History of Post-it® Notes Dr. Spencer Silver, a 3M scientist, discovered the formula for the sticky stuff back in 1968. But it was Silver's colleague, Art Fry, who finally came up with a practical use for it. The idea for repositionable notes struck Fry while singing in the church choir. His bookmark kept falling out of his hymnal, causing him to lose his page. Fry used a portion of his working hours to develop a solution to his problem. Now the world is singing the praises of his pet project: Post-it® Notes. After years of product development, 3M introduced the concept of Post-it® Notes in four major markets in 1977. By 1980, Post-it® Notes were being sold nationally. Today, they're used and enjoyed throughout the world.

This might be the perfect product We've all been there - at a function and are given a peel off sticky name tag that immediately peels off of our jackets, shirts, dresses at the edges and then we are self conscious for the rest of the evening. These Post-It(R)Super Sticky labels will eliminate that problem. They stick fabulously. But that is not why I got them. My thoughts were to use them for labels on envelopes, binders, etc. so that I could put one on and later remove it. The Post-It concept makes this a perfect label. The super stickiness of the backing also makes it so that you could use these for mailing labels. So as a one type fits all, it is the nearly perfect (and maybe it is perfect) product. The templates from both 3M and Avery will work with this product. Neither are the older, more visual templates that we've come to expect from Avery, but since there are only eight labels on a page, it is easy to keep track of where you are on the page. Remember to skip the middle tab as it is the space between the labels. I also tested these in my printer for being able to use them one label at a time. The page passes through my printer easily with one or several labels removed. Another warning - remember to delete the older labels from the template that have already been used so that you are not printing on the backing paper - your inkjet will print on it, but the ink will not stick to it and it will get on your printer rollers. The ink will eventually dry, but when in a hurry, it can make a mess. This is terrific product. Pretty Good Name Tags I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the labels. We have a big event coming up, and these will work great. I'm glad that they don't have the "Hello, my name is..." printed on them. Compared to other name badges, these have a semi-gloss finish. Both a marker and a regular pen worked fine on the labels. Pros: + You can print on them from your computer + The labels state which template they are compatible with + They are easy to pull off. There's no extra label material left over immediatly next to the labels which can make them hard to peel off some times. + Each label backing is perforated, so you can use just half the sheet, or separate individual badges (helpful if you've pre-printed the names and want to get them out fast) + The labels are much more sticky than other labels I've used + The labels won't tear or rip easily + Compatible with Laser and inkjet Cons: - They are pretty sticky, so stay away from leathers, suedes, silks, velvet, etc. - Wish there were 200 labels per package (has 160) Super sticky indeed - PERFECT - Shipping needs work! The Post-It labels are quite impressive and I would expect nothing less from this brand. I was able to quickly find a template for Microsoft Word and download it for FREE via Avery's website. Once the template was acquired (and many template designs are available for free) I was able to setup the labels and print them out very quickly. Here is where my shipping issue comes into play. Labels, such as these, need to be STRAIGHT when fed into the printer so that the printing is not crooked and or does not jam the printer. A lot of care needs to go into shipping these items because if they bounce around and the packaging gets dented in the corner/etc..they will get damaged. In my case the top right corner of the labels packaging was damaged and thus it was a nightmare to feed them through the printer. Now, to Amazon's credit..they probably shipped them well...but carriers destroy packages and thus my dilemma. Luckily all of the sheets were not harmed and I was able to successfully print them out.... That being said, the product is perfect and gets a 5/5 - I think Amazon may need to come up with a better shipping solution for them.
