Stickiness - "Are your labels self-adhesive?" "Are your labels sticky?" "Are your labels peel and stick?" All of our products referred to as a "label" have an adhesive back. All adhesive labels have permanent adhesive except for the products referred to as "removable" labels. Removable labels have a removable adhesive allowing you to remove the label and reposition it as needed. All products referred to as "hang tags" are non-adhesive.
Removable - "Are your labels removable?"
All adhesive labels have permanent adhesive except for the products referred to as "removable" labels. Removable labels have a removable adhesive allowing you to remove the label and reposition it as needed.
Shipping custom orders - "If I order something custom printed today, will it ship today?" "When will I get it?" All custom printing orders required 24-48 hours processing/production time. Therefore if it ships within 2 days, when you will actually receive the order is based on what type of shipping you choose and your location. We do offer a RUSH service for $25. Custom printing orders that have a RUSH charge added to the order can typically go out the same day if we have approved artwork by 12 p.m. CST. For more information on adding the
RUSH service to your order, please call our custom printing department at 877/668-0130 x305.
Color changes - "I see a water bottle, candle, ingredient label that I like online but it's the wrong color, can the colors be changed?" If the background is a photograph, then typically the colors on each pre-designed label can not be changed. If it's simply a border color, background color or text color you want changed, we can do that. There would be an adjustment fee for doing so and, of course, you'd see an electronic proof for approval. We can also design a label from scratch based on your color requirements, etc for a
layout fee. This will most likely require the purchase of new artwork for the color(s) or style you desire.
Corners - "On sheet labels, are the label corners rounded or square?" On each product page, it is specifically stated if the label size has square or rounded corners.
Adherance - Do you think these labels will stick to glass, plastic, wood, drywall, fabric, metal, paper, or baggies?
We have tested all of our label sheet materials with favorable results on a variety of surfaces. However, we always suggest ordering a few sheets first to do your own testing before placing orders for large quantities. You may order as little as one sheet of a size and material so that you may do your own testing. You may also obtain a
custom printing sample for testing on specialized surfaces.
Returns - "I just realized I ordered the incorrect labels and they have already shipped. Can I return them?" Yes, if your request meets the criteria
here. Click the "Get an RMA #" link to fill out the form. You may also call us to discuss your concerns or return.
Verified/Unverified Orders - "I placed my order on mm/dd and the status is showing unverified." "When I ordered, the description said 'usually ships same day'. Is there a problem with my order?" "Why hasn't my order shipped yet?" When paying with PayPal using a draft from your bank account instead of your PayPal balance or a credit card, PayPal will hold the order as unverified until it can secure the funds from your bank account. This can take several days. On these orders, we do not ship until PayPal notifies us that the payment has cleared your bank. To avoid this in the future, use a credit card or a form of instant pay through PayPal such as funds in your PayPal account.
Applying to water bottles - "How do I attach the water bottle labels?" "Will I need to glue them?" "Are they the same as a regular sticky label, or do they just have a sticky part at the very end like factory water bottle labels?" These are fully adhesive peel and stick labels. The entire label is sticky. After removing the factory label on your bottle, simply place your label on the bottle.
Water-resistant finish - "Are your water-resistant inkjet vinyl labels glossy?" "Do water-resistant labels come in other colors?" "Will any of the water-resistant labels hold up in the dishwasher?"
Water-resistant inkjet vinyl labels have a matte finish. If you have access to a laser printer, the water-resistant polyester for a laser printer has a light glossy surface.
The water resistant material is available in white only.
Regarding use in a dishwasher: We have found the water-resistant ULTRA vinyl for an inkjet will hold up longer than any other in the hot water pressure when using black ink only. The laser polyester is not recommended for the dishwasher, even though it's the most water-resistant label we offer for normal water contact. Laser printers use toner (color dust) that is placed on the material and then melted onto the paper as it goes through the fuser. It's water-resistant, meaning you can run water over it and it will be okay. However, a dishwasher uses scalding hot water and could possibly melt the toner right off the label.
Template help - "Will you please email me the template for ** x ** ?" "Do you have a custom template?" "Can you help me layout my label in this template I downloaded?" "How does Microsoft Word work?" "Can you tell me how to use _________ software?"
