These labels are excellent. The smooth surface is waterproof if printed with a pigment-based inkjet printer. The print quality is exceptional due to the smooth finish. I've printed logo labels with this product. While these labels were created for industrial use (chemical bottles, etc.), the fade/water resistance coupled with the extremely strong, permanent adhesive makes it a versatile and good choice for other uses. I made business logo labels to use on various, hard-to-stick surfaces (including a Moleskine notebook) with NO peel-off. While pricey, they do exactly what they promise and make it a great choice for use in mixed environments.
