Are Scratch and Sniff Stickers Still Made?
If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, you probably remember the thrill of peeling off a fresh scratch-and-sniff sticker and taking that first glorious whiff. For many people, these scented stickers feel like a thing of the past — a nostalgic memory tucked away with neon shoelaces and Trapper Keepers.
But here’s the truth:
Scratch-and-sniff stickers never disappeared — and they’re more popular today than ever.
And after creating our own scratch and sniff line for over 15 years, we’ve seen the demand skyrocket firsthand.

Why Scratch and Sniff Is Making a Big Comeback
The closure of Trend Enterprises — one of the original pioneers of scented stickers — left a gap for nostalgic sticker fans. Collectors, classrooms, and sticker lovers everywhere still want scratch and sniff stickers, and Dr. Stinky is here with quality, variety, and strong scents for everyone.
We’re proud to say:
Our fan base is incredibly loyal.
Teachers, collectors, parents, and long-time fans constantly tell us how much they love the scents, the artwork, and the fun characters.
How We Make Scratch and Sniff Stickers Today (Modern Tech + Timeless Style)
We use micro-encapsulation technology, which traps concentrated fragrance oils inside tiny capsules. When scratched, the capsules break, releasing the oil's strong fragrance. With millions of bubbles per sticker, that makes for some seriously long-lasting scents!
Paired with:
🎨Bright, colorful, timeless artwork
😄Fun character designs
🥤Silly, memorable phrases like “Soda-Lightful” or “Cocoa Crazy”
…our stickers give you the nostalgia you remember, with fun characters and intense scents.
How Teachers, Students & Collectors Keep Scratch-and-Sniff Alive
Teachers are some of our biggest fans.
We’ve seen our stickers used for:
✏️ Homework rewards
⭐ Test incentives
📊 Classroom sticker charts
🎉 Fun games and activities
Some teachers even tell us that students try harder on assignments because they want to earn a Dr. Stinky's sticker. That’s the power of scent and motivation combined.
Collectors also love exploring our wide scent library— especially the nostalgic ones they remember from childhood or the weird new ones they wish existed back then.
Behind the Scenes: How We Choose New Scents
Every scent starts with a simple question:
Is this fun, nostalgic, or trending?
We consider:
-
🎬Pop-culture trends
-
🍭New food and candy flavors
-
🤢Fun “gross out” concepts kids love
But here’s the hardest part:
Not every scent idea works in sticker form. Some smells that sound amazing simply don’t translate well through micro-encapsulation.
We also insist on one thing above all:
Every scent must be super strong.
If it’s not bold, accurate, and long-lasting, it doesn’t make the cut.
So… Are Scratch and Sniff Stickers Still Made?
Absolutely — and they’re better, stronger, and more creative than ever.
And if you want to experience that nostalgia (or introduce it to your classroom or kids), Dr. Stinky's has the wildest variety of scratch and sniff sticker scents available today.
