About
Avery Dennison states it "design[s] and develop[s] labeling and functional materials, radio frequency identification (RFID) inlays and tags, software applications that connect the physical and digital and offerings that enhance branded packaging", serving industries including pharmaceuticals. Its Label and Packaging Materials business offers a Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Collection covering ethical and OTC pharmaceutical labels, tamper-evident and anti-counterfeit security labels, cryogenic and laboratory labels, low-mandrel labels for small-diameter containers, low-migration labels and blood and plasma bag labels. It also supplies medical and healthcare adhesive materials (wearables, surgical, wound care, ostomy) and vacuum insulation panels for temperature-controlled pharmaceutical cold chain logistics.
Deterministic scores · rules-based, not AIiHow these scores are obtained: each one is computed from this profile's listed attributes — capability checkboxes, certifications, capacity figures and coverage — by a fixed formula, recomputed on every page load. Deterministic and rules-based means the score comes from a fixed, transparent formula over listed attributes — the same inputs always produce the same score. It is not AI: there is no model, no learning, and no hidden weighting. Whether a score is relevant to you depends on your specific project: a capability that raises the number may not matter for your work, and a niche strength your project needs may barely move it. Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Capability iCounts how many of the 25 packaging capabilities this profile lists (8 secondary packaging, 6 labeling, 6 serialization, 5 tamper evidence) - each adds 3 points, capped at 72 - plus 3 points per therapeutic area covered, capped at 28. Levels: 80+ Full-service | 60-79 Broad capability | 40-59 Established | below 40 Niche. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
9Niche
Serialization iEach of the 6 serialization capabilities listed adds 10 points (up to 60), with bonuses of 8 for aggregation services and 12 for EPCIS data exchange. Listing DSCSA in regulatory compliance adds 10, FMD adds 8, and a serialization or track-and-trace entry adds 4. Levels: 80+ Track-&-trace leader | 60-79 Advanced | 40-59 Developing | below 40 Foundational. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Foundational
Regulatory iAdds 7 points per regulatory framework listed (up to 7 count, 49 points) and 6 points per geographic region covered, capped at 24. GMP compliance adds 10, GDP compliance adds 9, and Annex 1 awareness adds 8. Levels: 80+ Global compliance | 60-79 Multi-market | 40-59 Regional | below 40 Limited. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
18Limited

Shows Not reported (score 0) when neither annual capacity nor line count is provided. Levels: 80+ Industrial scale | 60-79 High capacity | 40-59 Mid-scale | below 40 Boutique. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Not reported
Quality iRewards on-time delivery (up to 34 points at 100 percent), shorter lead times (18 points at 10 days or less, down to 2 above 35), low deviation rates (up to 14), few CAPAs (up to 8), and few audit findings (up to 8), plus 9 each for GMP and GDP compliance. Shows Not reported (score 0) when neither on-time delivery nor lead time is provided. Levels: 80+ Exceptional | 60-79 Strong | 40-59 Solid | below 40 Developing. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Not reported
Technology iAdds 5 points per packaging technology listed, capped at 45, plus 6 points for each of the 5 tamper-evidence capabilities. Authentication technology and anti-diversion systems each add a further 8, and validation support adds 9. Levels: 80+ Cutting-edge | 60-79 Advanced | 40-59 Developing | below 40 Foundational. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
