I purchased a LetraTag printer roughly a month ago with white paper label tape. Labels begin to peel almost as soon as applied. I am now applying invisible tape over the labels to keep them in place. I will try the plastic labels in the hope that they stick. Otherwise, I will be looking for a labeler with better adhesive tapes.

Very limited use case. The adhesive on the back of the labels does not stick particularly well to most surfaces. Metal, glass, and plastic all seem to give it trouble, which really narrows down what you can actually label. I find sticking it to paper or cardboard surfaces works best—so, stuff you could already just write directly on. There's a lot of options for a simple label maker that would make it a really versatile device, if it weren't so mechanically limited. It's nice that there are many text options and even punctuation and symbols to choose from, but it'd be nicer if the tape stayed stuck. I imagine bit of clear tape over the label would help, but again, if I'm already putting tape down on things, why not just write my labels directly on the tape? Unfortunately this device can only be as good as the materials provided, and those materials are disappointing.

I have used this very same product for many years and it always shows it is a quality product, and I still used the very same label maker I purchased all those years ago! Use 5 times per week average and never failed! 10 year old movie labels still look as good as todays I will print. BONUS I added this to my online shipment to get the FREE SHIPPING over $50 and saved a 40 mile round trip to my nearest Wal Mart!

Have been using this item for several years, and I have yet to find anything more useful or versatile. As others have said, it's easy to load into the machine, the printing is clear with no smudging, and it does adhere well [in some uses, I do use clear tape over it to hold it better]. Couldn't ask for more -- except to echo one previous reviewer as to a bulk pack.

Works well and labels came out correctly. The tape is matte, no gloss at all. Printing looked good. Paper backing is a little tricky to get off. Seam is in the middle so bend and peel from center. I would like to see the paper slightly thicker. Decent labels produced in the end.

I have used the labels on multiple surfaces such as spray bottles, plastic totes, electronic chargers, etc and the adhesive is not very strong. All of the labels have started to peel off, even on surfaces that don't see much activity.

JRW911 is right. It's a super easy product to use. Just type, print, peel and stick! Doesn't get much easier than that. I use this product to label my customer's tennis racquets after stringing them.

I bought a Dymo Letratag label maker a month ago. The paper labels stink. Almost every label created to date has curled up and does not hold to item labeled. Very disappointed.

I was surprised that these were a lot more inexpensive on line then what they charge in the store.... Due to that fact I ordered several of these and they should last me a while. I use them at work and they are great.

Don't listen to Ken below. The paper backing has to be removed after printing to expose the adhesive.
