Waterproof Reorder Labels
Visit HLM Printingand Labeling's website (a bit old school, so you will need to call or email your order) then email [email protected] or call 323-726-1057 to order. I order the 1 1/2 x 1/2 size (#12A) in white. They fit perfectly over the product bar code. Some consultants prefer gold or clear. The cost is $16.95 for 1000 labels plus $2 shipping. If you order 5 rolls, you get 1 free. Shipping takes 2-4 weeks. Apply these to all your consumable products.
My labels read:
