Avery WeatherProof Labels for Laser Printers, 2 x 4 Inch, White, Pack of 100 (15513)

It takes a bit of fiddling to find the right setting for this on my inkjet but I am printing water proof labels myself. If sealed to a dry surface, they hold well, if its damp or wet upon application, the hold is iffy at best. I still use and buy these, they work well for my needs

So far so good.I bought these to label bottles for water quality samples. Right now I use the Avery 2" x 4" shipping labels that are not weatherproof. They work well but we have to tape them to make them waterproof. We use two 2" x 6" tape strips to completely cover the label. This is an added expense and requires more time to prepare the bottles for sampling. I printed up one page of labels (10 individual labels) and put them on our sampling bottles. We use a color xerox laser printer for printing labels as we use color on our labels. I then threw the bottles into a cooler filled with ice and water and left them overnight to simulate how we hold our water samples.I checked the labels the next day and they looked perfect. I rubbed my fingers over the labels to see if the ink or label would rub off and the labels look and felt like they did when I printed them out. The water looks to bead off the label like a vinyl sticker. I left the bottles in the cold water with the labels attached for the weekend and will check them out come Monday. I was very impressed though as I did not expect the labels to work so well as they are described as weatherproof.The only issue I had was the labels arrived with some text on all the labels. It almost looked like a water mark of the Avery logo and some text. Amazon took care of the issue so I can not complain about it but just warn those to look at the labels before printing to see if they have any marks on them and if they do get Amazon to refund the purchase price.I will update soon with my findings and with pictures but so far so good.***UPDATE***The labels survived 72 hours in the water with ease. I pulled the bottles out and while they were still wet I tried rubbing the ink off. I could not get the ink off at all. These are the real deal waterproof labels. I did try to remove the ink so I sprayed the labels with acetone and the ink after a few seconds of spraying started to come off. This was just to test the resistance to a known chemical. If you are using these labels around chemicals be mindful of that. I would say that these are the best labels I have used to date.

Used these on a package for retail stores when we ran out of our custom printed labels. Excellent quality, excellent adhesion, great price relative to the price at OfficeMax. Very pleased.

Fonctionne parfaitement tel qu'indiqué.

We use these on certain stones in a family cemetery. We have QR codes of links to material about prominent family members. We put a bunch in place a couple of years ago and the stickers are still in place with no fading or loss of adhesion. However, the template is a pain to use.
