Adinkra symbols form part of the socio-cultural and economic lives of the Akan people where they have unique meanings. They are  at various times, are used to transmit messages, offer advice and serve a lot more purposes on different occasions. Thus, they bear wider socio-cultural, economic and spiritual significance.

They will be found on other Akan artifacts like stools, chieftaincy paraphernalia and emblems of various purposes. Their use is now more widespread.

Kwaku Nsia, Pinkyehen and Kwadwo Appiah are the three men believed to have been the first to print the Adinkra fabric in Ashanti. They first made their dyes in smaller containers and used cocoyam and cassava (both starchy root crops) stamps. A man called Kwadwo Anane introduced carved calabash (made from dried out wild-growing gourd)  Adinkra stamps and this has since worked well.
