Advantages: Some products are very good. Disadvantages: Others a waste of space.
Avery Dennison have been producing top quality paper products for a long time, and whilst their self adhesive range of products are second to none, they made the mistake of heading to take over the market for computer products, such as pre-cut card for Birthday cards, businesscards, cd covers, etc., and in many ways have failed the consumer.
