Graphicsland is an independently owned, profitable and growing e-commerce company that specializes in custom printing of stickers, product labels, and wide format posters. We operate two brands: MakeStickers which is one of the nation’s most popular custom sticker and label brands, and PosterNerd which specializes in printing high quality research posters on paper and fabric for the academic community. We're developing a third brand, InkWave, which will focus on small business customers and eventually offer a wider range of custom-printed packaging products.
