For years I've purchased 2x4 labels (brand name Avery) to label U-Haul moving boxes. Once the label was attached to the box they're nearly impossible to remove so when I reuse the box I simply "label" over. In the case of the Staples brand purchased recently nearly every label peeled off the cardboard (with a self-rolling motion) within a few hours of application (in a controlled HVAC environment so let's not blame the humidity). I had to 'fingernail' each label to get them to stick however I've no faith that they will remain affixed to the cardboard. This is one place were Brand Name trumps the Staples brand.

Compared with nme brand and I lliked staples brand a lot better
We give away free bottles of water labeled with the donor's information. Finished labeling in half the time because labels peel off backing easily. We printed on laser printer adhered to bottles and put in ice water to distribute. None faded or came loose. Many thanks for a great product!

I had to print off 125+ labels for envelopes and these worked just fine. Nice that I could save some money over the Avery products.

Review of Staples Shipping Labels
on July 17, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
Generally I am pleased with almost every aspect of shopping with Staples however these labels are not as good quality as the Avery brand and unfortunately when I went into the Staples store near my house they did not have the Avery brand of these particular labels that I needed (2x4.) They only had the Staples brand in the store (I can always order the Avery brand online.) When I went to print them they stuck together ruining my print job and wasting a ton of labels. I do not recommend these at all.
