FAQs
What types of files can I use these labels on?
These labels are designed for the spines of lever arch files, ring binders, box files, and elasticated folders.
Can I print on these labels with any printer?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard laser and inkjet printers.
How do I design the labels?
Avery provides free downloadable templates and software for Microsoft® Office to help you easily design and print your labels.
What does 'BlockOut™' mean for these labels?
BlockOut™ technology means the labels are opaque and completely cover any text or old labels underneath, allowing you to re-label files without old markings showing through.
How many labels come on each sheet?
The specific number of labels per sheet varies by design, but the L7170-25 pack contains 25 sheets with 600 labels in total.
Are these labels waterproof?
The labels are made of paper and are not inherently waterproof. They are best used in dry conditions and should be protected from moisture.
Can I reuse the labels once removed?
These are permanent adhesive labels and are not designed for repositioning or reuse once applied.
Troubleshooting
Labels not printing straight or alignment is off.
Ensure the label sheets are loaded correctly into the printer tray, aligned with the paper guides. Print a test page on plain paper first to verify alignment before printing on the label sheets. Check printer settings for correct paper size (A4) and type.
Printer is jamming with label sheets.
Verify that the label sheets are not creased or damaged. Ensure your printer is set to handle labels or cardstock if available. Do not feed more than one sheet at a time unless your printer specifically supports it. Check printer rollers for debris.
Text not completely covered by BlockOut™ feature.
Ensure the label is applied correctly and is flat against the surface. The BlockOut™ feature is most effective when the underlying text is not raised or excessively textured. For very dark or embossed text, a second label might be needed.
Labels are not sticking properly.
Make sure the surface of the file spine is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Press down firmly on the label after application to ensure good adhesion.
