The inventor of the low-tack adhesive used on Post-it notes was 3M chemist Spencer Silver. Fellow 3M colleague Art Fry actually came up with the idea of using the adhesive on the back of a piece of paper, originally as a bookmark. He wrote notes on the bookmarks during development, and that helped to expand the uses of the product. 3M Post-it Notes were introduced in 1980.
The Post-it® Note was invented as a solution without a problem: Dr. Spencer Silver developed a unique, repositionable adhesive, but the 3M scientist didn't know what to do with his discovery. Then, six years later, a colleague of Dr. Silver, Art Fry, remembered the light adhesive when he was daydreaming about a bookmark that would stay put in his church hymnal. The rest is history
Post-it notes were invented by a man named Spencer Silver while trying to develop a strong adhesive in 1970. The adhesive he developed was weaker than those that were already on the market. It stuck to objects and paper, yet was easy to lift off, without leaving any residue. He knew it wasn't good for his intentional purpose, yet for some reason, he kept it.
Four years later an acquaintance of his, Arthur Fry, kept having diffuculty keeping his notes in his hymnal while singing in the church choir. That was when he got the idea to use Silver's adhesive on paper.
In 1980 Post-it notes were made commercially available to the public, and are now one of the most popular office products available.

At the 3M company a research scientist working on adhesives discovered one that did not work very well. An internal trial on paper samples was put aside as a failure but the discarded samples were used for scrap paper. The scientist pitched management to try marketing the paper with weak adhesive as a note saver and after much effort won approval. It became one of 3M's biggest sellers. 3M deserves credit for supporting internal entrepreneurship. BAT-NIGGAHH MY PENIS

=It was made By using glue for the sticky part and little scrap paper for the thing that sticks out=

Art Fry invented Post-It notes using the adhesive designed by Spencer Silver. They were both workers of 3M.
Arthur Fry first launched the post-it note in 1977 but it failed. Then, a year later, he began giving out free samples in Idaho and 90% of people said they would buy the product. By 1980 they were being sold nationwide across America and in 1981 they were launched in Canada and Europe.
he invented the post- it note in 1974. by 1980 the product was introduced to the world. he invented the notes because his paper book marks repitively fell out. sooooo...he created them:))
The post-it note was invented by the two American scientists Arthur Fry and Spencer Silver in 1974.
In 1968 the glue was invented (accidentally) and putting it with the paper was in 1974
Silver invented Post-It Notes. He was trained as a chemist.
