Our History and Values

Avery Dennison began with an innovation that launched an industry. In 1935, a struggling clerk named Stan Avery conceived a smarter way for stores to price their products. Combining used machine parts with a saber saw—and financing it all with a hundred-dollar loan—he created and patented the first self-adhesive, die-cut labeling machine. With Stan Avery’s invention, the pressure-sensitive label industry was born.
