Avery Dennison unveils Embelex™, a full-service on product branding ecosystem for the global apparel and footwear market
Date : April 6, 2022 Share this on social
Embelex provides a range of apparel embellishment products and services to fashion, footwear and apparel brands, sporting organizations, teams, and more Embelex pushes the boundaries of apparel customization and personalization The recent acquisition of Rietveld (RTVPRINT), a woven and heat transfer label production facility for embellishment services, places Embelex in a strong position for growth
Mentor, OH — April 6, 2022 — Avery Dennison (NYSE:AVY), a global leader in innovation and materials science, branding, and manufacturing, today announced the launch of Embelex™. A full-service ecosystem for on-product branding, Embelex supports customization, personalization, and smart solutions in the apparel, footwear, and accessories manufacturing markets. Avery Dennison is a global supplier of on-product branding and supporting technology, helping bring brands, much-loved institutions, and sports teams to life through heat transfers, embroidery, patches, and badges. The company recently announced the continuation of its contract to supply Premier League official shirt names, numbers, and sleeve badges for on-pitch and retail. These badges have built-in smart technology that allows users to scan the badge to reveal hidden content on the Premier League app. Now with Embelex, a journey of rapid growth is planned, positioning Avery Dennison as a leader in the supply of digitally enabled physical embellishments, as well as the software and manufacturing capability to provide everything a brand or organization needs to celebrate its name, personalize products in its ranges and create digital experiences to connect with consumers through on-garment branding. In the past three years, the size of Avery Dennison’s on-product branding business has doubled due to the demand for its services. New sites have opened - for woven press and heat transfer services - and the company recently acquired Rietveld (RTVPRINT), which is based in the Netherlands and Turkey. Rietveld specializes in in-house designed and manufactured crests, heat transfers, and decorative sublimations, along with embellishment application and the provision of an end-to-end service to the team sportswear market. World-class service, speed of product delivery, and innovations in embellished garments are priorities for Embelex. For instance, digitally-enabled branding elements - such as ‘smart heat transfers,’ allow consumers to scan a label or transfer, using a phone, to access product information that enriches the end-user experience. The custom apparel market is set to accelerate at CAGR of 5.8% by 2025, incremental growth of US$1.13bn, according to industry analysis. Fueling the change is the increasing consumer demand for personalization and hyper-relevance. Global research by Accenture has found that 84% of consumers are interested in personalized products, and many would not hesitate to pay more to get them. Through its own research, Avery Dennison has discovered fashion and sportswear brands want to offer differentiated SKUs – such as personalized prints and applications - to stay relevant and competitive in today’s crowded apparel market. Steve Mason, vice president, and general manager, EMEA & Americas and Embelex lead at Avery Dennison RBIS said, “Speed and scalability are at the heart of the Embelex offer. Brands and organizations want to customize products, but they also want on-demand manufacturing, just-in-time delivery, and as little waste as possible to meet their sustainability credentials. Embelex exceeds these expectations. Our global footprint also enables us to provide world-class service to apparel factories, which in turn enables them to provide world-class value to their customers.” Jeremy Bauer, global commercial director, Embelex at Avery Dennison RBIS said, “Our on-product branding is already seen around the world on some of the biggest names in sports, including English Premier League, Futbol Club Barcelona and Real Madrid. But Embelex reach extends far beyond the pitch, from high fashion brands to high street retailers where leading designers, brands, and apparel suppliers are using decorative elements to bring their designs to life.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Francisco 49ers and Avery Dennison, a global leader in materials science and solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds, today announced an exclusive partnership that will provide the Faithful with new fan engagement avenues via digitally-connected clothing technology. As part of the announcement, Avery Dennison has become the official cutting-edge embellishment partner of the 49ers and will introduce digital connectivity into select 49ers Fanatics merchandise in the form of smart embellishments and digital labels. This deal also marks the first major foray into American Football for Embelex, Avery Dennison’s solution for on-garment branding that provides digitally-connected and sustainable options for personalization. Highlighting both brands’ and their reputations for innovation, members of the Faithful will soon be able to purchase customizable 49ers merchandise and unlock digital content all at the same time. Avery Dennison’s revolutionary smart embellishments and digital labeling technology can be scanned using a smartphone camera, enriching the fan experience and accessing exclusive content unavailable anywhere else online. This innovative merchandise will be exclusive to the 49ers Team Store presented by Visa at Levi’s® Stadium. “No matter where you travel, there’s always a good chance you will see someone wearing 49ers merchandise,” said 49ers VP of corporate partnerships Kevin Hilton. “Avery Dennison will strengthen our already powerful retail business by opening a new world of possibility through technology. We look