Feature: The Converter’s Tool - Core Series™ Portfolio Celebrates Five Years

Start 2024 with a refresher about a collection of products and services that have helped deliver success for converters and their customers


Converters serving super-competitive industries such as automotive, aerospace, building and construction, transportation, and general industrial, know speed to quote and product recommendation accuracy are critical. Delivering the right product at the right time is essential for success.

And since 2019, converters across North America have relied on the Avery Dennison Core SeriesTM Portfolio for that speed and accuracy. 

A portfolio designed to make doing business easier

The Core Series is designed to make it easier for you, as a converter, to do business with your customers, deliver more successful projects, and, ultimately, grow your business profitably. 

Derived from our broader portfolio of thousands of products, it’s a more streamlined selection of tape constructions—30, to be exact—that address the vast majority of bonding solutions in the industries you serve. Think “80/20 rule.” The percentages may not be exact, but that’s the idea.

We structured that selection to help you quickly identify a product for your customer’s application. Just answer four questions about elements of the end user’s application, and you’ll know the product you need.

  1. What kind of material will the adhesive be laminated to?

  2. What kind of surface will the end user bond to?

  3. What kind of environmental conditions will the tape construction face during its lifecycle?

  4. What type of tape construction does the end user need?

The tape you need, when you need it
The Core Series is about more than simplifying the selection process. It’s also about making sure you have the tape you need, when you need it, and making it easier for you to work with our products. 

All Core Series products feature instant, volume-based pricing, sample rolls, a dedicated application support call line and email address, one-roll MOQs, four-day lead time, no-charge slitting for 4-inch rolls and above, and a two-year warranty on all products. That speed, ease, instant volume-based pricing and prompt quoting is all designed to help you grow.

Imagine being able to easily turn around accurate quotes to your end users in less than 24 hours. How much of an edge would that give your business? Again, speed and accuracy are critical when working with these super-competitive industries. The Core Series has been helping converters deliver since 2019, and it can help your business in 2024 and beyond.
