ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an “automatic shelf” registration statement that we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, using a “shelf” registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units from time to time and in one or more offerings. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and the specific terms of that offering. That prospectus supplement may include a discussion of risk factors or other special considerations that apply to those securities. The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.  If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should rely on the prospectus supplement. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference is accurate or complete for any date other than the date indicated on the cover page of such document.  Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since any such date.

When we refer to “we,” “our” and “us” in this prospectus, we mean Avery Dennison Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise expressly stated. When we refer to “you” or “yours,” we mean the holders of the applicable series of securities.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus involves risks and uncertainties.  You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated herein by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, along with the other information contained in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement, before acquiring any of our securities. If one or more of the events discussed in these risk factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, as well as the value of an investment in our securities, could be materially adversely affected.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the information incorporated herein and therein by reference may contain certain “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding future events, which may or may not occur. Words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “guidance,” “intend,” “intention,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “shall,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or variations thereof and other expressions, which refer to future events and trends, identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, and financial or other business targets, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results, performance or achievements of the Company expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Certain risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and elsewhere in other reports and documents we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein and include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to fluctuations in demand affecting sales to customers; the financial condition and inventory strategies of customers; changes in customer order patterns; worldwide and local economic conditions; fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials; our ability to generate sustained productivity improvement; our ability to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions; impact of competitive products and pricing; loss of significant contracts or customers; collection of receivables from customers; selling prices; business mix shift; changes in tax laws and regulations, and uncertainties associated with interpretations of such laws and regulations; outcome of tax audits; timely development and market acceptance of new products, including sustainable or sustainably-sourced products; investment in development activities and new production facilities; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other risks associated with foreign operations; integration of acquisitions and completion of potential dispositions; timing and amounts of future dividends and share repurchases; customer and supplier concentrations; successful implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation of manufacturing equipment; disruptions in information technology systems; successful installation of new or upgraded information technology systems; volatility of financial markets; impairment of capitalized assets, including goodwill and other intangibles; credit risks; our ability to obtain adequate financing arrangements and maintain access to capital; fluctuations in interest and tax rates; fluctuations in pension, insurance and employee benefit costs; impact of legal and regulatory proceedings, including with respect to environmental, health and safety; changes in governmental laws and regulations; changes in political conditions; impact of epidemiological events on the economy and our customers and suppliers; acts of war, terrorism, and natural disasters; and other factors.

We believe that the most significant risk factors that could affect our financial performance in the near-term include: (1) the impact of economic conditions on underlying demand for our products; (2) competitors’ actions, including pricing, expansion in key markets, and product offerings; and (3) the degree to which higher costs can be offset with productivity measures and/or passed on to customers through selling price increases, without a significant loss of volume.

The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the reports and documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein are made only as of their respective dates, and we assume no duty to update the forward-looking statements to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances, other than as may be required by law.

AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION

We are a recognized industry leader in pressure-sensitive technology and materials, retail branding and information solutions, and identification products for businesses and consumers worldwide. Headquartered in Pasadena, California, we had net sales of $6.0 billion from continuing operations for 2012. Our products include: pressure-sensitive labeling materials; graphics and reflective solutions; retail apparel ticketing and branding systems; radio-frequency identification inlays and tags; and specialty tapes.

Avery Dennison is a Delaware corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 150 North Orange Grove Boulevard, Pasadena, California 91103. Our main telephone number is (626) 304-2000.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES

Our ratios of earnings to fixed charges are as follows for the periods indicated:

(1)            The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, “earnings” consist of income before taxes plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest, less capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense (estimated to be 35%) on operating leases deemed to be a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.

(2)                   We had no preferred stock outstanding for any period presented, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges is the same as the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference dividends.

