Avery Dennison to Distribute Polysack Films

PASADENA, Calif. and NEGEV, Israel—Avery Dennison announced that its Roll Materials division has entered into a collaboration agreement with Polysack Plastic Industries Ltd. to exclusively distribute and sell Polysack’s Polyphane™ Fit roll-fed shrink films in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. The deal is the first distribution arrangement Avery Dennison has established with another label material supplier.

Polysack has developed a range of products with a shrink ratio from 15 percent up to 50 percent that can be applied to traditional roll-fed labeling using hot-melt or UV glue and technologies such as laser and ultrasonic welding. Avery Dennison will provide sales, distribution, marketing, and customer support for Polysack’s roll-fed shrink.

“Polysack is a respected leader with a significant presence in the roll-fed shrink market worldwide,” said Don Nolan, group vice president for Avery Dennison Roll Materials. “Polysack’s focus on innovation and quality complements the distribution network and marketing strength of Avery Dennison.”

“Establishing distribution agreements with key marketing partners in international markets is an essential step in supporting our globalization strategy,” said Ofer Tsimchi, Polysack chairman. “Avery Dennison’s customer base, product knowledge, and sales and marketing expertise will allow us to penetrate the growing shrinkable labels market in North America. Longer term, we will look to partner and grow with Avery Dennison by sharing technology and developing new products together.”
