If I wait the proper time for the glossy labels to dry, would they still smudge if someone touched the label with wet hands? Thanks!

Despite the fact the software did not work for centering all the labels, the labels I could use were excellent and did not smudge at all when applied to the lids. I allowed for plenty of drying time before handling. I made my labels before I canned my product since it took a little time for me to get just the right look including background color. I am using a HP Photosmart 8450 but too many of the labels were way off center and unusable, particularly as gifts but the one's that were centered were great. If you find all your labels are centered, please tell me how you did it!

Probably. I never liked the glossy finish but Avery didn't sell that size in the kraft brown. I finally gave up because over time my labels were smudging and it was warning labels for my candle business so I kinda need the ink to stay! I ended up buying some kraft labels from another online retailer with a much better price!

I have removed them from some surfaces... particularly hard ones like plastic, glass, etc. However, they will likely self-distruct when done. Paper is another issue. You would probably destroy both the label and the paper it's attached to. You could try heating it with a hair dryer first as that may soften the grip of the label glue used.

They are very sticky. They stayed on the small canning jars I use for spices. I have not used them in the manner you requested but I have touch the jars with wet hands when cooking and the labels haven't come off.

They are made for inkjet printer so they won't smudge. I also used the same Avery stickers for laser printer for my inkjet printer, they won't smudge but the color turned out to be dull.

No. I soak the labels with a light coat of WD-40. Let the WD-40 soak into label. Label can be pealed off/

I just tried it to answer your question. I put the label on a regular white envelope and tried to peel it off. (I had rubbed it on really good to test this, but it was only on for a few seconds) It came off perfectly. It did not pull up any of the envelope. I was also able to stick it back on the envelope fine. :-)

In my opinion, no. They are also thermal-print labels; exposure to heat, such as in a hot car on a summer's day, will cause them to blacken. The ones I have used are not glossy.

The labels are polyester. You may verify this by going to Avery's Web site. When you ask if they "resist oil" I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean if oil got on the label after it was applied to the box/envelope/whatever, then I would think "yes" the oil will not hurt them. If you're trying to stick them to an oily surface though, I don't think they would work very well.

I've bought these Sculpey boxes at Michaels, Walmart, and Blick's besides online and they never come wrapped or pristine. I can't say whether boxes I've ordered online have finger marks but in stores they often do. If it's just one or two I'd say they were just checking it wasn't dried out before sending it. Personally, I find it normal and as long as it wasn't dry and crumbly or missing clay I wouldn't worry.

That would depend on the printer you use, I guess. I use a laser, and just tried wetting them and they did not run. I like these labels a lot because they adhere to my boxes really well.

Hi. I printed an email and dripped water on it, and the ink held up pretty good; however, it did smear when I rubbed my finger over it, but the letters were still there. I hope this review was helpful.

When printing type, I have never seen a smear. When printing pictures, you can get a fingerprint or very slight smear when it comes out of the printer. I lay my pics on a flat surface for several minutes before viewing, stacking or storing them. Never had a problem with smearing when waiting a few minutes. I have never printed on waterproof paper, nor exposed them to weather.

We did the hand prints right away. I think cement dries quite quickly so actually the sooner you make any marks (whether handprints, letters, or other designs) the better. It seems the longer we waited and the more we "fussed" with the cement the more bumpy the end result was, rather than smooth. Hope that helps! This was a lot of fun and all the people we gave them to loved them and have them outside in their gardens! :)

Depends on what you're sticking them to but I returned these labels because the adhesive didn't stay on the labels very well. I was sticking them to waterproof paper, but also tried them on a plastic water bottle and most of the adhesive stayed on the bottle when I took it off. Even when you peel them off the label sheet, some of the adhesive sticks to the sheet a bit.

While I have not had any labels damaged, it is possible for the solution to drip. It is my opinion that the exposure is minimal if you spin the record and immediately take it out, hold it flat and dry it

Have you tried Goo Gone? A couple of sprays let it set about 60 seconds and labels scrape right off.

If they are "wet erase" I believe they do come off with water. You can write on these with Permanent Sharpies, but that won't come off. We've created "generic" signs so we don't have to change the message. (Sign up for VBS This week!) instead of using dates. If you use Wet Erase that may come off, but I haven't tried it. And if it rains, it also may come off. I've also taken a design to a graphic artist and got a 24x36 sheet that we then stuck on to the panel. It's waterproof and if we want to change it, we just have to peal it off. The "stick on designs" are pricy, but if you plan on using them all year (Worship on Sunday at 9 AM - All Welcome) it's worth it. Blessings, Tom
