This supplier research profile examines Avery Dennison as a label and packaging materials supplier. It is based on a third-party supplier profile [1] and a company-published consumer packaged goods page [2]. It does not confirm legal registration, a contracting entity, factory ownership, certifications, prices, MOQ, lead times, or India operations.
Company overview
Avery Dennison is presented in the supplied material as a supplier of pressure-sensitive labeling materials and RFID technology for consumer packaged goods and packaging applications [2]. A third-party profile lists Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials at 8080 Norton Pky, Mentor, Ohio 44060, United States, with label.averydennison.com and phone 1-800-282-8379 [1]. The company-published page describes pressure-sensitive labels and RFID solutions and says it draws on nearly a century of material expertise and adhesive science [2]. It also states a portfolio of around 12,600 labeling constructions, circa 200 operating locations in over 50 countries, and 35,000 employees [2].
The third-party profile states that the company invented the first self-adhesive label in 1935 [1]. That historical claim is presented as profile information and was not independently checked. The sources do not establish which legal entity would contract, whether the Mentor address is a manufacturing site, whether products are made in-house or sourced, or whether Avery Dennison serves the Indian market directly. This is an incomplete research draft, not a vendor approval or recommendation.

Products, services, and capabilities
The supplied sources support a materials and technology portfolio, not a full list of manufacturing, printing, converting, or distribution services. The company page describes pressure-sensitive labeling materials and RFID solutions for consumer packaged goods [2]. It also lists packaging challenges the portfolio is intended to address: recycling, reuse and refill, packaging functionality, shelf appeal, supply chain efficiency, and carbon footprint [2]. The third-party profile says the company collaborates with customers, brands, and technical experts and describes a pipeline of label and packaging innovations [1]. Those statements do not establish which services, sites, or commercial terms apply to a given order.
| Offering or process | What the source states | What to confirm for your order |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-sensitive labels | The company page describes versatile pressure-sensitive labeling materials for diverse packaging applications and refers to Avery Dennison as the inventor of the pressure-sensitive label [2]. | Facestock, adhesive, liner, thickness, printability, substrate compatibility, finishing, and order quantity. |
| RFID technology | The company page describes RFID for item-level visibility and product intelligence, inventory accuracy, traceability, and connected experiences [2]. | Inlay or tag format, frequency, encoding, data standard, integration support, and sample testing. |
| Label constructions | The company page states a portfolio of around 12,600 labeling constructions [2]. | Which constructions are available for your region and application, plus MOQ and lead time. |
| Packaging challenge support | The company page lists recycling, reuse and refill, packaging functionality, shelf appeal, supply-chain efficiency, and carbon footprint as challenges the portfolio addresses [2]. | Specific product evidence, test methods, regulatory suitability, and whether claims apply to the exact construction. |
| Collaboration or customization | The company page emphasizes an ability to collaborate, customize, and combine; the third-party profile also mentions collaboration [1][2]. | Whether customization is a formal service, technical support only, or order-specific development. |
| Label and packaging materials | The third-party profile title and text refer to label and packaging materials and solutions [1]. | Product form, whether printing or converting is included, and the supply scope for your site. |
Locations and production scope
The only address in the supplied material is 8080 Norton Pky, Mentor, Ohio 44060, United States [1]. The company page gives a global footprint of circa 200 operating locations in over 50 countries [2]. These are different types of evidence: one is a listed address; the other is a company-level operating count. Neither source identifies which location manufactures label materials, which site handles RFID, or which site would fulfill a buyer order.
Production scope is not provided. The sources do not state whether Avery Dennison manufactures all label constructions in-house, uses contract manufacturers, or supplies through distributors. The profile therefore cannot confirm factory ownership, capacity, machinery, export markets, or an India manufacturing or stocking presence. Buyers should ask for the contracting entity and proposed fulfillment site before relying on location claims.
Order information and quotation preparation
No source-supported price, MOQ, lead time, sample charge, tooling or setup charge, payment term, or delivery destination is provided. The company page’s portfolio size and global footprint do not establish commercial terms for a specific order [2].
Prepare an RFQ that separates the label material from any printing or converting work. Include:
- Application and substrate: product surface, container type, application method, and exposure conditions.
- Label construction: facestock, adhesive, liner, thickness, finish, and any required durability.
- Dimensions and format: die-cut shape, roll or sheet format, core size, wind direction, and packing.
- Print requirements: if printed labels are sought, specify print process, colors, artwork, variable data, and whether printing is in scope.
- Order quantity: initial quantity, repeat volume, and any forecast; ask separately about MOQ.
- Samples: request material samples and, if applicable, printed or converted samples; confirm charges and turnaround.
- Tooling or setup: ask whether dies, plates, setup, or artwork charges apply.
- Delivery: destination, Incoterms, required date, and whether India delivery or local support is available.
- Compliance: request product-specific technical data, safety information, and any certificate scope relevant to the application.
These questions are an inquiry checklist, not evidence that Avery Dennison offers each option or term.
Quality, samples, and certificate information
No sample policy, quality-management process, certificate, issuing body, certificate number, scope, or expiry date is provided in the supplied sources. Certificate status is therefore Not provided / Not checked. The company page’s statements about performance, recycling, and reduced carbon impact are supplier claims about intended packaging benefits, not order-specific certifications or test results [2].
For an order, request product-specific technical data sheets; adhesive and facestock performance data; substrate compatibility testing; samples from the proposed construction; quality inspection criteria; and any claimed certificate with issuer, scope, and validity. If a certificate is supplied, verify it independently and confirm that it covers the exact material and site.
Evidence and information gaps
The evidence base is limited to a third-party supplier profile [1] and a company-published consumer packaged goods page [2]. The third-party profile contains company descriptions, an address, a website, and a phone number; it does not establish legal registration or site ownership. The company page supports the existence of pressure-sensitive label and RFID offerings and company-level figures, but it is not an order-specific product datasheet, price list, or certificate register.
Unresolved points include the legal entity that would contract; whether Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials is a business unit, brand, or profile label; the role of the Mentor, Ohio address; manufacturing and converting locations; in-house versus outsourced production; India availability; MOQ; lead time; pricing; samples; certifications; and quality processes. The sources do not conflict directly, but they do not cover these points. No fraud or unsuitability conclusion should be drawn from missing public information; the profile requires supplier confirmation and, where appropriate, independent certificate checks.
Next steps for a buyer
- Confirm the supplier identity: ask for the legal entity name, registration details, contracting address, and the relationship between the supplied Avery Dennison name and the Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials profile.
- Confirm the relevant business unit and website: verify that the contact route is current and that the product inquiry reaches the label materials or RFID team, not an unrelated division.
- Define the specification: provide substrate, label construction, dimensions, print or converting scope, quantity, and delivery destination. State whether you are buying materials or finished labels.
- Request a comparable quote: ask for price basis, currency, MOQ, lead time, sample cost, tooling or setup charges, Incoterms, and validity period.
- Evaluate samples and evidence: test the proposed construction on your substrate and request product-specific technical and certificate documentation.
- Check fulfillment for India: ask whether the company sells directly, through distributors, or supports delivery to India, and which site would supply the order.
This checklist supports supplier research and quotation preparation; it is not a recommendation to transact.
