5. Storage and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Avery mailing seals:
- Store unused sheets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep sheets flat to prevent curling or damage to the adhesive.
- Avoid exposing seals to extreme temperatures or humidity, which can affect adhesive performance.
6. Troubleshooting
- Seals not sticking: Ensure the surface of the mailing is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Apply firm, even pressure when adhering the seal. Check storage conditions to ensure adhesive has not degraded.
- Printing misalignment: Verify that you have selected the correct template (Avery 5247) in the Avery Design & Print Online tool. Confirm that the paper is loaded correctly into your printer according to the instructions on the label sheet and your printer's manual. Run a test print on a plain sheet of paper first to check alignment.
