Maintenance and Care

Avery Easy Align Durable Self-Laminating ID Labels are designed for long-lasting performance. Once applied and laminated, they are:

• Water Resistant: The laminated surface protects the printed information from moisture and spills.

• Tear Resistant: The durable construction helps prevent tearing and damage from regular handling.

No special maintenance is required for the labels themselves once applied. For cleaning, gently wipe the laminated surface with a damp cloth if necessary.
