great quality thick and easy to use! the print quality is perfect

I sell online, so I have many packages going out. Over the years I've tried many brands of shipping labels, trying to find less expensive options that stick well and feed easily thru my printer. Several years ago I finally bit the bullet & went back to these. These SureBlock labels by Avery stick well (better than their "internet" variety) and always feed smoothly thru the printer. They are more expensive, but it's worth it in fewer printer headaches & having to add extra tape to the packages (although I still do add tape to plain brown cardboard boxes, as I've found no labels that stick well to the plain cardboard finish). These stick very well to white or colored finishes.

great for my business and bulk

These are by far our favorite address labels that we have tried. Per label, they are definitely more expensive than some of the other options out there (some of which we have tried and been disappointed by). Here are some reasons why these labels are better: 1) They stick to cardboard boxes better than other labels. We have not had any issues with corners starting to roll up or peel off the packages, and this has been a problem with other labels. 2) The sticky labels are easy to remove from the sheet. The importance of this cannot be under-emphasized. With the rounded corners on these labels, there is a nice place for you to bend/peel the label off, and this makes it much faster to put labels on a lot of boxes. Other labels where the sticky part is edge-to-edge on the sheet are extremely frustrating to use because it is really difficult to separate the label from the backing. 3) There is a perforated seam in the middle of the sheet that allows you to easily separate the two labels that are printed on one sheet. This is really nice because it is faster for me if I can separate all the labels first en masse and then put them all on boxes in one batch. 4) They feed through our printer nicely and do not cause jams.

A few things I wanted to nit-pick: (1) Label is does not have the rounded corners as pictured on the box. (2) It literally is half the size of a letter-size sheet of paper; slightly too large in my opinion. (3) When using USPS Click-n-Ship and printed two priority labels, one of the labels will have the dotted "cut here" line printed on it. Slightly tacky looking and an inconvenience as I'd have to manual cut this part off the label if I didn't want it to show. Other than those issues, a great value for a reputable brand.

Got what I ordered

I have been using this brand/style for over ten years now and I love them. I have been selling vintage vinyl on sites all over the internet since 2004 and it is a shame it took me so long to find this style. It is really useful having the half sheets so you get at least 2 prints per sheet and the TrueBlock that makes the sheet a little thicker really does block out and cover up old labels if you are reusing a gently previously used box or envelope. Unfortunately I picked up a box from Warehouse Deals that was NOT of the TrueBlock variety and I hate them because I was accustomed to heft of the other ones and while I use new LP mailers 99% of the time, I do reuse padded envelopes for shipping CD's, books, and cassette tapes and miss the TrueBlock in those instances.

Unlike the orders for this item I had gotten in the past, and unlike what is pictured here, the corners are no longer rounded, which makes peeling much more of an ordeal if you separate the labels prior to peeling. Also, paper appears thinner. Are you sure this isn't a knockoff?

Avery labels are the best. Amazon advertised "used, but new condition" on a box (presumably a customer return). Sticker indicated that it was "inspected". Not sure what anyone was thinking when they certified a product that was intended for use in a printer with badly distorted/damaged corners. Shameful.
