These are cool...
When you look at these, the first thing that you think of is the classic Post-It note. These, though, are different. In a Post-It, the adhesive is located in a relatively thin strip across the top of the pad, with the rest of the paper being uncoated. Eventually, they tend to curl-up and work loose. The Avery Removable Labels have adhesive across the entire back, with only a small tab being left uncoated. There's nothing to curl up except for the tab, and that can be removed along a perforated line. The result is that the entire thing stays stuck where you want it until you remove it.
I'm going to start using these in files in lieu of Post-It's. Currently, I'll have an edge of a Post-It sticking out to call attention to something. Over time, I've had a problem with them falling off. With these guys, I can have the tab poking out, but the whole rest of the label (with my scribbled notes) will stay stuck until I want to peel it off. To make the note semi-permanent, all I need to do is pull the tab off and there's nothing left to bump...I have to work my nail under a corner to peel it off.
Pick up a pack or two and try them out.
Removable Labels but Difficult to Print in Printer
Colored removable labels are nice. One use is to label your luggage so you can spot your bag from distance in baggage terminal. Other use is to label jars in kitchen. My only complaint is that because of non standard size, their being on a pad, it is very difficult to print these labels in standard laser or ink-jet printers. They should also produce these on standard size sheets so that you can print them in laser printers. Each pad has mixture of all colors and if you use one color more than others, you will be left with lot of unused labels. What I don't know yet is how long does the label stays in place.
80% post consumer recycled - reusable design (great for polygonal origami also)
I really like these labels. I love that they are 80% recycled paper. Unlike some recycled paper products I've used, they have a nice texture and good colors. I like the more subdued colors. The green is a chartreuse, but it isn't a neon chartreuse like the other removable notes.
Making them fully adhesive is great. The others, with the small strip of adhesive on one edge, tended to curl up and pull loose. I have some removable paper tape from a Japanese stationary store that is very handy because of the fully adhesive back. I couldn't easily use that tape as a book mark, because I had a sticky surface sticking out of the book. If I wanted to be able to easily lift the tape, or use it as a book mark, I had to fold over one end. These labels have a small plain paper tab to solve those problems. The tab even has a clean edge perforation so it can be easily removed if you don't need it. That is a brilliant little touch.
Having the fully adhesive back also makes this an excellent tool as a temporary tape to use when doing art and layout projects. When I need to tape, or glue, two parts together, I like to use temporary tape to get it perfectly aligned before I add the permanent adhesive. I always had to fold over the end of each piece of tape to make it easy to get back up when I was finished, but the tab takes care of that issue.
-----Special note for folks who like Origami:-----
I use removable paper tape when building modular origami projects.
Sometimes assembly of complex pieces is very difficult as the parts slip apart while you are building it. Modular origami pieces are designed to hook together tightly enough to stay together when the piece is complete, but getting them to that point is sometimes a real challenge. You don't want to use permanent adhesive because that is ugly and really not part of the art - your finished piece should be folded paper only - no glue - no tape.
You can use these to assist during the assembly, then remove them when it's stable. It takes a lot of frustration out of the creation of complex polygonal structures.
When I used removable tape, I had to make a series of individual tape strips with one end folded over. I'd make up a bunch of them and have them stuck all over my desk so they were ready to grab while I was hooking the pieces together and only had one hand available. I usually made too many, or not enough also. I won't have to do that anymore, as I can just use a pad of these labels. I can even stack them back up as I remove them, and use them again for the next project. That's the best way to recycle - Reuse.
I'm very happy with the design, color, recycled content and reusable design.