forward to collaborating on ideas that can serve as a blueprint for global sports franchises seeking ways to interact with their fans in this digital age.” On October 23, 2022, the 49ers will host the Kansas City Chiefs for a Super Bowl LIV rematch at Levi’s Stadium. In celebration on the team’s annual alumni weekend, the 49ers will honor newly inducted Pro Football Hall of Famer and 49ers legend Bryant Young at halftime. Avery Dennison plans to honor Young by digitally enabling a special edition garment that provides exclusive opportunities to those who purchase. “It’s fantastic to see the 49ers surprising and inspiring the Faithful with this cutting-edge clothing technology. Digitally-connected teamwear is a fantastic way to engage with fans, giving them dynamic ways to learn, share on social media, and interact with the teams they love. A new era of digital fan engagement is emerging, and sports wear provides the perfect gateway to build ongoing dialogue with fans beyond the stadium,” said Michael Barton, senior vice president and general manager, Apparel Solutions, RBIS, Avery Dennison. “We’ve been supplying Embelex to some of the biggest names in sports for over 20 years, including the English Premier League and Major League Soccer,” continued Barton. “From national teams, to major tournaments, to fanwear, we are highly tuned to the sports sector, supporting both big franchises and grassroots communities.” A second line of digitally-connected merchandise will be released later this season. Avery Dennison will also open an Embelex personalization station inside the 49ers Team Store in 2023. Avery Dennison is the first new 49ers partner whose rights extend to the UK, one of the team’s international home marketing areas (IHMA). Both brands will maintain a constant focus on growing the Faithful abroad through new retail experiences. The 49ers obtained marketing rights in the U.K. and Mexico last December as part of the NFL’s IHMA program.

Avery Dennison Named "Official Embellishment Partner" of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Date : Nov 9, 2022 Share this on social
Cleveland, OH — November 9, 2022 — The Cleveland Cavaliers and Avery Dennison (NYSE:AVY), a global leader in materials science and solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds, today announced a new partnership that makes the Mentor, Ohio-based Fortune 500 company the “Official Embellishment Partner” of the NBA team. The announcement comes on the heels of the expansion of Embelex™, Avery Dennison’s suite of solutions for on-garment branding for the global team sports market. They produce digitally-connected embellishments as well as names and numbers for the world’s biggest clubs and leagues including the English Premier League, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid. Avery Dennison also recently announced their partnership as the cutting-edge embellishment partner of the San Francisco 49ers. The partnership with the Cavs represents their first foray into the NBA, while contributing to the community that Avery Dennison, and so many of its employees, call home. As a signature element of the partnership, the Avery Dennison logo will appear on the upper right chest of the players’ shooting shirts and warm-up jackets. For the Cavs, this marks the first time in franchise history that a partner logo has been featured on these team garments. The logos were produced and applied by Avery Dennison themselves from their Miamisburg, Ohio production location. This is also the location where they produce Embelex for sporting events and international tournaments, including the World Cup to local community events. Avery Dennison employs over 2500 people strong across manufacturing, corporate, sales, and marketing in Ohio. Their commitment to global DE&I initiatives is also evident through the many employee resource groups (ERGs) across the organization, including the LGBTQIA+ group, UNITE, which recently supported the 8th Annual Stonewall National Tournament and Summit held here in Cleveland last summer. Avery Dennison will also have a presence throughout the Cavs community platforms during the 2022-23 season, including Women’s History Night, the annual Black Heritage Celebration, and the upcoming Cavs Employee Resource Group Summit. “Our partnership with the Cleveland Cavaliers embodies our commitment to serving as a force for good in the communities where we operate,” said Michael Barton, senior vice president and general manager, Apparel Solutions, RBIS, Avery Dennison. “In addition to providing the Cavs with innovative Embelex solutions, we are proud to jointly support important DE&I initiatives that celebrate the culturally-inclusive fabric that is at the heart of the city of Cleveland,” he added. The partnership continues Avery Dennison’s trailblazing innovations in fan engagement through teamwear. Their digitally-connected on-garment branding technology, Embelex, enables sports teams and brands to continue engaging with fans in new and exciting ways off the playing field. The Cavs will now be part of this journey to give their loyal fans the opportunity for on-site apparel customization and personalization during home games. Matt O’Brien, Cavalier senior vice president of global partnerships, adds, “We’re excited to add Avery Dennison, another global company with Northeast Ohio roots, to our family of partners. This agreement is tied together by threads of innovation, hometown love and goodwill in our community. The organic connection that comes with teaming up with a local company like Avery Dennison is real, and it adds a unique layer of pride as we activate this partnership through our global platform.” To explore more about Embelex™, click here

US soccer fans had chance to enjoy a weekend of live-streamed fixtures, win one of 500 limited edition jerseys and rub shoulders with title-winning greats, Alan Shearer and Gary Cahill, at Premier League Mornings Live.
