maybe i didn't understand the article (and it didn't say a whole lot)but i don't think this will include the products we use for graphics (vinyl and lams) it just says office supply division. i think this would be like labels, tapes and other office supplies. maybe going forward it will include other divisions such as graphics

their office supply division includes = dennison division

Dennison division = all vinyl products, including vehicle wraps and other intermediate, and laminate material.

they may have removed it from the dennison before sold, but i'm not sure.

Well, this might be a good thing......

That's the whole reason A V E R Y was being sued.... they stole 3M's recipe for their adhesives and now it will be a legal steal and they can throw their old version crap formulas out..... once and for all.

i thought the dennison division was like store and office products, labels, fasteners for tags and labels, price tags, all those pre-cut/packaged labels. i thought that the vinyls, lams and such where avery graphics division?
either way it's probably a good direction for them to go getting in with 3M but now all the prices will go up 5% every month...haha

"Our industry-leading Pressure-sensitive Materials and Retail Branding and Information Solutions businesses, combined with our strong balance sheet, make us well positioned for profitable growth and increased return of cash to shareholders.”

From the Avery link above. They are retaining the pressure sensitive division, which is the division that would affect us.

Bit of a tangent here, but related...

Why do companies in this day and age not train their reps to understand the intricacies of web communities? Thanks to modern technology and media, we're all cynics. Because of this, you'd be stupid to not get your reps to understand and follow a target community's procedures before going all "company line" with a PR bomb.

Completely infective, and insulting.

Sorry to drop a "PR bomb" on you guys, I didn't mean to insult anyone. There are limits to what the legal department will let me say before the sale is officially closed. You can always reach out to me offline with any questions, yes even warranty ones, ColoradoSigns!

No hard feelings. In the end, we just want to speak with a person, not a voice.

Legal dept. limitations are understandable. Most of us have been at one end or another of an NDA.
