Product Tips for RL987RT

Storage & Handling

• Keep your labels in the original packaging until you're ready for printing.

• Shield your labels from consistent exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
• Store your label rolls flat on their side to prevent damage to the labels and core.
