Is this the best choice for ink adherence?

The OL1102CX (Clear Matte Labels for Laser Printing) are intended for use in a laser printer. The ink in a laser printer is referred to as toner. I will assume you are planning to use a laser printer that is toner based to print on to the labels since you are asking about the OL1102CX which is a product intended for laser printing. If you use the appropriate media type settings found in the printer settings when printing onto the labels, you should get good toner fusion on the material. We recommend the "Labels" or "Transparency" media type setting when printing onto these labels for best toner fusion. Lip balm is often subject to a lot of handling so it is good to do some testing to see how your printer performs with material. We are happy to send you a few sample sheets for testing if you would like to fill out our sample request form at: https://www.onlinelabels.com/samples

I have used waterproof labels on my laser printer, to only find out that with repeated in and out of pocket lip balms - the laser text rubbed off! I don't want white if I use a clear tube. Inkjet didn't print clearly. What would be the best material, or am I better off having them pre-printed?

It sounds like the print is rubbing off due to poor toner fusion. Adjusting the media or paper type setting within your printer options to something like Labels, Cardstock, or Transparency should result in improved print quality and help fuse the toner into the material. Just make sure you are using laser compatible material like our Weatherproof Polyester for Laser (LP). To resolve print quality issues using an inkjet printer, make sure that you are using inkjet material and adjust the media/paper type setting to a Photo or Glossy option.

What is the actual dimension of the label not including the tab? I want to make sure these are the right size for my needs before ordering them. I thought I was ordering the correct labels last week (OL2162WG) since the dimensions were the same as OL421WG. Unfortunately they were not and now I have to pay shipping (3x what I was charged) to send them back.

I apologize for the confusion. The OL2162 is for slim line lip balm tubes whereas the OL421 is recommended for standard size lip balm tubes that are 0.15 oz. The dimensions of the OL1102 without the tab are 1.8125" in height and 2.125" in width which is commonly used on 0.15 oz lip balm tubes. You are welcome to visit the link below to request samples of the OL1102WG to test with your application.

Does this smudge easily when it comes into contact with oils or moisture/water? I would prefer a clear label over the weatherproof one simply Bc I don't want a white background for my labels but if the clear matte ink jet smudges or runs then I'd rather have the weatherproof one. Thanks!

The Clear Matte for Inkjet is not resistant to water or oils but some customers have used Krylon's Preserve It! for added protection. However, I would recommend samples for testing this overcoat spray on the Clear Matte for Inkjet. Although we do not offer any materials that are specifically oil resistant, our Clear Gloss and Clear Matte for Laser are very durable, moisture resistant, and have been successfully used by customers with oil-based products. You are welcome to request free samples of any of these materials by visiting the link below. https://www.onlinelabels.com/samples

Is the "lip" on the label perforated?

Yes, the OL1102 does have a perforation below the tamper evident tab. If you'd like to try samples of this product, you are welcome to visit the link below to request a few sheets at no cost. https://www.onlinelabels.com/samples

Lip balm labels

I usually print my own labels, but continued to struggle with the lip balm labels…so I decided to try having Online Labels print some for me. They arrived quickly and the adherent ability is superior!
