Operating

Once your labels are designed and your printer is ready, proceed with printing and application.

1. Print Labels: Print a test sheet on plain paper first to check alignment. Once satisfied, print on the Avery label sheets. The Sure Feed technology is designed to provide a reliable feed through your inkjet printer, reducing misprints.
2. Peel Labels: Utilize the Easy Peel with Pop-up Edge feature. Gently bend the label sheet along the perforations to expose the edges of the labels, making them easier to peel.
3. Apply Labels: Carefully peel each label and apply it to your desired surface. The permanent adhesive ensures secure attachment to various materials, including envelopes, cardboard, plastic, metal, and glass.