You may download the templates directly from the website. We have them in Word (*.doc) and Adobe (*.pdf). They are available on each product page. When you download each template, you will be prompted to SAVE or OPEN. SAVE the file to your computer and then open the file in Microsoft Word or appropriate Adobe program. There is an informational image that can be selected and deleted, after reading, to see the template. You should see gray gridlines (for circles / ovals you will not see circles / ovals, only the grid where the circles / ovals are on the sheet).
If you do not see gray gridlines in Word:
(WORD 2003): choose the TABLE tab and then click on SHOW GRIDLINES
(WORD 2007/2010): go to the LAYOUT tab, and click on VIEW GRIDLINES.
(do NOT click the VIEW tab and then the gridlines checkbox, that will make your page look like graph paper - not the feature you want). Because we are not developers or retailers of software, we do not provide training or technical support for software. Our 'templates page' has quite a bit of detailed information that may be helpful.
Large Format Sizes - "Do you supply your sheet labels in 8.5x14, 11x17, or 12x18 sizes?" All in stock label and cardstock/hang tag sheets are 8.5 x 11 size. If you need 500 sheets or more, it is possible to get a large format sheet. Please call for information.
Sample Sheets - "Do you send out samples?" "How do I get samples?" "I just need one or two sample sheets to test in my printer." "I need samples of this and that so I can see the difference in color / match the color." Sample orders can be placed online just like placing any other type of order. If you are ordering 10 sheets or less (hangtags 5 sheets or less) you will be offered a first class shipping option for $3.35 when you checkout. For color matching, you may obtain a color swatch for you to compare. If you are overseas you can place a sample order online just like placing any other type of order.
Metallic Printing - "Can you do custom printing with silver or gold metallic printing?" Our process does not currently include lettering that is raised (embossed), metallic (foil), or Pantone Colors (our presses are digital CMYK).
Global Shipping - "
Do you ship to _________________ ?" Yes, the website is set up to accept orders globally. We ship using USPS Global mail only. Global orders are usually sent the day after the order is placed. The post office states 10 working days for global deliveries. However, it does normally take a bit longer than this (even to Canada). If you have had difficulty in the past or do not see your location in the available countries during checkout, please contact us with your exact address so we can determine if shipping to you is an option.
Exchanges - Can I exchange label sheets I have not used? Under some circumstances, you can return them for a refund and place a new order
for what you wish to exchange them for. Please refer to the
returns policy.
Security - "Is this a secure transaction?" "I don't see any certificates on this store..."
Yes. Every transation is secure. We offer PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, and Discover. Our processing is certified through www.digicert.com . When using PayPal all information will be encrypted before transfer. These certificates are listed on the checkout page of your cart right next to where one would input a credit card number.
Water-resistant Poly printing problems - "My Water-resistent label isn't printing right. It has powder-like color dust on it (or it seems to be flaking in areas). What do I do?" This problem is typically solved by selecting a paper type in your printer properties box that will increase the heat being used by the fuser. We have had wonderful results using the 'transparency' setting.
Copyrights and Trademarks - "Can I use copyrighted or trademarked images?" Due to legal restrictions, not usually. Most jurisdictions provide for the use of trademarks to be licensed to third parties. The licensor (usually the trademark owner) must monitor the quality of the goods being produced by the licensee to avoid the risk of trademark being deemed abandoned by the courts. A trademark license should therefore include appropriate provisions dealing with quality control, whereby the licensee provides warranties as to quality and the licensor has rights to inspection and monitoring.
See Wikipedia for more information.
Template trouble - "I messed up my labels with this template." We appreciate the difficulties our customers may face. It was with that in mind that we created and include in every order an information sheet.
Also note, same size labels in different materials (from different manufacturers) may require a different template. Please compare the sku of the product to the template you are downloading to ensure you are using the correct template.
Keep in mind, templates are guidelines only and are offered to our customers as a courtesy. All templates are based on accurate measurements. Minor adjustments may need to be made for your artwork, lettering or graphics to print accurately. Printers are also resistant to printing to the edge. You may see "Margins are outside the printable area" in a print dialog during your testing and setup. Always print on white paper first.
Trial and error is part of the learning process when it comes to setting up and printing your own labels. Take the necessary time to read the informational insert with your order, the tips and tricks we share with you will save you time & money. Please understand we cannot replace label sheets due to customer testing.