● Avery Dennison, official partner to the Premier League, provides support at the 8th Premier League Mornings Live event in Orlando, Florida. ● US soccer fans have chance to watch live-streamed games, meet former league champions and win special merchandise. ● Avery Dennison creates 500 limited edition jerseys for the event, showcasing its suite of on-product branding and embellishment solutions, Embelex. Avery Dennison was proud to support the Premier League at its eighth Premier League Mornings Live fan festival, hosted in Orlando, Florida on January 21st and 22nd, 2032. The event was an opportunity for US-based soccer fans and those traveling in the States to enjoy a free weekend of live-streamed fixtures, with a lucky few getting to meet special guests including former league title winners Alan Shearer and Gary Cahill. At the fun-filled weekend, supporters could enjoy exclusive screenings of matches and share the experience with other loyal fans of a sport that is rapidly growing in popularity. Before this year’s event, more than 50,000 US fans had attended Premier League Mornings Live, and with top tier teams such as Arsenal & Manchester United and Liverpool & Chelsea battling it out this time around, that figure will undoubtedly have shot up significantly. This year’s cohort travelled to Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando resort to take part in the action. As a partner of the highly prestigious Premier League, Avery Dennison is the official embellishment provider for kit names and numbers and was thrilled to be involved. The team made 500 specially designed limited-edition jerseys that could be won by spinning a prize wheel. 300 caps were also up for grabs. Having attended previous events in Austin, Miami, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, this was the fifth Premier League Mornings Live jersey that the Avery Dennison team has designed and produced – and arguably the best yet.

AVERY DENNISON REVEALS NEW PREMIER LEAGUE NAMES AND NUMBERS FOR SEASON 23/24
Date : Mar 14, 2023 Share this on social
The Premier League's official names, numbers and sleeve badges supplier, Avery Dennison, has revealed the newly designed font and embellishments which will feature on next season's Premier League shirts.
Avery Dennison (NYSE:AVY), a global materials science and digital identification solutions company, has partnered with the Premier League on the new font, which is only the fourth ever redesign in Premier League history. An increase in the number height and the integration of the Premier League's unique graphic pattern ensures the new font has increased visibility and more impact both on and off the pitch. The new names, numbers and sleeve badges will be available from spring onwards, following the launch of each Premier League club's kits for the 2023/24 season. Avery Dennison, the official names, numbers and sleeve badges supplier to the Premier League since 2019, documented the story behind the font change in a video, which includes on-pitch testing involving Premier League commentators, Martin Tyler, Jim Proudfoot and Joe Speight, at Brentford FC's Gtech Community Stadium. "The beauty of the Premier League is that it creates era-defining names and numbers. It is very rare that the design itself changes, so it is an honor for the team at Avery Dennison to have been part of that process," said Simon Allen, EU aftermarket commercial director, Apparel Solutions, Avery Dennison. "The ask was for the new design to be an evolution rather than a revolution. With many components to be considered, such as legibility, durability and readability, we also needed to keep sight of the Premier League branding. Through everything, we wanted to ensure that what we put on the pitch keeps the fans in the stadium and watching at home at the heart of it." Will Brass, chief commercial officer, Premier League, said, "We wanted to work closely with Avery Dennison, using their expertise and experience to create new names and numbers which were not only clearer for those watching matches in stadiums or at home, but which also incorporated the Premier League brand more readily." “The names and numbers have become part of the fabric of the Premier League. For fans, having the name and number of a favorite player, their own name or even a personal message helps to bring them closer to the competition and their favorite clubs," he continued.

