Limited time deal at Amazon. Seems like a great price if you take a look at the camels. Looks even better when you compare how much other places are selling them. If you can find another item (possibly even just 2 packs of these) you can get another 9% off. I don't think I can get through 960 labels so I ended up getting Edge of Tomorrow Ultimate Collector's Edition in 4K at $28.54 which isn't too bad a price either.
I've never used these labels before but reviews are excellent really at 4.6 out of 5. (325 global ratings). I imagine these will be a good alternative to a label maker. You will need a Laser Printer to use these. I imagine it's easy to get templates to make good labels but I haven't looked into it yet. Has anyone got any experience using these? How are these long term?

10/10 on these! I personally use these as asset stickers, I personally run my own Audio Visual rental company and I print with these!
Paired with ozbargins favourite brother l3230cdw it prints decently! Though colour printing can flake!
Tips, In no order, just putting them in as my brain farts them out
Print ONE AT THE TIME, don't batch print as it can impact quality output as I think it requires the fuser to cool down a bit to achieve the stick.
When preparing, a quick tip is to print on standard paper, then use a bright tourch light and align it with the label to make sure you have alignment done properly! (make sure to get a bright light! Considering these are thiCC you wont be able to get away with a phone flash light!)
To add, make sure you get a few prints done first before getting complacent, ALWAYS do this check EVERY session you wish to print, never trust that after a few hours, it will be the same. Ive personally probably wasted like 50 sheets in my life time (Ive printed a total of about 200+ sheets of these ;)
Make sure your printer is set to its highest colour and quality setting, this is no place to stinge on eco mode! low and slow and best picture will get you the best results! Remember, you're paying by the dollars per page here!
When using these, they won't stick to flexible things, so things like silicone, fabric and stuff that move this is a no go. this is a foil-based label not vynil which can take bends.
I've had situations where smudging happens, in some cases this is GG, this goes with my above top of printing one at a time, giving the fuser a proper chance to fuse to the paper, don't try reprinting over the top, you'll ruin it, never had any success personally.
These are amazing labels! super cheap and give out a professional output that you only find those $10K plus solutions! the fact you can print colour already beats any dymo or brother p touch series so you wont be disappointed!
Good luck to all, hope you don't waste as many pages! :P
