FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - June 1, 2001

Avery Dennison VIP Converted Products will exhibit a new Web-based supply chain management solution called InfoChain Express™ at the Retail Systems 2001 Conference and Exposition, June 25-28, 2001, McCormick Lakeside Center, Chicago, Ill. Avery Dennison VIP Converted Products will occupy Booth 2354. Editors are invited to the booth for a demonstration.

InfoChain Express^®™, which is now being beta-tested by retailers JC Penney and L.L. Bean, seamlessly connects supply chain trading partners including manufacturers, retailers, vendors and freight consolidators. It reduces errors and improves the accuracy of information flowing through the supply chain. The service also enhances packing accuracy and facilitates production of electronic packing lists and advance shipping notices (ASNs). Additionally, users can customize InfoChain Express™ by defining their own parameters and business rules.

The total InfoChain solution includes secure Web-based software, label printers and scanners, label media, and global capabilities such as multi-language and local support. A Scan-and-Pack feature allows manufacturers to download and print UPC price tickets and bar-coded labels, and to pack floor-ready merchandise on site. Downstream from the factory, InfoChain users can track orders and receive updates regarding order status and shipping information in real time.
