Saul the Sticker Ball (StickerGiant lobby)
Saul is a 231-pound Guinness World Record-holding ball built from over 171,000 stickers, named after Saul Goodman and started on National Sticker Day 2016, that lives in the StickerGiant lobby where visitors can add their own sticker to its ever-growing surface. It's a genuinely absurd and cheerful piece of roadside Americana tucked inside a working sticker company in Longmont.
The story
You didn't hear it from us, but most corporate team-building exercises end in awkward icebreakers; StickerGiant decided to chase a Guinness World Record instead. On January 13, 2016—the inaugural National Sticker Day, timed to honor pressure-sensitive label pioneer R. Stanton Avery—the Longmont custom printing company unveiled a massive, sphere-shaped wad of self-adhesive vinyl. Guinness rules were notoriously strict: no interior foam core, no structural wire frame, no heat-fusing, and no extra adhesives allowed. Every single ounce had to come strictly from commercially produced stickers stuck directly to other stickers.
To prove it, company founder John Fischer and his staff logged 171,466 individual stickers over more than a hundred hours of hand-layering. On weigh-in day at Longmont's Wibby Brewing, a licensed land surveyor and independent witnesses verified that the sphere tipped the scales at 231 pounds and 9.6 ounces, beating the minimum Guinness requirement by over 11 pounds. Originally nicknamed 'SG' for StickerGiant, the sphere quickly picked up the moniker Saul—a nod to Breaking Bad counselor Saul Goodman—and even launched a tongue-in-cheek presidential bid under the slogan 'Stick Together.'
Today, Saul lives on a cart inside the front lobby at StickerGiant's facility on Weaver Park Road. Because visitors are actively encouraged to slap their own labels onto his surface, the sphere is a living, expanding record that gets a fraction of an ounce heavier with every passerby who stops in.
What it's like
You'll find Saul resting on a heavy-duty cart right inside the glass lobby doors of an otherwise unremarkable light-industrial office park northeast of downtown Longmont. There is no velvet rope or ticket counter—you are walking directly into a working print shop headquarters during weekday business hours. Grab a free vinyl decal from the lobby collection (or peel off one you brought in your pocket), press it firmly onto Saul's dense outer layer, and take a photo beside a 230-plus-pound ball of adhesive paper. Doors are strictly locked on weekends and hours follow weekday corporate shifts, so save your visit for a daytime window before heading downtown.
The move: Stop by the StickerGiant lobby during business hours to see Saul in person, grab a free sticker from the company's collection, and press your own contribution onto the record-breaking ball — then browse their sticker wall and pick out a custom sticker to commemorate the visit.
📍 Before you go StickerGiant is a working sticker-printing company in an office and light-industrial park on Weaver Park Rd, northeast of downtown Longmont — not a museum, so Saul sits in their lobby and you're a guest in a real workplace. Visits run during weekday business hours only; it's closed weekends, and hours shift seasonally, so check ahead before driving out. There's free parking in the lot out front, and walking in to see the ball and add a sticker is free — just be courteous to staff who are working. Pair it with downtown Longmont a few minutes away: breweries, cideries, and a walkable, mural-dotted main street.
