BamBams (PPAI 255565, Gold) started as a sign and label manufacturer in 2001. The following fall, during the MLB playoffs and World Series, the company began selling its now-famous inflatable noisemakers. Looking at the sea of fans waving their inflatable sticks in the stadiums around the country, the company’s leaders knew it had something special. To keep up with demand, manufacturing was moved to China and the business took off.

In July 2023, BamBams acquired supplier Visual Promotions, which added significant production capability and new products to the line.
