India-based ALPS, the Association of Label Printers & Suppliers, has joined with Avery Dennison in announcing “World Label Day.”  

Put aside to salute innovation and leadership in the label industry, February 3, 2019, will be a day to celebrate industry milestones and successes, ALPS says. 

Accorinding to the association: “Only one name comes to any of our minds when we think of pressure sensitive Labels, and that is R. Stanton Avery, famously known as The Sticker Man. His name is synonymous with the words ‘innovation and leadership’ as he pioneered self-adhesive labeling technology and opened gates to new avenues of technology. There is no better way to commemorate him, other than to lay down the foundation of World Label day on his birthday – January, 13.”
