Launched within the Line app's Sticker Shop, these limited edition Coke stickers are apart of a partnership between Line and [Coca-Cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-onpack-promotion) Europe. The popular social media platform sees much of its user engagement involve use of the popular stickers feature, with estimates of over one billion sent each day by users worldwide.

Given the popularity of the stickers within the Line app, it seems logical for a brand like Coca-Cola Europe to take aim at the platform that is popular with millennials.

Line was initially created as a search and rescue tool following the 2011 Japan earthquake that destroyed the country's communications infrastructure.

Other brands that have collaborated with Line on a collection of stickers include [Disney's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacolas-marvel-universe-packaging) [Pixar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-fruit-waters-mobile) and the NBA.
