Pressure sensitive materials
"pressure sensitive materials"? --Abdull 09:46, 17 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I thought they meant some kind of pressure sensors like mats used in intrusiondetection and such; but appraently it means things like self-adhesive labels- press and they stick. RJFJR 15:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Avery produces Stamps, Labels and other Paper products with Glue on them. They also manufacture the adhesive that is used on the formentioned products. Lastly they are well know for producing office products such as Pens and Binders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quinzy (talk • contribs) 19:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Large company
I changed a sentence that read "Avery Dennison is considerably large company" to "Avery Dennison is considered a large company", but I'm not sure what it was supposed to mean; perhaps simply "Avery Dennison is a large company"? --Leviel 17:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * In business, there are some generally accepted definitions of the terms "small", "medium" and "large" with respect to company size, mainly having to do with the number of employees, not their revenue. In the United States, small companies have fewer than 500 employees.  The size ranges of medium and large companies vary by country and by circumstance, and are imprecisely defined. — QuicksilverT @ 18:58, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

product
I have been a customer of Avery for many years. I can't load anything because I've lost the disc drive. I need to down load from your service and I would also like a disc in case my pc crashes. I wish I could explain it better but I'm 85. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JGATTO1 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Advertisement tag
This article cites no sources and contains language which would be better suited to ad copy than to an encyclopedia. If the company were not so clearly relevant under WP:NOTE (listed in SP500) I'd advocate for deletion, but as it is a ground-up rewrite is definitely necessary. 134.174.21.154 (talk) 19:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

History
The Avery Dennison story began in 1935 when Ray Stanton (“Stan”) Avery invented the world’s first self-adhesive label as a way to merchandise objects. The first Avery labels were simple, round-price stickers. Stan Avery chose "Kum Kleen Products" as his original company name to advertise the ability of a self-adhesive label to be removed without leaving a mark.

H. Russell Smith, a college friend of Avery's, joined the company in 1946 as a one-third owner and for nearly 40 years was Avery's partner in entrepreneurship, serving at various times as the company's president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board. Smith incorporated the 50-person company in 1946 as Avery Adhesive Label Corporation and in 1948, built its first-owned factory in Monrovia, California. The new 17,000 sq. ft. plant allowed Avery to consolidate manufacturing and shipping in one place.

Avery continued to expand the company by building a plant for the new materials division in Painesville, Ohio. The division was initially named the Avery Paper Company. In 1954, it was incorporated as Fasson.

In 1958, the company name was changed to Avery Adhesive Products after Avery’s board dissolved the separate Fasson Company and integrated it into the parent corporation. The company changed its name again in 1964 to Avery Products Corporation to account for its entry into new, non-adhesive areas.

Avery obtained a listing on the New York Stock Exchange in 1969. Stan Avery and Russ Smith joined the president of the New York Stock Exchange to watch as the company's symbol appeared on the electronic board of the NYSE for the first time.

With annual sales at $300 million, Avery Products was recognized in 1974 by its inclusion on the Fortune list of the 500 largest U.S. industrial corporations.

The company was renamed Avery International in 1976. Saul Bass designed the rounded triangle-shaped logo mark for Avery International, which has since been adapted to reflect the company's current name.

In 1982, Avery International created a separate division for office products such as binders, file labels and name badges. The division and its products, sold under the Avery brand and logo, contrasted with the company's more extensive materials division in that its products were finished ("converted") materials, and they were aimed at consumers as well as businesses.

In 1990, Avery Dennison was created by the strategic merger of Avery International and Dennison Manufacturing.

The Dennison Manufacturing Company was founded by Andrew Dennison and his son Aaron Lufkin Dennison, residents of Brunswick, Maine, in 1844, as a jewelry- and watch-box manufacturing company. Five years later, Aaron turned the Dennison Manufacturing Company over to his younger brother, Eliphalet Whorf Dennison, who took over and developed the company into an industrial enterprise.

Expansion
Please remove existing Operations, Divisions and Patent infringement topics, and add a new topic named Expansion with the following information:

Avery Dennison acquired Paxar in 2007 and became the world’s largest producer of branding and information solutions for the retail apparel industry.

Over the last 30 years, the Avery Office Products division grew as personal computing created a market for printable media both at home and at work. However, with the rise of email and the decline in conventional mail, the office products market as a whole began to decline. On July 1, 2013, Avery Dennison completed the sale of Office and Consumer Products and a second business, Designed and Engineered Solutions, to CCL Industries to focus on materials and solutions businesses. CCL purchased the Avery office products brand along with the business.

In 2016, Avery Dennison acquired the European business of Mactac, in addition to Ink Mill Corporation, a U.S.-based business, combining Ink Mill's digital ink capabilities and technology with Avery Dennison's reflective media portfolio. Avery Dennison also made a strategic investment in PragmatIC, a world leader in flexible electronics, to accelerate the mass deployment of intelligent packaging.

In 2017, Avery Dennison acquired Finesse Medical, an Ireland-based company that brought new products and manufacturing capabilities in the high-value healthcare materials business; Hanita Coatings, a pressure-sensitive materials manufacturer of specialty films and laminates; and Yongle Tape Company Ltd., a manufacturer of specialty tapes and related products. Avery Dennison also spurred the growth of Wrapify with capital investment, opening an opportunity to expand the car wrap industry and create a new revenue stream for installers.

In 2019, Avery Dennison joined Wiliot’s original investor group for a $30 Million Series B funding round, anticipating a future where paper-thin, battery-free Bluetooth sensors connect people with packaging and products.

In 2020, Avery Dennison acquired the RFID transponder business from Smartrac, a leading innovator in the development and manufacturing of RFID inlays. The company also invested in Roadrunner Recycling to launch a label matrix recycling program to enable label converters to meet zero-waste-to-landfill goals.

The following year, in 2021, Avery Dennison launched atma.io, a digital product cloud to connect physical and digital worlds by creating, assigning, and managing unique digital IDs for everyday items. The same year, Avery Dennison also acquired ACPO Ltd, a leader in the manufacture of self-wound (linerless) pressure-sensitive overlaminate products in North America; Vestcom, a market-leading provider of pricing and branded labeling solutions for the retail shelf edge; JDC Solutions, U.S.-based manufacturer of pressure-sensitive specialty tapes; and ZippyYum, a California-based startup that develops and sells software and hardware solutions for operational automation and inventory management for food retailers.

In 2022, Avery Dennison acquired Catchpoint Ltd’s IP for the dispensing of linerless labels, advancing the availability of linerless labeling in the market; Rietveld, a leading full-service provider of embellishment solutions and application and printing methods for performance brands and team sports in Europe; and TexTrace, a technology developer that specializes in custom-made woven and knitted RFID products which can be sewn onto or integrated into garments.

Most recently, in 2023, Avery Dennison announced an investment in Circ for textile-to-textile recycling, aligned with the company's sustainability and circularity goals. In addition, Avery Dennison acquired Thermopatch, a leader in labeling, embellishments, and transfers for the sports, industrial laundry, workwear and hospitality industries, as well as Lion Brothers, a leading designer and manufacturer of apparel brand embellishments.
