Smith Corona - 4'' x 6'' Direct Thermal Labels, 475 Labels Per Roll, 180 Rolls, Made in The USA, 85500 Labels Total, for 1" Core Printers (180 Rolls) - Zebra Compatible

Excellent quality labels at an unbelievable price. I have a Rollo Thermal Printer, and these labels work perfectly with it. The printing comes out nice and bold (actually a little bolder than other labels I've used). The labels themselves have a nice weight and thickness (does not feel flimsy and cheap). My only issue with these labels are the perforations! I have gone through a whole roll and not one label teared on the perforations! It's almost as if there are no perforations at all. Other than this issue (and the first few labels on all the rolls being unusable maybe due to heat from shipping?) these labels are an excellent value!

Initially we were hesitant on ordering these labels because the price seemed to good to be true. Other than being intrigued by the price, we were intrigued on the quantity of labels per roll (475). The increased quantity, means changing the roll less often and allows for space saving in the closets. We are pleased with the overall quality. The first few labels on each roll were unusable, we think because of the heat during shipping. Otherwise, everything was A-OK!

Work as advised

The labels print just fine. The main issue with rolled labels is that when you separate them, they do tend to curl, especially near the end of the roll. I much prefer fan-fold labels especially if you have to match labels with invoices for shipping, it can get a bit like chasing kittens all over your desk when you have 75-100 curled labels rolling around amidst your packing slips or invoices.

You can't beat the price nor quality of this brand. Don't bother looking at anything else and just buy them. However, here are some important tips. I just wish they would have included some kind of insert in the package alerting you and not expecting you to already know it. I surely didn't and this lesson is costing me thousands.1. DO NOT ever use any tape over the labels. It will cause them to fade completely. I learned this the hard way. 48 hrs after doing this, the label is almost blank. However, you shouldn't be buying any labels nor using them if you have to tape them. The only time you can tape labels is if they are top coated, but they are more expensive and what's the point really?2. This brings me to this tip. Labels are only good for 9-12 months. After that, the adhesive is hit or miss. They may stick just fine to a bubble mailer, but may not stick well to boxes. My labels were about 1.5 yrs old and I started noticing the corners were popping up when I was dropping them off. That should have been my sign. Just imagine how packages are handled, if it comes off, it would be too easy for it to get stuck onto another package and then get ripped off and there go your goods. I would keep them in a container, protected from light, and in an air-conditioned environment where humidity is controlled. That all will affect how long they last.When it comes to some of the other 1 star reviews, my comment is user error! Yes, if you just have one label to print off, it's hard to get the corner started, but these are not for people printing one label at a time. When you print off a bunch and have removed one, then you just roll the backing paper and just pull it down to pull off the next one. Super easy. I've done hundreds a day with ease. Who cares you lose the first couple labels because they are marred, these are pressure type labels. We are talking about pennies here. Lastly, the people complain about these labels being marred to easily and worried about them not shipping well, wake up! These are not top coated labels. You will get this with every brand, guaranteed. It's how they are made. It's not a big deal.MFG: You should include this information as an insert to try to eliminate as many problems as possible. It would be great if the labels were individually packaged somehow, that way the customer can just store them and they are already protected from light and the environment as much as possible to extend their life. Lastly, I would offer some smaller quantities. You will pay more but unless you are shipping like 300+ packages a month, then even the small 250 ct rolls are too much as they will go bad before you use them up.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend these. The value is good, so I was hopeful. However, the quality is just not useable. The rolls are not individually wrapped. They all arrived with the first few labels in grey - As if they had been exposed to heat. We figured this was no problem. We just took the first 10 or so labels off the roll. That's when the real problems started. We use a Zebra GX430t. This is an expensive printer that produces really sharp prints. With these labels, the prints came out fuzzy. So fuzzy in fact, that our scan gun wouldn't scan them easily. It would take 5-6 tries to get the scan of the tracking number. I wondered if it was my printer so I purchased a whole new set of labels. From the first ones out, they were as sharp as always so I can only assume it was because these Smith Corona labels appeared to have been exposed to heat. The new labels I ordered came individually wrapped in black bags as is customary and there were great. I cannot recommend these, but I can recommend this other brand:12 Rolls 4" x 6" Direct Thermal Printing Blank Shipping Labels for Zebra 2844 Zp-450 Zp-500 Zp-505,250 Labels Per Rollhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWXWLYT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

have found that labels very hard to peel off from backing. 1) Labels are very big and are to close to edge to grab and peel. 2) Labels are hard to peel and stuck to backing making hard to peel and slows speed processing shipments. I'm afraid though the price is good, will not buy again.

When we had to find another supplier for labels for our Zebra 500 printer, I checked with our postage supplier first. No way were we going to pay that price! Then I found these and thought we would try them as they were the best bang for your buck and shipped Prime. We’ve gone through one case and have ordered another! They work fine in the printer, never jam, and stick well to the packages.
