You often think of shipping labels being only used for shipping applications. Here is an example that shows it's other uses. We needed a product label that would be used on a industrial product that was often not in the nicest environment (water/dirt/grease/heat etc.). Because each label contained three unique numbers, we could not go to preprinted laminated label. Instead we made a special PDF template that contained the three unique numbers required for each label. As a result we were able to get 8 labels per sheet. The 5526 had the unique properties of being weather proof that met this application perfectly. We could not build our product with out using the 5526. It not only identifies our product but it also makes it look professional in the process. Works perfect!
I only purchase Avery Labels as I have found them to be a reliable product-but I wasn't aware that the #15516 Weatherproof labels would smear if I used an inkjet printer. The ink on the barcodes never dried completely, and smeared even after being covered with clear tape-a complete disaster! I ship using multiple overnite carriers and prefer to manage all my postage/shipping fees online-which includes printing my express labels. The idea of a weatherproof label is great-but it didn't work for me. I also thought they were expensive-but if they work for you then the high cost might not be much of an issue. I'd be willing to try them again if I was using a laser printer-but no way with an inkjet.
I have never found stickers quite as awesome as these. After multiple tests with other sticker stock, this surpassed all others with flying colors. They do not peel up after prolonged use, they do not tear, they are a nice material that has a nice matte feel and look. They look very professional. I would recommend these stickers to anyone, even people I didn't like. Avery has done it again!
My daughter wanted personlized water bottle labels for her reception. Using the weatherproof Avery labels I was able to design a label with their monogram and names. The labels come 2 per sheet so I was able to get 6 of my own labels per sheet. I was looking for some way to waterproof them so the label didn't get soggy while sitting in a tub of ice. The Avery weatherproof label was perfect and everyone thought it was such a nice personalized touch! For me, it was an inexpensive, but elegant addition to the reception!
