With a legacy in high-performance adhesive manufacturing, Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials is using its expertise to help speed label selection with dozens of label and packaging solutions designed to weather the great outdoors. From flexible packaging solutions to prime films, synthetic tag materials and outdoor overlaminates, the company is making it easier for converters and brand owners to maximize opportunity in the growing outdoor products market.
According to a recent report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., the global market for outdoor appliances and power tools is forecast to reach 118 million units by 2020, driven by the trend toward outdoor living and the ensuing rise in demand for tools and accessories in outdoor living, landscaping and gardening.
