Worked for me, very cute!

m not sure exactly what's causing the problem for some customers and their laser printers, but I have to say that I didn't experience any issues whatsoever. For reference, I followed the exact instructions on the Avery site and used their template, but I'm sure it's more related to brand of printer. I used a Brother (black and white only) laser printer and my labels came out beautifully.

One of the things that's held me back from print jobs like this in the past, is worry about using Microsoft Word and making it the right size, so I was really happy the manufacturer has an online option that guides you perfectly! There's a huge amount of customisation on the Avery website and you can easily find your exact product by putting in the template number (on the packet). I love that they allow as much or as little customisation as you'd like. You can insert your own logo, images etc, or simply choose a pre-designed template and edit the words.

One thing that was a little strange is that the labels showed up slightly differently on my PDF (with more of the branch for the bird), but they printed exactly as shown on the Avery site, rather than the PDF.

Either way, I have no complaints, the labels came out nicely and didn't smudge, even after rubbing vigorously immediately upon leaving the printer. They stick really well and don't fall off. I'll definitely be using these in the future to create 'thank you' stickers or something else useful!

SUMMARY
********************************************
Pros
+ Eco friendly.
+ Worked perfectly (Used a Brother black and white laser printer)
+ Printed exactly as shown.
+ Avery website easy to use and has great pre-loaded designs.
+ Labels stick well.

Cons
- Website requires registration (But I've yet to receive any emails from them so it doesn't bother me.)

I love DIY projects, and part of that includes party planning!

These Kraft paper labels are versatile as far as their neutral and non-white colouration and the types of projects they can be used for.

They are quite sticky, and hold their place without the edges slowly peeling upwards like some other brands of printable labels do.

I easily found a template through the Avery website that allowed me to print the designs I wanted, and in a linear manner. I was able to even customize my required prints on the website, making it a seamless project. The fact that I do not have one more CD ROM disk for the label paper, and that everything is accessible online is definitely a bonus for me.

The first print was not so successful, as I had too much regular paper behind it, causing my Epson printer to not take the label paper when it should of, leading to a slightly crooked print. So lesson learned, have minimal paper behind the label sheet!

The only colours that do not really show up well on this paper are yellow and lighter orange shades. Otherwise, I have not had any issues with colours not transferring over, or the project being wonky due to the online template.

Overall, another superb product from Avery for those of us who enjoy a bit of DIY for our creative projects!
