Avery Dennison is a global provider of labeling and packaging materials and solutions. Avery Dennison's businesses include the production of pressure-sensitive materials and a variety of tickets, tags, labels and other converted products. Some pressure-sensitive materials are sold to label printers and converters that "convert" the materials into labels and other products through embossing, printing, stamping and die-cutting. Some are sold in converted form as tapes and reflective sheeting. Avery Dennison also manufactures and sells a variety of other converted products and items not involving pressure-sensitive components, such as fasteners, tickets, tags, radio-frequency identification inlays and tags, and imprinting equipment and related services, which are marketed to retailers and apparel manufacturers and brand owners. Avery Dennison was incorporated in 1935 and is based in Mentor, Ohio.
