You have to put them in the refrigerator....
As weird as this sounds, you have to put the labels in the refrigerator. Like the other review, I bought these and got them home and I was like, "Wow these things are horrible." All of the sticky stuff that was stuck to the backing of the labels was stuck to the sheet and when you peeled the label off you got NADA sticky on the back of the label. I had planned on taking them back to where I bought them and just hadn't had time to do so yet! Well, when I was canning the other day I had a spark of ingenuity! I thought, "Wonder if putting them in the refrigerator would set the sticky and keep it on the back of my label where it is supposed to be?" Well, sure enough I put them in the refrigerator for a while and then checked a few labels....all of the sticky stayed where it was supposed to be. I tried taking them out to write on them...NOPE...same result as before! You have to keep them in the refrigerator constantly and can only take a label out as you need it! Also, you just take the label off the strip and put it on your jar. If you take the whole role out to try and write on one label they all go back to worthless...SOOOOOOO, it is rather irritating having to do all that to get the label...BUT I had payed for them and didn't wanna have wasted money. So they do work....they just have to be kept in the fridge! Update: Also, it really depends on where you buy these and whether the labels have been kept at a consistent temp or not! I seem to always have trouble with labels bought at Wal-Mart but not the labels that I buy from Amazon....
