There is a wide range of factors that can contribute to how well a label adheres to the surface it’s being applied to so we’ve included some recommendations below. -It’s important to ensure that the surface is clean and free of any debris, dust or moisture before attempting to apply your label. -Applying the center of the label first, and then continuing to apply pressure outward will ensure a nice, even application that should promote better adhesion. -Be careful when handling the label before application. Oil from your fingers can negatively affect the strength of the adhesive - try to hold the labels by the edge and touch the adhesive as little as possible. -Remember, our labels are pressure sensitive, so be sure to use some force when applying them to your surface or container.
