Question 1

I am getting ready to print on the OL5125LP labels. Do you have any recommendations on printer settings? I am going to Staples. They have laser printing there. I will be putting these labels on jars, dropper bottles and spray bottles and need them 100% weatherproof. Thank you!

Accepted Answer

For printing on our Weatherproof Polyester Laser (LP), we recommend using Labels, Cardstock, or Transparency for the paper type, as well as a manual feed paper tray. Both settings should prevent any feeding issues, and the specialty paper type will help fuse the toner to the material for a durable print.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

We offer free templates and software if you wish to design and print your own labels. I have included a link below to the template options for the OL5125.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The OL5125 template has a 0.5" top and bottom margin and 0.25" side margins. Depending on your printer's printable area, you should be able to print to the edge of the labels.

I need to print with the label being 1" across and 2" long.  Is that possible with these sheets?

Yes, you can rotate your design when using any of our templates so it is 1" in width and 2" in height. When using Maestro Label Designer, you can either rotate your design with the Rotate tool at the top toolbar or go to the View menu and choose Rotate Label View.

Question 9

I purchased these labels for my 6 ounce tin candles. They are not adhering to the tin very well and keep lifting. Any recommendations to help secure them? I really want to make them work.

Accepted Answer

We apologize for the adhesive issues you’re experiencing. Our Brown Kraft (BK) has a permanent adhesive that works well on most surfaces. However, there is a wide range of factors that can contribute to how well a label adheres to the surface it’s being applied to so we’ve included some recommendations below.

-It’s important to ensure that the surface is clean and free of any debris, dust or moisture before attempting to apply your label.

-Applying the center of the label first, and then continuing to apply pressure outward will ensure a nice, even application that should promote better adhesion.

-Be careful when handling the label before application. Oil from your fingers can negatively affect the strength of the adhesive - try to hold the labels by the edge and touch the adhesive as little as possible.

-Remember, our labels are pressure sensitive, so be sure to use some force when applying them to your surface or container.

If you’ve followed the suggestions listed above and are still experiencing issues please feel free to send us a support ticket at the link below with details on the surface and method of application. One of our Customer Support Representatives will be happy to assist you.

Question 10

this says inkjet!!! so why is my ink smearing/running

Accepted Answer

We apologize for the issue you have experienced. Smearing can generally be resolved by adjusting the paper type setting within your printer options. Changing the paper type setting to a Photo or Glossy option should resolve the issue.
