Choose Important Label Features to Suit Individual or Business Needs
Labels come with a variety of features that make them simple to use and apply. Pop-up sheets have tabs that lift the corner of each one to seamlessly remove it from the backing. While many have a durable adhesive that's ideal for permanent use, others have a removable formula that suits temporary labeling purposes, such as marking boxes or parts during inventory.
Shoppers can choose from clear, white, kraft or colored labels. Most come on a full sheet that fits through a printer, though some come in smaller formats that are meant for writing on instead of printing. Some brands, like Avery, offer high visibility colors in neon shades that stand out.
They work well for color-coding folders, creating catchy marketing materials or identifying the contents of storage containers. Smudge-proof options eliminate the risk of ink smearing, while clear label protectors safeguard all written or printed ink from spills and the elements.
Mail out Envelopes and Boxes with Shipping Labels
Shipping labels make easy work of addressing boxes, envelopes and mailing cylinders. Choose sheets with multiple stickers on a page or go for half-sheet options to clearly mark larger packages. Colorful sheets increase visibility and draw attention to the packaging. Businesses who use postage meters can buy special adhesive sheets to run through the machine.
Label Specialty Items with Templates
Specialty labels come in a variety of templates such as those for identifying CDs or DVDs. Notarial labels typically have a shiny surface that's ideal for marking certificates and awards, or sealing envelopes and invitations to add a fancy touch.
What Can You Use Full-Sheet Labels For?
Full-sheet pages work well for multiple tasks. You can design your own layout using a graphic or word processing program, and cut them to size before applying, or use paper punches to create fun shapes. Use them to mark large shipping boxes or as part of a crafting endeavor to create specialty products and stickers for customers. It's also possible to design party decorations such as water bottle labels or guest of honor badges.
What Shapes do Labels Come In?
They come in a wide array of shapes including circles, ovals, rectangles and squares. You can choose different sizes as well. Some of the rectangle and square units have rounded corners for a softer appearance. Specialty types come in non-standard shapes including conversation bubbles, frames and star bursts.
Can You Buy Labels in Bulk?
Yes, you can buy them in multiple size packages from single pages to a full case for demanding business needs. Staples has an auto-restock program that automatically delivers products to a home or office to ensure that you never run out. Consider buying a smaller package first to ensure the labels work before buying bulk quantities.
