I have a label printer that prints 4x6 labels - a standard size label. The cost of these printers starts at around $80 and goes up from there.I thought that you need a label printer to create 4X6 labels, but this obviously isn't the case.My label printer is offline, and a bit of a pain to get started.I got these sheets for printing labels. Getting the label ready for printing involves a bit of technical gymnastics. In my case, I selected print label in my Amazon app - instead of printing, it first generated a page view. This view wouldn't have printed the label where it's supposed to be on the page. I was able to capture an image of the label only. From there, I pasted it into my graphics program (I use Microsoft Paint). I rotated the image 90 degrees, and the printer put the label on the right spot on the paper.In theory, you can do two labels per sheet, but have to take the paper that's been printed, rotate the paper, then put it back into the paper tray. (If you have an external sheet feeder, you'll have to similarly rotate the page before printing.I initially had an issue getting the label separated from the sheet, but folding it in the middle, to pull the label from the middle, was all it takes.There may be some issues:Label printers use thermal paper - liquids won't smear the ink. Too much heat (like in a hot UPS truck could possibly turn the page dark). Printing with an inkjet printer will give a better quality label - but may not do well if it gets wet. Using a laser printer is probably the best approach for printing labels.This paper makes the job easy, once you figure out how to create an image that can be printed.It takes a bit of practice - but YOU should be able to do it.I use these ALL the time. They are perfect for shipping packages. I sell a ton of stuff online and being able to print out two shipping labels at the same time is really convenient. I just cover them with clear packing tape to make sure water doesn’t wash everything away.I've been selling on Etsy for a few years now. Over 1300 orders! I used to print my shipping labels on paper then tape on. These are fantastic for the 2 labels per page setting and save me so much time, make my packages look professional, and keep me organized.Easy to use and save me lot of time to cut and tape. It just stick on!Works great with Pirate Ship’s format of two 4 x 6 labels per page. Easy to apply the labels onto a 6 x 9 or larger envelope.This is exactly what I needed for all my shipping label needs. The adhesive really sticks to the mailing envelopes/polyester bags and the quality of ink is great!10/10 recommend.these have drastically cut down the time I take to ship. Good adhesive and print quality.product is what I wantedThese are great for Canada Post shipping labels. My laser printer works perfect with these labels. They stick great, perfect size for full size labels and easy to use. The only downside I can see if that there is no specific label template for this but I use Photoshop to place on my template I created. Otherwise they are fantastic!Unfortunately, this label comes off the box a few minutes after sticking. You will see the ears lifting up. Not to be used for shipping boxes otherwise you might end up label falling off and losing your shipment. I purchased and started using the product already, but I must make sure that I tape the edges of the label to the box, so it doubles the effort and cost.I will look for another brand next time.Update November 4, 2021:I bought these again to give them a try since they were still cheap. Unfortunately the quality is worse than the previous version. These came slightly less bent at the corners, but are much thinner (very floppy) than the previous, and with a strange waxy back that picks up lint and residue, almost like it is double-sided release paper.--Original review from March 2021: I bought these for printables and making labels at home. They were very cheap so I thought it would be a great way to make stickers for my daughter and for my planner/journal.1. The label papers are smaller than 8.5" width by about 2mm, and longer than 11" by about 1-2mm.2. The labels arrived bent inside the box packaging they were in. The outerbox was fine, as was the amazon box the package shipped in. There is no reason for the papers to be bent, other than maybe they were shrink-wrapped too tight. All 4 corners, of all the papers, were crunched/bent.3. The ink smudges when printing on this paper (inkjet HP envy). Another paper jammed due to the curled edges.4. There is a weird chemical smell from the papers - not huge but may bother some.5. The paper curls on its own, which may or may not be problematic to you based on what you're using it for.If you are using these papers to make stickers at home, it may just do the job if it doesn't jam in your printer and smudges or off-center cuts don't bother you. If you are using these label papers to sell stickers, please don't - your customers won't be happy with curled, smelly, smudgy stickers.I use a HP laser printer basic desktop model. It prints on regular copy paper perfectly always.These labels work, but sometimes it comes out a bit smudged. If you rub it just ever so slightly, the ink comes off. I ran cleaning on my printer, and made sure it prints nicely on regular paper. However, it is still a bit smudged on these labels.Also, sometimes it comes out misaligned. I don’t know if it’s a common thing among these 30up labels from other brands, but I would love it if it can come out aligned and not so easy to smudge.After seeing this had more than 15,000 reviews and almost at 5-star, I was surprised to find out these do not even stick well and come undone on boxes and paper mailers after several minutes. We were lucky at one point because the post office people told us about a package we dropped off that had no label and they remembered us. So the label came off at some point and either we or they didn't notice. Crisis averted because we run a business.It sticks well on plastic though. Only reason I'm giving this two stars and not one is because it's good for the price (I guess) and it sticks fine on plastic mailers. Anyway, we won't be ordering these again.
