Youngster grows up FAST

摘要

Twenty years ago, the New York Times interviewed Jason Grossman about the then-burgeoning scrapbook craze and the printed sticker business. What will you do if sticker sales ever slow down, the reporter asked? "Off the cuff, I just said, print wine labels," Grossman recalls, and Petaluma, CA-based Paragon Labels was born. Of course, it wasn't really that simple. Four-year-old Paragon is an outgrowth of parent company Mrs, Grossman's Paper Co., founded in 1979 by Grossman's mother Andrea. As the country's largest sticker manufacturer, Mrs. Grossman's prints more than 15,000 miles of p-s stickers a year in over 600 different designs. The company was previously fea-tured in Converting (August 1997, p. 50).
