Thank you for contacting OnlineLabels. I apologize for any frustration you may have experienced when applying the labels to your containers. There are a few factors that can affect adhesion and techniques we use to help so I have included those recommendations below:
-
Clean your hands and the application surface. Any debris, dust, moisture, or natural oils can interfere with the adhesive, weakening the bond.
-
Apply the center of the label first and then work out toward the edges. This reduces some of the tension on the ends of the label which will help it stay down.
-
Use pressure when sticking the labels to your surface. Our products are pressure-sensitive, so more pressure equates to a stronger adhesive bond.
-
If the application includes an overlap with full coverage printing, make sure to leave the bottom side of the overlap unprinted. Ink and toner can make it difficult for the adhesive to fully bond.
Can you provide more photos of the bubbling, as I am struggling to see the bubbles. Additionally, If you continue to experience issues, I'm happy to help troubleshoot the issue with you further.

Good morning, My labels are perfect except for 2. Two of the design labels I just purchased, the two clear matte labels are too thick and will not lay flat without lots of bumbles and lines. The glossy clear label is fine... or is much thinner and it will lay flat but these matte are so thick, it doesn't want to lay flat. How can we fix this? Is there a different way of putting these on? I am more than happy to send these two back on my own dime. The other 15 design labels are perfect. Help! Please!
