Staples brand is just as good or better than brand name. Would not use any other brand. I use it for shipping and printing out postage . It is important that it does not fade or easily come off.
They came with a handy printout so that you could compare your template and make sure everything would fit. I found the template within Word was easy enough and had my labels done with Mail Merge in less than 5 minutes. Our labels were dead simple so I can't really speak to anything fancier than black font addresses. But for our use it was perfect!
We purchased these labels to use for our holiday mailing list which has slowly grown to almost 300 families and friends. As a traditional Avery label user I decided to see how the Staples brand labels performed against the competition. I was very pleased with the results. The alignment sheet provided allowed me to fine-tune the label printing until it was centered exactly the way I wanted to allowing five lines of text for those international labels that require the extra information. The labels peeled off the sheets with ease and fed through multiple times with no difficulty or loss of labels. Finally the adhesive is just as strong as the Avery brand - no chance of losing them in the mail. All in all I was very pleased.
