Back in the day, labels didn’t automatically stick. You either had to use a glue pot to apply the label, or moisten the pre-applied dry glue with water first. In 1935, R. Stanton (“Stan”) Avery changed all that. His vision for an easy-to-use self-adhesive label came to market with the commercial introduction of Kum-Kleen labels, and the modern label was born. Stan Avery’s pioneering spirit has grown to be Avery Products Corporation, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of self-adhesive labels, labeling software, binders, dividers and other products, for organizing and making lives easier at home, work and school. We offer innovative solutions, including free templates and designs through Avery Design & Print software to customize and print projects online, offline and from your tablet.