(3)                   On January 29, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our Office and Consumer Products (“OCP”) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (“DES”) businesses to CCL Industries Inc.  We completed the sale on July 1, 2013.  The results of the OCP and DES businesses were classified as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and excluded from the calculation of the respective ratios of earnings to fixed charges.  For fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, only the results of the OCP business were reclassified as discontinued operations and excluded from the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.  The results of the DES business that were included in income from continuing operations before income taxes were not material to the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

(4)                   For the year ended January 2, 2010, our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $927.5 million. This deficiency primarily resulted from non-cash goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges of $832 million, a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $21 million, and legal settlement costs of $41 million recorded during 2009.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may invest funds not required immediately for those purposes in short-term investment grade securities.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We may issue from time to time, in one or more offerings, the following securities:

·                                          common stock;

·                                          preferred stock;

·                                          depositary shares;

·                                          debt securities;

·                                          warrants to purchase debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares;

·                                          purchase contracts to purchase common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares; and

·                                          units.

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement a description of the common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units that may be offered under this prospectus. The terms of the offering of securities, the initial offering price and the net proceeds to us will be contained in the prospectus supplement, and other offering material, relating to the offer. The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus and any supplement before you invest in any of our securities.

DESCRIPTION OF

COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK

The following description of our common stock and preferred stock is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Therefore, you should read carefully our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the Amended and Restated Certificate, and our bylaws, as amended and restated, copies of which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

General

This prospectus describes certain general terms of our capital stock. For a more detailed description of these securities, we refer you to the applicable provisions of Delaware law and our Amended and Restated Certificate. When we offer to sell a particular series of our preferred stock, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any series of our preferred stock, you must refer to both the prospectus supplement relating to that series and the description of our preferred stock set forth in this prospectus.

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Certificate, our authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. As of August 31, 2013, we had 97,838,300 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Common Stock

Voting Rights

Unless otherwise provided in our Amended and Restated Certificate, in the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, or other applicable law, the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted upon by the stockholders, subject to any preferential rights that our board of directors may grant in connection with the future issuance of preferred stock.  Shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.  If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Amended and Restated Certificate (including the certificate of designations of preferences as to any preferred stock), or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to us or any other applicable law.

Table of Contents

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

Each holder of common stock is entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared on the common stock by our board of directors from funds legally available for distribution. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after we pay all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference on the preferred stock, each holder of common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our remaining assets. The common stock has no subscription, redemption, conversion or preemptive rights. All shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

Under the Amended and Restated Certificate, our board of directors is authorized generally without stockholder approval to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series. Prior to the issuance of shares of each series, the board of directors is required by the DGCL and the Amended and Restated Certificate to adopt resolutions and file a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The certificate of designation fixes for each series the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, including, but not limited to, the following:

·                                          the number of shares constituting each series;

·                                          voting rights;

·                                          rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions);

·                                          dividend rights and rates;

·                                          conversion rights;

·                                          redemption prices; and

·                                          liquidation preferences.

All shares of preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable and not have any preemptive or similar rights. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction that might involve a premium price for holders of the shares or that holders might believe to be in their best interests.

We will set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to the series of preferred stock being offered the specific terms of each series of our preferred stock.

Certain Anti-Takeover Matters

Certain provisions of our organizational documents and the DGCL may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. The provisions described below may also reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited takeover attempt. The summary of the provisions set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate, bylaws and the DGCL.

7

Table of Contents

No Written Consent of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide that stockholders are not entitled to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This provision could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change of control.

No Ability of Stockholders to Call Special Meetings

Our Amended and Restated Certificate and bylaws do not provide stockholders with the right to call a special meeting of stockholders.

Advance Notice Requirements

Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of such stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to the Secretary of Avery Dennison Corporation prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. The notice must contain certain information specified in our bylaws.

Delaware General Corporation Law Section 203

As a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, we are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL which restricts certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (in general, a stockholder owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock) or that stockholder’s affiliates or associates for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder.” The restrictions do not apply if:

·                                          prior to an interested stockholder becoming such, our board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder;

·                                          upon consummation of the transaction in which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, subject to certain exceptions; or

·                                          on or after the date an interested stockholder becomes such, the business combination is both approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders (and not by written consent) by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

Our Amended and Restated Certificate provides for 5,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock, the terms of which may be determined by our board of directors without obtaining stockholder approval.  Undesignated or “blank check” preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and to thereby protect the continuity of our management.

On October 23, 1997, our board of directors adopted a Rights Agreement and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right, or a Right, on each outstanding share of our common stock. The Rights expired on October 31, 2007. We have not yet redesignated the Series A Junior Participating preferred stock underlying the Rights.

