Most useful size

I have these chemical labels in several sizes. This large size is most useful since I can also make mini signs out of them, these are not just for labeling containers. The uses are endless - wherever you have a harsh environment that would smear normal labels. I don't have a laser printer so I used an Epson inkjet printer anyway. The print turned out nice and dried to a durable pigment finish. Just be sure not to touch the surface and let it dry for several minutes, since the ink will smudge if you touch it, until it's completely dry. Use an inkjet with pigment based ink rather than dye based ink, since pigment ink is much more durable. If you want "Section 3 compliance" where the labels are tested for abrasion resistance and permanence of print, Avery recommends the Oki C711 series laser printers and Epson ColorWorks C831 inkjet printer. I used the wonderful web based "Design & Print Online" feature on the Avery website to create the labels. This generates a PDF document that you can save and print. This was quicker than using the Word templates that I used to use a long time ago. The labels have a semi gloss pearly (eggshell) surface, and the labels are quite thin. It feels like acrylic in the sense that it doesn't stretch to the contour when you apply it on top of tiny bumps on the container surface. Overall these are wonderful labels.

Two thumbs up!

I'm a Realtor and changed brokerages... instead of buying new signs right away I bought these to cover the old logo with the new one. They stick amazing and have held up in the crazy storms CA has been having! 👍🏻👍🏻

good quality as expected

Expensive but outstanding quality - excellent online printing tools and templates

This review covers the Avery UltraDuty GHS Chemical Labels (4-3/4" x 7-3/4"). I have reviewed other Avery GHS labels of different sizes, the body of the review is mostly the same. I am using these labels for home use with a color laser. I use these to label containers in my garage and large storage containers in my basement. These are containers that I want to have the label be around for years through wear and tear, humidity, dirt, and grit. I was concerned that the large label size would present issues when being placed on the container.. primarily I was concerned I would wrinkle the label as I put it on... it turns out that was unfounded even with the large label... the label went on easily and wrinkles smooth right out right away. First and foremost, I am very impressed with the toughness of the label itself. I cut off a piece of the edge of the label sheet and was trying to tear or stretch it, and despite quite an effort, the label material would not stretch or tear. That is amazing. These are waterproof and resistant to chemicals, so should weather being put on the containers that get oily and grimy and still retain their readability. To print to the labels I used the online Avery design and print site. I was very pleased with the ease of use and, at the same time, the powerful flexibility Avery has designed into their label site. You have many options and customization capabilities. The web location (avery.com/GHS) is very thoughtfully printed on the back of each label sheet with other instructions. The online website is a breeze to use. You enter your label product number and then can select from many templates for chemical labels. If you want to, you have totally flexibility to design your own label, adding text and images through Avery or your own uploaded images. You can cut and paste and customize each label individually or do them all exactly the same (the individual customization was very useful for me). Printing the labels through my color laser was easy. I printed a test page and compared it to the label sheet, it matched perfectly. I used my manual paper feed to print the label sheet. The quality of the print on the label sheet was the same as that on the normal paper. The only question in my mind is how well the label sheet will retain the toner... will it fade over time? For that, time will tell. Overall... these are expensive labels, but you get a lot of them and they sure as heck are tougher than anything I've ever used. Like these a lot.

very durable and would stick to anything

Great Product!!!

Great labels to solve our GHS label problem!!

Really great!

I love Avery stuff and I particularly like these labels. They are really durable and I'm not sure they can even be scraped off, certainly they can't be pulled off very easily. All you have to do is go to the Avery site and put in the number on the box and the templates come up. You then type in text box what you want to say. They have hazardous symbols on some of templates or you can print plain ones. I used the plain ones because I wanted some labels for where I work. We have some metal flower pots that we display flowers in but the customers are always trying to buy. The labels now say the property of the store. Finding out how well that worked I made one for the wheelchair. Someone stole our first one. You'd think when you provide one for the store (a retail store), they'd be nice enough not to steal it. Now it has stickers on it that they will find hard to remove. I also put one on our big Tennant vacuum that is run by a battery. Ok, maybe it wasn't necessary since the thing is huge and we couldn't miss it going out the door but I got carried away. Next, I'm going to organize my boxes around here and make labels for them too. Since I ordered one of every size box they have, there is going to be a lot of label making going on!
