laser printable Lip balm tube labels that stay on!
Hi everyone!
I have been using onlinelables' brand clear lip balm tube labels for almost a year. I have shrink wrapped, ran a thin line of tape down the seam, and nothing seems to keep these labels from peeling off. At first I thought it was because I mainly use the oval tubes, but even when I do a promo flavor and use the round tubes, they still do it. I've also tried using the white labels, I was going to switch even though they didn't match the rest of my line. But even they still do it, too.
Does anyone else have this issue with these particular label with this company? I use a variety of products from online labels, and I don't have any issues with any others. Just this one. I called and they offered me free ones, but that doesn't solve the problem.
Does anyone know of a reasonably priced company that offers a reliable label that will stay on? I also want the perforated cap; preferably. I don't want to have to shrink wrap them if I don't have to. Customers always complain they are so hard to get open (because they are).
I know there is always the consideration to have them outsourced...and believe me, I would love to be able to afford to do that. I'm just not there yet. I also want to be able to add products/change labels if I need to, and giving control over to a company just doesn't make sense right now.
Thanks in advance,
Missy Marlar

Matt - OMG!!!!
You have made my day.
Currently I am paying over $2.55/sheet from a vendor for labels that are marketed as "dishwasher safe". I just did a side by side comparison of the descriptions and they look identical.
I already have tons of stock of the white weatherproof polyester labels from Online Labels because I use those for my clients that need cosmetic beauty and bath labels for their packaging.
I will test them myself and see what happens. If they work - WOOOOOHOOOOOOO
I am so glad I asked !!!!!
Thank You Thank You Thank You

Loving the love! Let me know how your test go.
Printing Tip: In your printer properties set the paper setting to a heavier setting like "card stock" this will fuse the toner onto the labels better.
Talk soon,
Matt :-)

We have the same problem with those labels that you mentioned, so finally gave up and have Flextech (local printer here in Utah) to mass produce them (It cost us $704.50 (6,000 in a roll-for all 15 flavors). But we still use Online labels for the custom orders. I believe Matt is right about the tube issues. Although, it's hard to find the culprit bec. we buy from SKS, Soaps & things, Elements, MMS still have the same problem. The Krylon spray just smell so bad, I figured its bad for us to breathe that stuff (just me talking). I really like the new labels we have done from Flextech (we are actually in talks with them to let us do custom orders in small quantity but we have to redesign our labels) like leave the box blank for them to add the individual info. We haven't done it yet so we shall see...All I can tell you is you'll be very happy to get it done by the professional printer including the perforated cap - no more shrink wrapping-Save you time & Electricity! Hope this helps!!!

I also use onlinelables.com and had this problem with some of my lables also until I started wiping my bottles with alcohol because the oil that was on my bottle was making the label come up,now the problem has been resolved.

I'm having the same issue as well. I'll try the alcohol and see if that will work.
