In October, when Avery Dennison announced the acquisition, it said this was a strategic move aimed to leverage the combined industry expertise, quality, and service capabilities of both Avery Dennison and Silver Crystal Group.

At the time, Michael Barton the senior vice president and general manager of apparel solutions at Avery Dennison, said: “Together, I am confident we will create a force that will continue to develop the embellishment category and deliver for key customers and stakeholders every step of the way.”

The Silver Crystal Group has customised jerseys and apparel for professional sports organisations for over 25 years. Its clientele includes teams from popular leagues such as the US organisation responsible for professional basketball, the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Avery Dennison introduced Digital Product Passports as a Service (DPPaaS) to help brands prepare for European Union Digital Product Passport legislation last month (October).
