I make bath & body products and I was looking for a high quality sticker paper for my labels, especially the lip balms since my previous labels would constantly pop off the tubes.Here’s what I liked about this Vinyl Stick Paper (Inkjet) from Aiva Paper:1. The print quality was amazing! The colors were beautiful, vibrant, and clear, very professional looking! (I have an HP Envy, printed on settings “other glossy” and “best”)2. They were easy to peel and the adhesive was exactly what I was solid. Not only did it hold once wrapped around the lip balm, but when I misplaced a label I was easily able to pull the label off and fix it. (Label wasn’t completely applied when removed to fix.)3. On their own, they are 90-95% waterproof. Now I did run the entire label under the water faucet for 2-3 seconds, so it was heavily saturated and then I rubbed my finger over it. For the most part, the label returned back to normal, will just a little discoloration around the edges.Here’s what I don’t like..1. No matter how long you let dry, the black will smear. I let my labels dry for 48 hours before applying them. For sanitary purposes I place a plastic seal over every lip balm, you just slide it on and then gently heat it to shrink and seal the tube in the plastic wrap. It’s not a tight fit to begin with and yet the black smeared as I slide the plastic on. (Picture #2) Though this isn’t a huge deal and very minor, it’s still frustrating and looks unprofessional. There is a “Tip” on the back of the package that says “To increase durability and achieve full waterproofness…apply a clear UV resistant sealer spray.” Next time I’ll apply a sealer spray to prevent any smearing.Quick tip: I applied these labels after wearing latex gloves, so my hands were a tad sweaty. Either apply a clear sealer, make sure your hands are completely dry or wear gloves when cutting (if by hand) or handling your finished product (packaging, applying, etc.). The printed area got super sticky and smeared a little from the moisture on my hands.Overall, I’m fairly happy with the product and will continue to use it for now.
