4. Care and Storage
To maintain the quality and adhesive properties of your Avery Flexible Name Badge Labels, proper care and storage are recommended.

5. Troubleshooting
While Avery Flexible Name Badge Labels are designed for reliable performance, here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
