"At Avery, we've been looking at Mass Customization for several years. Our focus on Enterprise Lean Sigma has allowed us to develop the expertise in manufacturing to be able to provide custom-made one-off products while still enjoying the benefits of mass production," says James Johnson, Director, Business Development at Avery Dennison Office Products. "Our alliance with Zazzle completes the equation. Zazzle's unique software capabilities, plus their partnerships with leading branded content owners, complement our manufacturing core competencies."
