The Wonderful World Of Address Labels

Ever wonder where address labels come from? Avery? is perhaps one of the most well-known manufacturers of address labels. Rightly so in some respects. Avery? contributed much to the world of professional labels. Stan Avery, founder of the company started the company in 1935. During that time the company, named Kum-Kleen Products, produced self-adhesive labels for many purposes.

Within a few years, Mr. Avery realized just how popular and useful self-adhesive labels were to the average consumer. He started mass printing industrial labels. You know, the kind used by manufacturers to label their products. Eventually he teamed up with Dennison Manufacturing Company. The two companies merged to become Avery-Dennison, and began producing various styles and forms of address labels.

While Avery? is often considered the gold standard, there are literally hundreds of companies that produce address labels today. While Avery? produces primarily templates for customers to print their labels on, there are now manufacturers willing to do everything for you under the sun. Most provide classy, inexpensive labels for business and personal use year round.
