craftsmanship

The front side of the outer cardboard packaging is printed by hand using letterpress - the same technology as the old stickers. This enhances the period character and gives you the impression of going back in time. All this on period paper, more than 50 years old.

A collection like no other

All stickers come from a conscientiously collected collection of several tens of thousands of motifs. Each sticker went through our hands several times before it was shortlisted.
