What People Say
The print quality is perfect; my UPS courier mentioned how easy these are to scan compared to my old labels.
Great value for the price. I’ve gone through 500 labels and haven't had a single paper jam in my 9220 printer.
These labels stick extremely well to my cardboard boxes and don't peel off even in humid weather.
