5.0 out of 5 stars An improvement over an already good design., July 31, 2010

(What's this?)

If you have a mailing list in the hundreds, anything that shaves a little bit of time on the boring and repetitive parts of the project is very welcome. This new "easy peel" design couldn't be easier to use. You just bend the column every so slightly and you get an easy to grab edge that allows you to peel off each label without having to grab a corner by nudging with your fingernail, over and over again--even after going through the heat of a laser printer. I have found them to feed through smoothly (only one sheet at a time), not get jammed, not have one of the label corners accidentally adhere to the roller or feed dogs of the printer (yes, this has happened to me and it's a nightmare I'm glad to be able to put behind me). They work like a charm.

NOTE TO AVERY:

As much as I have loved these labels, I STILL have a slight objection. It has nothing to do with either quality, functionality, or design. It has to do with size. These one-inch high labels easily accommodate a three-line address. A four-line address fits. However, if you want to take full advantage of your word processor's capabilities and add a zip bar code line (which really DOES work in getting your mail delivered faster), you can fit it in on the three-line address, but it gets cut off on the four-line address.

If you have a longer address structure, you're absolutely doomed. For example: I have several unmarried couples on my list. They each require a line. (Mr. John Smith, Ms. Mary Jones). I also mail some company executives, and this becomes a nightmare:

Mr. John Smith, President

The ACME Company

1234 Main Street, Suite 5

City, State, Zip

//////bar code////////.

This address does not fit on a 1" label.

This makes creating a large mailing a real problem. I print the whole list (800+) in this label, then discard the ones that didn't fit and re-do them manually on label #05163, which are the next size up but, at 2" x 4" they are really to BIG. (#5962 which is 1 1/3" high doesn't provide that much of an improvement and it's still 4" wide!)

Please, Avery, make a 1.5" x 3" label to accommodate the longest names and titles and the longest addresses and not look horrible on the envelope--and make them Easy Peel, just like this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Avery vs. 3M, August 6, 2010

(What's this?)

Side-by-side comparison: 3M Address Labels are just as good, and usually less expensive. Go for the better price.

I've used Avery and 3M labels for years.

The 3M have the same easy-peel layout, without the laughable salesmanship.

The 3M package claims "Permanent Adhesive" and "Strong Stick." The Avery stick just as well, or almost as well

I find the 1" x 2-5/8" size is big enough if you use size 9 font (Arial). I get up to 38 characters per line x 5 lines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just works ... What's not to like?, July 29, 2010

(What's this?)

I've been using Avery's 5267 product to make return address labels for some time now, but despite the increasing quaintness of postal mail, I still have a few people and companies that I mail things to every so often, so tried out Avery's 5260 address labels for laser printers to print up some address labels. They just work.

If you haven't used this type of product, it's a breeze if you have almost any working version of Microsoft Word, because Word has built-in templates for Avery's various labels. Just open or create a document, type in the address you want on the label, select Mailings/Labels (in Word 2007 - varies by version), tell it that you want to use Avery 5260 labels, and Word knows how to lay out the page and to replicate the text 30 times to fill out a page of identical labels. Or you can give Word a list of addresses from a mailing list and it will lay them out to fit on the Avery product.

This appears to be a new generation of Avery's line of labels, with "pop-up edges" to make it easier to peel each label from the page, as compared to older versions which required you to bend the page or pry out each label with your fingernails. Amazing how it's possible to improve even a seemingly mundane product.

Anyway, these just work and I don't even think about them when creating or using them - which to me is the definition of usefulness and quality.
