Avery Removable Label Pad

Product Description:


  • Fully removable adhesive lets you apply and remove as you wish
  • Labels stay in place and remove cleanly
  • Simply grab the nonstick tab to peel the label, apply and then tear the tab off or keep it on for easy removal
  • Sturdy backing card lets you write directly on the pad
  • Pad includes 40 labels of each color


  • I have a love affair with office supplies. While browsing thru a local drug store, I came across these on sale and picked up two packs, the 1" x 3" and 2" x 3" for my Filofax pages.  The seem to stick well to the planner pages, they are easy to write on, re-sticking doesn't seem to be a problem (although they do curl up when you remove them, they lay flat again when reattached) and they did not leave any residue on the paper. The removable tab seems a little wasteful but could be handy as a tab or a way to easily find the note. Sometimes my biggest complaint about non-post-it note labels is the ability to write on them, there seems to be a "waxy" cover on the note that doesn't accept sharpie ink. I was happy to see that was not the case with the Avery labels and even my favorite Sharpie Pen wrote with ease.
    My one minor complaint is the tab. If you bend it all the way forward, there is a slight line of adhesive that gets exposed, not a huge issue but the planner pages behind the label could become "attached".

    However, for the sales price, I wish I would have grabbed all the store had in stock.

      1. They are awesome and easy to keep tucked away and use, however, after using them for a month, I've noticed the large ones do not stay stuck down totally, the edges start to unstick. But for the price, color and ease of use they are totally worth it.