Avery Dennison, the official names, numbers and sleeve badges supplier to the Premier League since 2019, documented the story behind the font change in a video, which includes on-pitch testing involving Premier League commentators, Martin Tyler, Jim Proudfoot and Joe Speight, at Brentford FC's Gtech Community Stadium. "The beauty of the Premier League is that it creates era-defining names and numbers. It is very rare that the design itself changes, so it is an honor for the team at Avery Dennison to have been part of that process," said Simon Allen, EU aftermarket commercial director, Apparel Solutions, Avery Dennison. "The ask was for the new design to be an evolution rather than a revolution. With many components to be considered, such as legibility, durability and readability, we also needed to keep sight of the Premier League branding. Through everything, we wanted to ensure that what we put on the pitch keeps the fans in the stadium and watching at home at the heart of it." Will Brass, chief commercial officer, Premier League, said, "We wanted to work closely with Avery Dennison, using their expertise and experience to create new names and numbers which were not only clearer for those watching matches in stadiums or at home, but which also incorporated the Premier League brand more readily." “The names and numbers have become part of the fabric of the Premier League. For fans, having the name and number of a favorite player, their own name or even a personal message helps to bring them closer to the competition and their favorite clubs," he continued. In addition to the name and number change, the Premier League sleeve badge has been redesigned for the upcoming season to a stand-alone iconic Premier League lion. This design will be replicated in gold for the "Champions" badge worn by the season's winning team. With Avery Dennison's sustainability credentials at the forefront of the manufacturing process, the names, numbers and sleeve badges are produced at its factory in Western Norway, powered by renewable energy from a nearby glacier. With printing and robotics technology in place to reduce waste, the Premier League embellishments are printed on a thin and digital layer, using a high-tech computer to determine the placement of the transfers and ensure the best utilization of the sheet, ensuring minimal waste.

Inter Miami and (re)boot Enter Enhanced Partnership, Committed to Uniting Athletes and Fans to Eliminate Waste in the Fútbol Industry Long Term
Date : Nov 14, 2023 Share this on social
MIAMI (Nov. 14, 2023) — As part of Inter Miami CF’s commitment to harnessing the power of fútbol to do good, the Club today announced the enhanced partnership with innovative brand (re)boot with the goal of uniting athletes and fans to eliminate waste in the fútbol industry. Founded by Gabriella Mas, (re)boot has been at the forefront of tackling the waste crisis in the fútbol industry by up-cycling and recycling worn fútbol equipment to extend the life of sportswear beyond the game. (re)boot is designed to build a community that bridges the sport industry and the circular economy, and is leveraging industry-leader Avery Dennison's Digital Solutions to achieve this goal. Following the success and positive impact of its inaugural collection in March 2023, which featured reconstructed training tops and game-worn kits by the Inter Miami CF First Team, (re)boot is unveiling its highly-anticipated first retail collection, (re)boot x ROW_____Z, in collaboration with Inter Miami. The 50-piece jersey collection is made up of one-of-one (re)boot sourced jerseys from Inter Miami CF’s equipment room over the last two seasons, including a mix of player-worn match jerseys, training tops, goalie jerseys, and residual stock. A limited number of pieces from the (re)boot x ROW_____Z collection will first be available for purchase at 10 a.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 20 at (re)boot.futbol. "Our partnership with (re)boot holds a special place within our Club, as it seamlessly aligns with our core mission of harnessing the power of fútbol to do good. It also bolsters our ongoing commitment to promoting recycled materials and sustainability. We take great pride in continuing to unite with (re)boot for this transformative initiative that leaves a lasting, positive impact on our planet,” said Mike Ridley, Inter Miami CF SVP of Brand and Marketing, who led Inter Miami CF’s One Planet initiative. “We are thrilled to be bringing to life our first retail collection for Inter Miami’s fans, in collaboration with ROW_____Z and MLS. In the last six months, Inter Miami has quickly established itself as a reference point for fútbol globally, and we are incredibly proud to stand