We had a project that needed a large number of labels and usually use Avery but they are a bit expensive. So we decided to look on line for something that was the same size and found the staples brand at a much lower price. The project was a rush job so we had one of our employees scout around Avery stores and buy as many as they could at each store. We were taking a chance that they would be a good qualitily for our needs. We were pleasantly surprised that they were exactly as the Avery's we use to buy. Now this item is a staple for our supply list. We are happy because we have a lot of projects that require a number of labels and we will be saving money from now on which makes the boss and accounting happy! Thanks!!!
I'm not sure about this particular product...The first package seemed to dry out and start to peel before they had all been used. I purchased another pack from a different store and so far so good...
I have been using these address labels (and other Staples labels) as a cost effective alternative to the name brands - and honestly there is no difference! The quality of the Staples brand is equal to more expensive brands. I own a small home based business so I use these labels for work and for personal use. I will be honest here - my penmanship is terrible! Using labels that can be printed off has eliminated the issue if "Address Does Not Exist" postal returns due to my terrible handwriting. The labels are quick easy and look great. For return address labels I like to design my business labels to match my business cards. In terms of look my logo font and colors on labels now have more synergy with the rest of my graphics & mailings. I can also easily create fun labels with clip art or graphics for home use with holiday cards birthday cards or whatever-love that! One of my favorite things is how easy it is to merge a mialing list either in Word or Excel. I can literally print hundreds of labels that look professional in minutes. (The package contains easy step by step instructions.) The other great thing about this particular size is how many ways you can use the labels. Either by creating your own template by adding clip art or searching the web for templates - there are literally hundreds of things you can use them for. Word even has an easy to use format that allows you to resize graphics pick a font color position and more! Here are just a few reasons why I love to use these labels everywhere! -Custom Return Labels -Mail Merge Labels -Label for frozen soup or other food with name/date on the container before I freeze it -Custom fun gift bag labels for clients and friends -Custom labels for equiptment that I use outside of the office -Inventory Management IDs -Gift Tags/Name Tags any kind of tag! -Crafts with the kids -Cheaper and easier to use than canning labels Why should you buy them? They are a cost effective time efficient way to customize anything you need labeled. And they NEVER get stuck in my printer. I can't say that for the expensive brands!!
