I bought these to use for ink transfer prints for my studio art class. Staples used to make this product with a full sheet waxy backing which is the part that is required for this project. I was disappointed that Staples has chosen to split the backing paper into two sections making the product unusable for my purpose. Purchasing this product was an expensive mistake for a teacher on an already limited art budget.
We purchase these all the time as a less expensive alternative to pricey name-brand labels. They work just as well as Avery for a fraction of the price. We use them for report covers and shipping labels and they always look great. They never smear. The blacks are bold and the colors are bright every time.
I don't get why everyone says these are hard to peel? You don't peel them from the top corner the backing is split right across the middle of the sheet. They print well and stick well also. If you slightly bend them in half the backing starts to come off for you. I've marked 1 000 pallets with these very quickly.
Needed 8-1/2x11 full page labels because of unusual sized project. Previously bought Avery full page labels and they were easy to affix because of multiple scorings on backing paper. Staples full page labels were a better price and the label itself appears comparable to the Avery ones BUT there is ONLY 1 SCORE on the back of the labels which makes it very difficult to remove the backing if you've cut the labels to various smaller sizes. Practically impossible to remove the backing if that scored area isn't in the cut label. Even if you're not cutting the full-page label to a smaller size this lack of scoring still would make it difficult to affix the label.
These labels work much better than the "Big Name" labels. They work every time in my laser printer. Never jam or fail. Easy to peel and stick. My new first choice.
