Pack of 2016 1" Round Color Coding Circle Dot Labels, Neon Green, 8 1/2" x 11" Sheet, Fits Any Printer

These labels LOOK like a great deal...They're inexpensive, they claim to be "perfect for laser or inkjet" and they tout their free design templates. When they first arrived, I was a tad skeptical. They look and feel cheap, but I ordered them for a specific task so I set to it. The template WAS easy to find on their site and easy to download. I used both the photoshop and the indesign template to set up my project and check it against one another and then printed on a Canon laser printer. TWO THINGS: The templates did not work. Even though my designs were dead center in each guide line in each template, they printed offset low in real life. That wasn't the worst part, though...THESE LABELS ARE NOT PERFECT FOR LASER. The cheap paper didn't hold the toner on half the page, leaving me with speckled stickers and the stickers that did print out "ok" aren't any good as the toner rubbed off without much effort. I would NOT recommend these stickers and I will NOT buy them again.

I will preface this review by stating five facts about myself.1. I worked for a printshop for a number of years.2. I regularly design labels, badges, stickers for various events and projects.3. I know how to use a template and/or make my own.4. I read the reviews and figured the other buyers just didn't know what they were doing.5. I was wrong.I should have heeded the other reviewers' warnings. When the labels arrived the quality (brightness, adhesiveness, paper texture/thickness) seemed no different than a competitor's. Here is where the real review begins. I attempted to use the AWD template specified by the packaging and available on the Hot Color Products website. Half the labels were misaligned. I re-attempted to use the template, rotating the label sheets in my printer. This was done in case the pages needed to be oriented a certain way to work with the template. This time the labels were even more misaligned. Based on another review, I attempted to use an Avery template. Not surprised, same result. Lastly, I made my own template with the same result. By process of elimination, I believe that the manufacturer of these labels has an alignment problem (on this production run or maybe all). If the labels are cut on the sheet misaligned, no amount of careful template creation/usage is going to fix that. So after 2 hours of wasted time I ordered the Avery labels. They printed perfectly on the first attempt. Really not surprising.

I am only giving a 4 star because the template did need some adjusting. I suggest you download the template and play with it and print it out on a regular piece of paper and put it on the sticker sheet and hold it up to the light to make sure that it is aligned correctly. Once the template was set correctly I downloaded it and now all I have to do is load it up and print. Easy as that. It doesn't really take that long and I only printed out 2 test sheets on regular paper before I used the sticker sheet and no problems since.If I remember correctly, you do have to make sure that "Fit to page" is turned off when you go to print otherwise it will print incorrectly. The "Fit to page" feature gives it margin at the top, bottom and sides that are used for normal word documents and stuff. When you un-select this, it will allow the template to use the whole page setup and not use any preset margins for headers and footers. Not too complicated and the labels have worked great.

Used this for a toddler activity and they had almost no trouble peeling the stickers by themselves. Definitely remove the white over paper first to make it easier, but they're huge and bright and you get an amazing amount for the price.

The package came. The whole packet of labels inside the shipping envelope were folded in half. Not because of the postal service. You can see that's the way it was packed! Who folds label sheets meant to go in a printer?!?I snapped a picture because I was skeptical it would work.It did go in the printer and work.However, first when I started working on their template, when I hit shift it automatically centers it to the circle. However it did allow the words to flow out of the circle. It was difficult to figure out how to color the label (rather than just the words)But worst part.... Once I printed it, it's totally misaligned!

Stickers are e greatTemplate sucks, bad.Use Avery's template 6450You'll be printing perfect labels in a few minutesUse GaragePup's and you'll be pulling your hair out for an hour

Absolutely perfect. We've tried everybody's (and I mean everybody's) one inch labels and multiple templates. We used the Avery 6450 template and these worked better than the really expensive Avery labels! If you need 1" round without the headaches - this is a must.

I use them for my natural beauty product business. You can see more examples of the results here: voxintra.etsy.com I've tried a LOT of labels with varying degrees of success and I'm amazed by the quality of these. Didn't have to tinker around with them to get them to print. No smudging or smearing. I've used them with 2 different types of printers now (Epson Artisan 1430 and Epson Expression XP-15000, both inkjet) and the result is just beautiful. They're also easy to peel off in case you make a mistake with placement. I absolutely love them and will continue to buy them for as long as they're available!
