You can't beat the price nor quality of this brand. Don't bother looking at anything else and just buy them. However, here are some important tips. I just wish they would have included some kind of insert in the package alerting you and not expecting you to already know it. I surely didn't and this lesson is costing me thousands.1. DO NOT ever use any tape over the labels. It will cause them to fade completely. I learned this the hard way. 48 hrs after doing this, the label is almost blank. However, you shouldn't be buying any labels nor using them if you have to tape them. The only time you can tape labels is if they are top coated, but they are more expensive and what's the point really?2. This brings me to this tip. Labels are only good for 9-12 months. After that, the adhesive is hit or miss. They may stick just fine to a bubble mailer, but may not stick well to boxes. My labels were about 1.5 yrs old and I started noticing the corners were popping up when I was dropping them off. That should have been my sign. Just imagine how packages are handled, if it comes off, it would be too easy for it to get stuck onto another package and then get ripped off and there go your goods. I would keep them in a container, protected from light, and in an air-conditioned environment where humidity is controlled. That all will affect how long they last.When it comes to some of the other 1 star reviews, my comment is user error! Yes, if you just have one label to print off, it's hard to get the corner started, but these are not for people printing one label at a time. When you print off a bunch and have removed one, then you just roll the backing paper and just pull it down to pull off the next one. Super easy. I've done hundreds a day with ease. Who cares you lose the first couple labels because they are marred, these are pressure type labels. We are talking about pennies here. Lastly, the people complain about these labels being marred to easily and worried about them not shipping well, wake up! These are not top coated labels. You will get this with every brand, guaranteed. It's how they are made. It's not a big deal.MFG: You should include this information as an insert to try to eliminate as many problems as possible. It would be great if the labels were individually packaged somehow, that way the customer can just store them and they are already protected from light and the environment as much as possible to extend their life. Lastly, I would offer some smaller quantities. You will pay more but unless you are shipping like 300+ packages a month, then even the small 250 ct rolls are too much as they will go bad before you use them up.

We've been using thousands of these each year for six years. As in tens of thousands. They are easy to use, the quality is great, and they are very sticky. Love them.

Work as advised

Excellent quality labels at an unbelievable price. I have a Rollo Thermal Printer, and these labels work perfectly with it. The printing comes out nice and bold (actually a little bolder than other labels I've used). The labels themselves have a nice weight and thickness (does not feel flimsy and cheap). My only issue with these labels are the perforations! I have gone through a whole roll and not one label teared on the perforations! It's almost as if there are no perforations at all. Other than this issue (and the first few labels on all the rolls being unusable maybe due to heat from shipping?) these labels are an excellent value!

This was my first order from this seller. I decided to try one case of these before purchasing a much larger quantity. Good thing I did! We ordered the 12 jumbo roll case. We received 20 small rolls which made the cost higher. Labels will not fan. They have to be rolled up after printing. The labels are also very thin. The adhesion however was good. Will not be ordering again.

We have purchased 3 boxes of 12 rolls each so far from this seller. The first box was great. The first few labels were clean and the last label wouldn't gum up the printer. We wanted a long term label supplier and these were the best value I could find. I started noticing my second purchase the labels were thinner and adhered differently. They worked, but I was bummed that it wasn't consistent. The 3rd box however was full of issues. There are adhesives or tapes of some kind on about the first 10 labels of each roll. So I would pull a few labels through the printer to avoid having labels not print correctly. When it got to about label 7 there was some kind of invisible adhesive on the label causing it to leave a blank line across 3 labels before the labels started printing correctly again. So I have to reprint 6-10 labels every time I put in a new roll. Just barely I got the the last few labels on a roll and the last few labels were no joke taped together with packaging tape. The printer obviously couldn't print over these labels but it still spat them out which makes the printer think they printed successfully. We ship hundreds of shipments each day using ShipStation. It isn't easy to find which labels didn't print, so I have to start the batch all over and waste about 100 labels just to make sure I printed all the correct labels for the day. I am not purchasing any more of this brand or from this seller.

The paper stock used to make this label is too light weight which makes it difficult to peel them off the backing. The printing is not near as dark on this label than on labels we had been using. We use a zebra printer. The service from the seller was great but the Smith Corona brand is a poor quality label.

Initially we were hesitant on ordering these labels because the price seemed to good to be true. Other than being intrigued by the price, we were intrigued on the quantity of labels per roll (475). The increased quantity, means changing the roll less often and allows for space saving in the closets. We are pleased with the overall quality. The first few labels on each roll were unusable, we think because of the heat during shipping. Otherwise, everything was A-OK!
