6. Sticker Stack

After experiencing the quality and range of amazing stickers and stationery in Asia – particularly in Japan and Korea – Sticker Stack's team was astonished. It knew that it had to bring some of this fantastic stuff the UK, and that is exactly what they're doing now. With one team in Bristol, England, and one in Daegu, South Korea, Sticker Stack has a unique outlook on the latest stationery trends across the globe.
