We started having the same issues with the Avery labels a few years ago. It started around the covid era when a lot of these companies were having supply chain issues. Most of the time the labels are fine but there is an unacceptable rate of "stick" now that is very annoying. We've found that if we tuck a corner of the label underneath itself so that just that corner of the label isn't sticking to the item, we have a much easier time removing the label when the item is returned to us.

Good morning, friends! I am hoping to keep staff happy by finding removable labels for MeL that are ACTUALLY removable. For years we have used Avery Removable ID Labels and they were great but for the last year or so they have been increasingly hard to remove. I would love to stick with the same size. Anyone out there have any suggestions?
