Avery® Announces New Collection of AveryPRO™
Pressure-Sensitive Stock for Dry Toner Digital Presses
Avery Products Corporation, the leading manufacturer of printable labels and cards, announced today the expansion of its
AveryPRO line of professional-grade pre die-cut and full-sheet
label stock for dry toner digital presses. Professional printers
and graphic designers can now purchase new unique pressuresensitive substrates, including the luxurious Soft Touch™ and a
durable polyester film with permanent adhesive.

"What makes Simple Grip so special is that, unlike typical window
clings, graphics can be illuminated with artificial light or natural sunlight to create really eye-catching displays," says Shaun
Jaycox, LexJet product specialist. "We're extremely excited that
SGIA has recognized this innovative, industry-changing product."
The competition judged submissions across 19 categories
for output devices and 29 categories for non-output devices.
Conducted during the 2016 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, Sept. 14-16,
2016), this year's event was one of the most challenging in
recent history. For more information, visit www.lexjet.com.

Exclusive to AveryPRO, the beautiful Soft Touch substrate offers
an understated elegance that transforms a basic label application into a touchable experience. Its addition to the collection
complements the recent success of the Soft Touch label stock
that AveryPRO introduced for HP Indigo presses earlier this year.
Along with branding premium products like soaps, candies and
cosmetics, this satiny label stock is ideal for adding an elegant
finish to any item. The Soft Touch coating - which eliminates
the need for post-production finishes and speeds up the printing
process, while reducing costs and increasing profitability - is
the first of its kind in the pressure-sensitive market.
The new white durable polyester film is optimized to withstand
tough environments and conditions. It's tough and flexible,
as well as hot and cold temperature resistant. It's perfect for
branding and identification, serial numbers, industrial labeling, outdoor products and food and beverage items. The longlasting permanent adhesive is also FDA compliant for indirect
food contact.
