Since Company founder R. Stanton Avery first borrowed $100 from his fiancèe to develop the world's first self-adhesive label, Avery Dennison has delivered literally hundreds of innovative products that simplify people's lives – from the self-adhesive postage stamp, power check battery labels, and easy-to-print mailing labels -- to complex industrial products such as RFID labels, wood laminates for car interiors and paint films for car exteriors.

By combining our unique capabilities with promising new ideas, we continue to develop next-generation solutions that set our customers’ products – and Avery Dennison – apart.

If you are a serious inventor and have an idea for a product or technology, then we are interested in talking to you. I encourage you to explore this Innovation section to learn more about the kinds of ideas we're interested in. If you think your idea fits the bill, then complete our Idea Submission form -- full completion of the form tells us that you're serious and have thought through the opportunity, and also allows us to make a good assessment of whether we fit or not. If the form is not fully completed, then it will not be considered. You'll also find that we have an easy process for starting a dialogue regarding whether or not we could and should work together.

I look forward to hearing from you.
