of $63,350 was paid with respect to securities available for issuance
under a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.
333-120239) filed by Avery Dennison Corporation on November&nbsp;5, 2004.
Pursuant to Rule 457(b) and 457(p), $32,029.30 of prepaid registration
fees is presently available for offset. The $2,139 registration fee
associated with this registration statement is hereby offset against
the prepaid registration fees made in connection with the securities
available for issuance under Registration No.&nbsp;333-120239. Two separate
S-8 registration statements registering shares under (i)&nbsp;the Avery
Dennison Corporation Stock Option and Incentive Plan, Amended and
Restated, and (ii)&nbsp;the Employee Savings Plan, Amended and Restated, have
been filed on the same day as this registration statement and for
purposes of applying the filing fee are deemed to be filed subsequent
to this filing. Since the prepaid registration fees completely offset
the registration fee for this filing, no additional registration fee
is being paid for this filing, and, following this filing, $29,890.30
will remain available for future offset under Registration
No.&nbsp;333-120239 against registration fees that would otherwise be
payable.</TD>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The 2005 Executive Variable Deferred Retirement Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) provides designated management
employees (the &#147;Participants&#148;) with an opportunity to defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation
(including salary and bonuses) and accumulate tax-deferred earnings (or losses) thereon. Each
Participant is an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to his or her own Plan
benefits. Benefits are payable solely from the Company&#146;s general assets, and are subject to the
risk of corporate insolvency. Each Participant&#146;s deferred compensation will be commingled with the
general funds of the Company and may therefore be subject to a lien or security interest of other
creditors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The amount of compensation to be deferred by each Participant is based on elections by the
Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and the obligations of the Company to pay
such deferred compensation (the &#147;Obligations&#148;) will become due on retirement, death or other
termination of employment in the form and on the date or dates determined in accordance with the
Plan. The Obligations will be indexed to one or more investment alternatives chosen by each
Participant from a range of such alternatives, and the amount of the Obligations payable to each
Participant will increase or decrease based on the investment returns of the chosen investment
alternatives. However, no Participant deferrals actually will be invested in any investment
alternative, and as a result the Participants will have no ownership interest in any of such
investment alternatives.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) empowers the Company to
indemnify, subject to the standards set forth therein, any person who is a party to any action in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that the
person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving as such with
respect to another entity at the request of the Company. The DGCL also provides that the Company
may purchase insurance on behalf of any such director, officer, employee or agent. Article&nbsp;VI of
our Bylaws provides that the Company will indemnify any person to whom, and to the fullest extent,
indemnification may be required or permitted under Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. We maintain insurance
covering certain liabilities of our directors and officers. We have also entered into contractual
arrangements with our directors and officers pursuant to which such persons may be entitled to
indemnity from us against certain liabilities arising from the discharge of their duties in such
capacities.

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 of 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.</div>

Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, a registration fee
of $63,350 was paid with respect to securities available for issuance
under a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.
333-120239) filed by Avery Dennison Corporation on November 5, 2004.
Pursuant to Rule 457(b) and 457(p), $32,029.30 of prepaid registration
fees is presently available for offset. The $2,139 registration fee
associated with this registration statement is hereby offset against
the prepaid registration fees made in connection with the securities
available for issuance under Registration No. 333-120239. Two separate
S-8 registration statements registering shares under (i) the Avery
Dennison Corporation Stock Option and Incentive Plan, Amended and
Restated, and (ii) the Employee Savings Plan, Amended and Restated, have
been filed on the same day as this registration statement and for
purposes of applying the filing fee are deemed to be filed subsequent
to this filing. Since the prepaid registration fees completely offset
the registration fee for this filing, no additional registration fee
is being paid for this filing, and, following this filing, $29,890.30
will remain available for future offset under Registration
No. 333-120239 against registration fees that would otherwise be
payable.
(3)
The Deferred Compensation Obligations are unsecured general
obligations of Avery Dennison Corporation to pay deferred compensation
in accordance with the terms of the Registrant's 2005 Executive
Variable Deferred Retirement Plan.
PART I
Item 1. Plan Information
Not required to be filed with this Registration Statement.
Item 2. Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information
Not required to be filed with this Registration Statement.
PART II
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents filed with the SEC by the Company are incorporated as of their respective
dates in this Registration Statement by reference:
a. The
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 2, 2010; and
b. The
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarter ended April 3, 2010.
All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof from the date of filing such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes
such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
The 2005 Executive Variable Deferred Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides designated management
employees (the "Participants") with an opportunity to defer a portion of their pre-tax compensation
(including salary and bonuses) and accumulate tax-deferred earnings (or losses) thereon. Each
Participant is an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to his or her own Plan
benefits. Benefits are payable solely from the Company's general assets, and are subject to the
risk of corporate insolvency. Each Participant's deferred compensation will be commingled with the
general funds of the Company and may therefore be subject to a lien or security interest of other
creditors.
The amount of compensation to be deferred by each Participant is based on elections by the
Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and the obligations of the Company to pay
such deferred compensation (the "Obligations") will become due on retirement, death or other
termination of employment in the form and on the date or dates determined in accordance with the
Plan. The Obligations will be indexed to one or more investment alternatives chosen by each
Participant from a range of such alternatives, and the amount of the Obligations payable to each
Participant will increase or decrease based on the investment returns of the chosen investment
alternatives. However, no Participant deferrals actually will be invested in any investment
alternative, and as a result the Participants will have no ownership interest in any of such
investment alternatives.
2
The Obligations cannot be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participants, except that each Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive
benefits upon the Participant's death.
The total amount of Obligations being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement is
$30,000,000.
The Company may not terminate the Plan. However, the Company reserves the right to amend the Plan,
provided that such amendment does not result in any reduction of a Participant's account balance,
including previous earnings or losses, as of the date of such amendment. Furthermore, the Company
may, in its discretion, but is not obligated to, allow additional deferrals into the Plan.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL") empowers the Company to
indemnify, subject to the standards set forth therein, any person who is a party to any action in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that the
person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving as such with
respect to another entity at the request of the Company. The DGCL also provides that the Company
may purchase insurance on behalf of any such director, officer, employee or agent. Article VI of
our Bylaws provides that the Company will indemnify any person to whom, and to the fullest extent,
indemnification may be required or permitted under Section 145 of the DGCL. We maintain insurance
covering certain liabilities of our directors and officers. We have also entered into contractual
arrangements with our directors and officers pursuant to which such persons may be entitled to
indemnity from us against certain liabilities arising from the discharge of their duties in such
capacities.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits

Retirement Plan, amended and restated (incorporated by reference to

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information in this Registration
Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining 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.
(b)     The 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 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.
(c)     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
Commission 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 of 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.