alongside the club in our joint mission to use fútbol as a driving force to address the mounting waste crisis worldwide,” said Mas. For the first retail collection, (re)boot teamed up with another game changing brand in sustainability, ROW_____Z. The London-based brand was founded by Daegen Eppey and Tom Ellis in 2021 with a mission to bring football threads into the everyday wardrobe. ROW_____Z specialize in reworking old, damaged product into new, bespoke garments that speak to both football and fashion fans alike. The company is known for reinvigorating the obsolete, creating expressive sportswear through creative and innovative pattern-cutting, suitable for both the players on the pitch and the fans in the stands. “Our process begins through deconstructing the initial damaged garment, intricately removing the badge panel and recognising a complimentary color-way. The top is then built out from the badge, in an almost mathematical, puzzle formation. Our priority lies with ensuring as much of the initial shirt is utilized as possible,” said ROW_____Z Founder, Tom Ellis. “Working with Inter Miami’s iconic jerseys on this project was a match made in heaven, combining their iconic pink with a mix of Away, Training and ‘One Planet’ tops from a variety of seasons. Creating a collection of one-of-one pieces, each with its own unique history,” Ellis added. For their newest and most innovative collection to date, (re)boot is also partnering with Avery Dennison, a global materials science and digital identification solutions company, in order to elevate the technological features included in the jerseys and provide an even more powerful garment to fans. Avery Dennison will supply jock tag labels on each jersey, incorporating Near Field Communication (NFC) technology that tells a distinctive brand story and offers an interactive digital experience for fans via their mobile devices. As a key component of the relationship, Avery Dennison will provide (re)boot with their network of recyclers. “Reducing professional sports textile waste is (re)boot’s excellent game plan. By producing jerseys that have been repurposed from club discarded apparel, and then digitizing them with Avery Dennison’s Digital ID technology, powered by atma.io connected product cloud. This will transform these individual garments into unique data points, and provide the jersey owners with access to storytelling that will educate, add interest, and promote recycling,” said Mike Colarossi, vice president, innovation, product line management and sustainability, Apparel Solutions, Avery Dennison. “When users scan the digital label on the garment, they will be able to discover details about the sourcing of the pieces from Inter Miami’s equipment room, the jersey’s composition and material, and background information about (re)boot. Down the line, these unique digital triggers on garments will be used by industrial textile recyclers to further open the circularity loop and divert textiles from landfill,” Colarossi continued. The collection comes on the heels of (re)boot being announced as an official national licensee for Major League Soccer and Fanatics. This not only reaffirms their unwavering commitment to sustainability but also solidifies their long-term relationship that will extend beyond Inter Miami CF, encompassing other MLS teams and league-wide initiatives in the future. Key highlights of the upcoming (re)boot x ROW_____Z collection include: ● The new collection is comprised of a unique 50-piece jersey collection for fans, upcycled by designers ROW_____Z, based in London (Led by Tom Ellis and Daegan Eppey). ● Each jersey is one-of-one (re)boot sourced jerseys from Inter Miami CF equipment room over the last two seasons, a mix of player worn match jerseys, training tops, goalie jerseys, and residual stock. ● The new (re)boot x ROW_____Z collection will feature jock tag labels by Avery Dennison. Each label features an NFC chip, telling a unique story behind the brand, as well as a digital experience for fans on their phones. ● A limited number of pieces from the latest collection will first be available for purchase exclusively online at (re)boot.futbol beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 20 ● This collection marks the first club-league-wide initiative to empower circularity and reduce textile waste in both the sports and fashion industry.

The commemorative patch from Levi’s® and Avery Dennison celebrates ten seasons of the 49ers in Levi’s Stadium®. Embedded into the embroidered patch via AD TexTraceTM Heat Seal LoG is an NFC chip that unlocks a special "Thank You, Season Ticket Holders" video message from General Manager John Lynch featuring highlights from the past ten seasons.
