SueH Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 My lip balm labels won't stick and I don't know what to do! They go the whole way around the lip balm and the ends won't stick. Do you think a glue stick would work? TIA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 i stick a piece of packing tape that is a little bit longer around them, works like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jldorrington Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 WSP sells the shrink wrap bands they just tear around the lid which is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpowell Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I use the ones from WSP as well. They work good, although they seem a bit long for the tube if you want the perforation to line up with the space between the tube and the cap. I usually just trim the tiny bit off the bottom before I shrink them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Every time I see this kind of post I always say the same thing:Have you tried to wash them with soap and water once you're done pouring them? There is some kind of spray that goes onto the finished container that when washed off has no interference with labels.Try that before you go making extra work for yourself.

KristineG Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I wash mine after I cap them. Haven't had a problem till just about 5 minutes ago. I followed my usual procedure, and after labeling about 25 or so, I noticed the labels were not sticking. I print all of my labels on my printer and realized that I loaded "repositionable" sticker paper instead of permanent. Are your labels preprinted or do you print your own and if so, what type of label paper are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimb Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I print my lip balm labels on regular white paper and then use packaging tape to attach them to the lip blam tubes. It saves me the headache of having labels that want to slide,Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineG Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well...in my previous post, I thought I used the wrong label. Come to find out, I didn't. Recently, I switched from the natural tube to the all white tube. I've never had problems with labels not sticking to the natural tubes whether I used permanent labels or repositionable. I am definitely having problems with the all white tubes. As of this morning, and after trying both, repositionable and permanent, all of my natural tubes are still labeled...no problems....The white ones? Every morning when I wake up the first thing that I've been doing is checking the white tubes and guess what, labels not sticking. I even printed new labels to overlap a bit. Could it just be the white tube? I'm going back to the natural. As far as shrink wrapping, once the consumer removes the shrink wrap, what will prevent the label from popping off?
