Avery Dennison Corporation Company Profile

Avery Dennison is easy to label: It's a global leader in the making of adhesive labels used on packaging, mailers, and other items. Pressure-sensitive adhesives and materials account for more than half of its sales. Under the Avery Dennison and Fasson brands, it makes papers, films, and foils coated with adhesive and sold in rolls to printers.  Perhaps its most widely used products are the self-adhesive stamps used by the US Postal Service since 1974. The company also makes retail branding and security tags, printer systems, and fasteners. In 2011 it agreed to sell its Office and Consumer Products segment to 3M for $550 million. The segment makes school and office products (Avery, Marks-A-Lot, HI-LITER).
