A Cheap Label May Lead to March Madness. If It Does You're Not Totally Hoopless!

Hi everyone,

What a spectacular response to our March Madness challenge. This is all about hoops! For those of you who are hoopless! ;-O

You can read all the details about the fun, friendly competition in Sunday's post.

As you know, the winner has a chance for a 63" Plasma TV from FOX SPORTS and the winner of our group will win a free laser or inkjet cartridge from www.tlcIT.com.

I was thinking of adding an all expense paid trip to Mrs Grove's, a local bakery, here in Altoona, PA, but decided I'd keep the stickies to myself.

Good luck to all of you who entered.

In the meantime, I'd like to explain more about our labels.

Many of you have tried and absolutely love our labels. I know cause you told me!

But I'm afraid that more people come to our site at www.tlcIT.com, see the ridiculously low prices and ASSUME that the labels are cheaply manufactured and jam your printer and leave!

How wrong could you be?

Just ask some of our customers!

Ask them if they are happy with our labels?

Ask them if the labels ever jam their printer?

Ask them if the labels peel off after they are applied?

Just ask them anything you want. And I'm confident you'll decide to try them for yourself.

If you're more technical-minded and love to read scientific factoids and long for manufacturing specifications for our labels, then here's a treat for you, I am posting a spec sheet for our 2" x 4" shipping labels (or address labels).

For those of you who cannot stand or understand scientific testing like me just skip this part!

Of course the specifications might change from item to item but for the most part the label backing paper, and the label material itself are pretty much the same for all our items.

By the way, if you want a spec sheet for any particular item at our store, then go to the CONTACT US page and send us your request.

We plan on adding a spec download feature to our website in the near future so stay tuned.
