Collecting banana labels is so much more than keeping small pieces of paper. It is the thrill of discovery when a new design appears in a supermarket. It is the excitement when a rare label from a faraway country finally makes its way into a collection.

Banana stickers have been a simple but effective form of advertising for decades. For brands, they provide instant recognition at very low cost. Collectors love them, and companies sometimes even use them for promotions or special editions.