Our board of directors has no present intention to introduce additional measures that might have an anti-takeover effect; however, our board of directors expressly reserves the right to introduce these measures in the future, including, for example, by renewing the Rights, if our board determines in the exercise of its fiduciary duties that the adoption of such measure would be in the best interests of our company and stockholders.

Listing Exchange; Transfer Agent and Registrar

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 14.  Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following is an estimate of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby.

(1)                                     Under SEC Rules 456(b) and 457(r), the SEC registration fee will be paid at the time of any particular offering of securities under the registration statement, and is therefore not currently determinable.

(2)                                     These fees are calculated based on the securities offered and the number of issuances and accordingly cannot be estimated at this time.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, permits us to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties. The directors or officers must have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, an action only by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. No indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant officers or directors are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

Article VI of our bylaws provides that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action or suit by us or in our right, by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director, officer, employee, or, while such person is or was a director, officer or employee of us, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by us, against expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

Our bylaws further state that this indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified person may be entitled, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of that person.

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement;

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4) that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and

(5) that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(i) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (i) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (ii) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(j) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act, or the Act, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

Re:            Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Avery Dennison Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Avery Dennison Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), by a Registration Statement on Form S-3, dated September 18, 2013 (the “Registration Statement”), of an indeterminate amount of the Company’s securities to be offered from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 of the Act.  Such securities, together or separately and in one or more series (if applicable), include: (i) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), (iii) depositary shares of the Company (the “Depositary Shares”), (iv) one or more series of the Company’s debt securities (collectively, “Debt Securities”) to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 20, 2007, between the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), as successor trustee to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., (the “Indenture”) and one or more supplemental indentures, officers’ certificates or other appropriate documents of the Company delivered in connection with the issuance of each series of Debt Securities (collectively, the “Supplemental Indentures”), (v) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares (the “Warrants”), (vi) purchase contracts to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares (the “Purchase Contracts”) and (vii) units consisting of a combination of two or more of the above securities (the “Units” and, together with the Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants and Purchase Contracts, the “Securities”).  The Registration Statement includes a form of prospectus (the “Prospectus”) which provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”) in connection with each offering of Securities.

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the Securities.

The Securities may be sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement, placement agency agreement, subscription agreement or other contract, which will be in substantially the form to be filed as an exhibit to a report filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or an amendment to the Registration Statement.  The Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, Purchase Contracts and Units are to be issued in forms to be filed as exhibits to a report filed under the Exchange Act or an amendment to the Registration Statement.

As to all matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied, with your permission, entirely upon written actions by the board of directors of the Company and certificates of certain officers of the Company and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of those certificates and written actions by the board of directors of the Company.

As counsel to the Company, in rendering the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies of such corporate records, agreements, documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

We have assumed:

(i)                                  the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual executing any document;

(ii)                              that any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Registration Statement from time to time will not exceed the maximum authorized number of shares of Common Stock under the current Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as the same may have been amended, minus that number of shares of Common Stock that may have been issued and are outstanding, or are reserved for issuance for other purposes, at such time;

(iii)                          that any shares of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Registration Statement from time to time will not exceed the maximum authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock under the current Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as the same may have been amended, minus that number of shares of Preferred Stock that may have been issued and are outstanding, or are reserved for issuance for other purposes, at such time;

(iv)                          that at least $2,500,000 will be advanced to the Company in payment of the consideration for the Debt Securities;

(v)                              that (1) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Indenture does not, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of any Supplemental Indenture, warrant agreement, deposit agreement, purchase contract, unit agreement or other similar agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of any Securities will not, violate the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or any other applicable laws (excepting the law of the State of New York); and (2) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Indenture does not, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of any Supplemental Indenture, warrant agreement, deposit agreement, purchase contract, unit agreement or other similar agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of any Securities will not, constitute a breach or violation of any agreement or instrument that is binding upon the Company;

(vi)                          that (1) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), (2) the Trustee has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and a Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on a Form T-1 has been filed with the Commission with respect to the Trustee, (3) any Supplemental Indenture will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and, if necessary, will be duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and (4) the Trustee or any future trustee under a Supplemental Indenture will validly exist and have the requisite corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Supplemental Indenture and will be duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and, in the case of a future trustee, a Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on a Form T-1 will be filed with the Commission, in each case, at the time Debt Securities are issued; and

(vii)                      that, at the time of each issuance and sale of Securities, the Company will continue to be validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization with the requisite corporate power and authority to issue and sell such Securities.

