Accessibility report for avery.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on July 23, 2026.
avery.com does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the accessibility standard written into U.S. and EU law. This automated scan found 10 types of barrier affecting people with disabilities.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside)" — found on 11 elements. In total the scan flagged 22 issues across 10 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.
What needs fixing to meet the standard
An accessibility rule failed on this page.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Some users — particularly those using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or who have low vision or motor disabilities — may have trouble using this part of the page.
How to fix it: Share the technical rule ID with your developer. They can look up the full fix at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe.
Some buttons have no description that screen readers can announce.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Visual users see an icon (a heart, a trash can, an X), but screen-reader users hear only 'button' — they don't know if it'll favorite a post, delete it, or close a dialog. This is a critical accessibility blocker and a top lawsuit driver.
How to fix it: Every button needs a text label. If you can't put text inside the button (icon-only design), in your platform's button settings look for an 'Aria label' or 'Screen reader text' field — fill it with what the button does ('Close', 'Add to cart', 'Open menu').
Some images on this page have no description for screen readers.
WCAG 1.1.1 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Blind and low-vision users rely on screen readers to read pages aloud. When an image has no description, the screen reader either skips it entirely or reads out the file name — useless. Missing alt text is the #2 lawsuit-magnet category.
How to fix it: In your site editor, click each image and look for an 'Alt text' or 'Image description' field. Write a short sentence describing what the image shows or what it links to. For purely decorative images (dividers, background flourishes), enter empty alt text or check a 'decorative' box if the platform offers one.
An iframe (embedded content) has no title.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen readers announce frame titles when entering them. Without one, users hear 'frame' with no context.
How to fix it: If using a third-party embed (YouTube, Vimeo, Stripe), most platforms set the title automatically. If yours doesn't, look for a 'Title' or 'Description' field on the embed block.
An interactive element (link, button) is inside another interactive element.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Keyboard and screen-reader users can't reliably reach the inner element. Common in 'card-as-link' designs where a button sits inside a clickable card.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'avoid putting buttons inside links or links inside buttons; use a single interactive element with internal helpers'.
Some buttons or links are too small to tap reliably on touch screens.
WCAG 2.5.8 (Level AA) Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: WCAG 2.2 requires touch targets to be at least 24×24 pixels. Small targets are a problem for users with hand tremors, large fingers, or motor disabilities. They're also frustrating for everyone.
How to fix it: In your editor, increase padding around small icon buttons. If your developer is involved, ask them to ensure all interactive elements have minimum 24×24 CSS pixels of clickable area.
Heading levels skip — for example, an H2 jumps directly to an H4 with no H3 between them.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by heading levels. Skipped levels suggest missing content and break the page's outline. Confusing for everyone.
How to fix it: In your editor, find the headings that skip levels and either bump them up to the right level (H4 → H3 if no H2 exists between) or insert the missing level. Headings should follow a logical outline like a document outline.
The page tells mobile browsers users can't zoom in.
WCAG 1.4.4 (Level AA) EN 301 549 Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: People with low vision rely on pinch-zoom to read small text. Disabling zoom is a real WCAG failure and a common lawsuit target.
How to fix it: In platform site settings, look for a 'Mobile zoom' or 'Pinch zoom' option and enable it. If your developer added user-scalable=no in a viewport meta tag, ask them to remove it.
Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).
Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by these regions. Content outside any region can be missed when skimming.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'wrap orphaned page content in semantic landmark elements (<main>, <aside>, <nav>) so it's reachable via landmark nav'.
An element is marked as decorative but is also focusable or has a description — contradictory.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen readers handle this inconsistently; some announce it anyway, some don't, leaving users with mixed experiences.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'role=presentation/none cannot coexist with focusability or aria-label'.
