About Plaid

2016 is a very special year for us here at Plaid because it marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of our company in 1976. While Plaid has gone on to become one of the most recognized names in the craft industry, few people know how the company actually got its name. The definition of plaid is a series of intersecting lines that come together to form a pattern. This was David Cunningham’s vision for his new company – a diverse, yet synergistic collection of product lines that would come together to create the most comprehensive set of programs in the craft industry. He chose his family tartan as the logo, and Plaid, as we know it today, was born!

A lot has happened since 1976, but Plaid has remained true to our founder’s vision. Today, Plaid Enterprises has grown to become one of the world’s largest, most diverse manufacturers of creative do-it-yourself products, and the Plaid family of brands is among the most recognized and desired craft products in the world.

As Plaid takes a moment to celebrate our 40th anniversary, we have so many of you to thank – our customers, our partners, and most importantly, the generations of crafters who have trusted Plaid products to bring their inspiration to life. We look back with fondness over the past 40 years, and we couldn’t be more optimistic about what the next 40 will bring! I invite you to follow Plaid on all of our social channels this year as we embark on a year-long celebration of our crafting history and heritage. Thank you for being part of the Plaid story.
