The Avery Dennison Core Series™ Portfolio is designed to make it easy for our customers to do business with Avery Dennison and respond promptly to their customers’ application needs. The portfolio features the full breadth of the Avery Dennison Performance Tapes pressure-sensitive adhesive technologies in a variety of tape constructions that have been selected to address the majority of our industrial customers’ laminating and bonding needs. The North American Core Series™ Portfolio features 44 adhesive tape constructions coming from 11 pressure-sensitive adhesive technologies from general purpose rubber to silicone. To enable the quick and simple selection of the most suitable tapes from this range, Avery Dennison has developed a tape selection tool app. The Avery Dennison Core Series™ Tape Selector App makes it easy to find the adhesive best suited for your application. By following four simple steps, you will be able to quickly define product recommendations for your application. The Tape Selector App also simplifies the process of obtaining the technical information on the selected products and requesting samples for application development. The Core Series™ Tape Selector App also helps to educate converter customer-facing teams by obtaining the key information needed to determine the best adhesive and thus to quickly and effectively quote for the next bonding or lamination request. Avery Dennison Performance Tapes has a wide range of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes and if you’re unable to find a solution using the Tape Selector App, you can easily access additional support on the app for further information.
