We use these for both nametags as well as packaging labels. I have not used it for shipping so would not be able to speak to that, but we use it for organizational purposes and it works very nicely. My one con would be the fact that it does come off pretty easily when used as a nametag- it's grip on fabric just is not as good.
I have an unusual use for these. I play board games, and it just happens that Avery name badges are just a tiny bit smaller than a normal playing card. So you can use them to easily create custom cards for "print and play" games, or even flash cards or other educational uses. They work just great in a color laser printer. People think my cards are professional unless they look really closely. Among other things, I use them for a game called "Werewolf", where I create my own custom cards for the game.
I needed to print some name badges for an event, and bought this, hoping to be able to print them from home. Many of the pages had defects large folds. These made many of the badges unusable, and therefore cost me wasted money.
We are able to customize these name tags with our logo which makes us look more professional and prepared. The fact that you can print makes them easily read by everyone. Great product!
