Avery Shipping Address Labels Inkjet 3-1/2 x 5 - Strong Permanent Hold

In this review the Avery Shipping Address Labels stand out as a practical solution for anyone who prints shipping labels, return addresses or custom stickers at home or in a small office. The single biggest reason to buy is the UltraHold permanent adhesive combined with TrueBlock technology, which lets users reuse boxes and cover old markings without labels lifting or smudging. For people who need reliable, printable white labels that play well with inkjet printers, these 3-1/2 x 5 in sheets deliver consistent results and peace of mind.

Key Features

• Permanent adhesive: UltraHold adhesive is formulated to stick on cardboard, envelopes, paper, glass and metal so labels stay in place during handling and transit.
• Inkjet optimization: The labels are tuned for inkjet printers so text and color print clearly without causing jams or visible smudges.
• TrueBlock technology: Covers up prior markings and barcodes completely, making it easy to reuse boxes and present a clean shipping surface.
• Versatile pack size: The 100-label pack is suited for moderate to high-volume mailing and also for craft projects, beer or wine bottle labels, and classroom use.
• Custom templates: Easily customize designs using thousands of free templates on Avery's site, which speeds setup for recurring label jobs.

Who It's For

These labels are ideal for small business owners, home shippers and crafters who use inkjet printers and need a dependable, permanent label that won't lift or curl. They are especially useful for people who reuse boxes frequently and want the convenience of TrueBlock to hide old addresses or markings.