This opinion is limited solely to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) as applied by courts located in Delaware and the internal, substantive laws of the State of New York as applied by courts located in New York without regard to choice of law, in each case to the extent that the same may apply to or govern the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement.  We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances arising, or changes of law becoming effective or occurring, after the date hereof on the matters addressed in this opinion.

Each opinion set forth below with respect to enforceability is subject to the following general qualifications:

(a)          the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ or secured parties’ rights and remedies;

(b)                              rights to indemnification and contribution may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles, and exculpatory provisions and waivers of the benefits of statutory provisions may be limited on public policy grounds;

(c)                               general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief and limitation of rights of acceleration, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and

(d)                              we express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of:

i.                                        consents to, or restrictions upon, judicial relief or, except to the extent that such waivers or consents are made enforceable by New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1402 (applied by a New York State court), jurisdiction or venue;

ii.            advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights;

iii.                                waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; and

iv.                                provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty or a forfeiture.

Based on such examination and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.                                    With respect to shares of Common Stock, when both (a) the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly constituted and acting committee thereof (such Board of Directors or committee being hereinafter referred to as the “Board”) has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of the offering of shares of Common Stock and related matters, and (b) certificates representing the shares of Common Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive placement agency, underwriting, subscription or similar agreement approved by the Board, upon payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Common Stock), (ii) upon the exercise of Warrants to purchase Common Stock and payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Common Stock) provided for therein, or (iii) upon conversion or exercise of any other Security, in accordance with the terms of such Security or the instrument governing such Security providing for such conversion or exercise as approved by the Board, for the stated consideration (not less than the par value of the Common Stock), then the shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

2.                                    With respect to any particular series of shares of Preferred Stock, when both (a) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of the shares of Preferred Stock, the terms of the offering thereof, and related matters, including the adoption of a certificate of designation relating to such Preferred Stock conforming to the DGCL (a “Certificate”) and the Certificate has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (b) certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive placement agency, underwriting, subscription or similar agreement approved by the Board, upon payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Preferred Stock), (ii) upon the exercise of Warrants to purchase Preferred Stock and payment of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Preferred Stock) provided for therein, or (iii) upon conversion or exercise of any other Security, in accordance with the terms of such Security or the instrument governing such Security providing for such conversion or exercise as approved by the Board and for the stated consideration (not less than the par value of the Preferred Stock), then the shares of Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

4.                                    With respect to Debt Securities, when (a) the specific terms of a particular series of Debt Securities have been duly established in accordance with the Indenture and any applicable Supplemental Indenture, (b) the Board has taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of such Debt Securities, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters, and (c) such Debt Securities have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and any applicable Supplemental Indenture, and any applicable definitive placement agency, underwriting, subscription or similar agreement approved by the Board, or upon the exercise of Warrants to purchase Debt Securities, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for therein, such Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and any applicable Supplemental Indenture.

In rendering this opinion, we are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth therein, and no opinion shall be inferred as to any other matter or matters. This opinion is intended solely for use in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities subject to the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose.

Exhibit 12.1

AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

(Dollars in millions)

(1)                                     The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, “earnings” consist of income before taxes plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest, less capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense (estimated to be 35%) on operating leases deemed to be a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.

(2)                   On January 29, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our Office and Consumer Products (“OCP”) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (“DES”) businesses to CCL Industries Inc.  We completed the sale on July 1, 2013.  The results of the OCP and DES businesses were classified as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and excluded from the calculation of the respective ratios of earnings to fixed charges.  For fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, only the results of the OCP business were reclassified as discontinued operations and excluded from the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.  The results of the DES business that were included in income from continuing operations before income taxes were not material to the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

(3)                 For the year ended January 2, 2010, our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $927.5 million. This deficiency primarily resulted from non-cash goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges of $832 million, a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $21 million, and legal settlement costs of $41 million recorded during 2009.
