Grossly Inferior Product Change?

Avery - WHAT HAPPENED? Did I get the wrong thing? I have used these labels (thousands) over the past 10 years. Purchased from multiple sources. The last batch I bought were different. Instead of having rounded corners with a thin margin to easily peel the label of the backing, the two labels fully fill the backing and getting the label to start peeling without mangling it is now a challenge. You can't fold it at the crease as the perforation doesn't seem to go all the way through, and once you finally get it started if you don't peel delicately, it will rip. In fact, more have ripped than come off intact. Part of the reason I used labels, even at a cost, was for efficiency and to make my packages look professional. These don't. I don't have time to wrestle with a label. This is NOT Avery quality. So disappointed. Is there such a thing as Avery label "dupes"? I'm seriously having a hard time believing this company sells these.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
We are very sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. We understand how disappointing it can be when a product does not perform as expected.
Our Quality Team would like to take a closer look at this issue. Based on your description, it sounds like the perforation may not have been cut properly, which could have made the labels more difficult to peel.
If you could contact us at 800-462-8379 or email us at help@avery.com, we would be happy to gather some information from the packaging that may help our Quality Team better identify and investigate the issue.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and would like the opportunity to make this right for you.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great labels. No waste as you use one half of the sheet and peel off the label and you reuse the same sheet for the other half.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They’re a little bigger than I necessarily needed but with Avery’s templates I’m able to adjust the size & it works perfectly
I've been using Avery products for years now, the products and service is second to none! I especially like the TruBlock shipping labels, there are truly opaque and the hand the best adhesive of any labels I've ever used.
I'm searching for a better label online cause avery seems pretty prevalent in this market space, but the adhesive for these is so bad, I was worried every time I shipped something out, it starts to peel off immediately after application.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
