It depends on the material and writing instrument. Permanent-style markers (such as Sharpies®) work on most of the materials we offer. Other writing instruments like ballpoint or felt-tip pens should only be used on our paper-based materials. These materials include our white matt, standard colours, fluorescents, and brown Kraft.
Rather than issue exchanges, we offer a money back guarantee on all of our products. We will issue a credit for any returned product and bill for any new product being shipped out.
At your convenience, place a new order for your desired product. You'll be billed for the new product and credited for the returned product when it arrives back at our facility. These will be handled as separate transactions.
We don't recommend feeding a label sheet through a laser printer more than once. The heat from the printing process can cause the adhesive to soften or the sheet to curl. Softened adhesive can ooze inside the printer or cause the label to peel off. It can also soften the toner which can make the printed design smudge.
Yes, we have a variety of waterproof / weatherproof labels available for desktop laser and inkjet printers as well as thermal transfer, direct thermal, and inkjet roll printers.
Our removable matt white material consists of a low-tack adhesive that is designed for light adhesion. This material is ideal for applications that do not require permanent labels, as it is intended to be removed from most surfaces with relative ease.
Yes. If you'd like to test whether a material will work for your application, we can send you a few sample sheets. Please fill out our sample request form and we'll mail them to you.
There is no minimum order quantity on our standard sheet labels or standard roll labels. Please note that ordering custom quantities may increase your cost per product as it requires special handling and packaging.
If your product is labeled "laser only," it isn't recommended for printing in an inkjet printer. While our "laser only" products likely won't cause damage to an inkjet printer, the ink may not properly dry on the sheet. This can lead to smudging even after an extended drying time.
If your product is labeled "inkjet only," it isn't recommended for printing in a laser printer. In many cases, the facesheet or adhesive on our "inkjet only" products will not withstand the heat of the laser printing process. The high heat levels can cause the facesheet to melt or adhesive to ooze, leading to jamming and printer damage.
The term "die cut" is used to describe the process of cutting shapes from paper and other materials. This process works a lot like a cookie cutter – we place a die cutter on our machines and run it over uncut label paper. The resulting labels have shapes cut into them that correspond to the shape of the die.
This means that the die line is the physical border of your label. You should design your label with the assumption that nothing outside the die line will print or remain on the label once it's peeled up from the sheet. If you want your design to go all the way to the edges of your label (as opposed to it having a white border), consider adding a bleed.
Our clear matt material has a non-shiny, flat finish that looks frosted when applied. Our clear gloss materials for laser and inkjet are shiny and completely transparent. They offer a "no label look" when applied. Read more on the subject in our article, Gloss vs Matt: Choosing the Right Clear Label.
