The History of Avery Products
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. We've created some of the most popular office supplies in existence, like the original highlighter, gluestick and "hello my name is" stickers. Today, we offer hundreds of products, like pens, markers, binders, dividers, tabs, cards, tags, a wide variety of labels, and free templates for organizing and making lives easier at home, work and school.
