Label sheets AVERY 51046 — Multipurpose colored adhesive labels for handwriting, 98 x 51 mm, permanent

AVERY 51046 multipurpose colored adhesive labels measure 98 x 51 mm and are designed primarily for handwriting. Each sheet contains permanent adhesive labels in assorted colors that provide clear, durable identification for a variety of items. These labels are intended for everyday office, home and school tasks where visibility and longevity of the marking are important.

Advantages

Colored die-cut labels offer immediate color-coded identification without the need for printing, and the permanent adhesive ensures labels stay attached to a range of surfaces. The 98 x 51 mm format provides enough writing space for names, dates, short descriptions or simple barcodes, while assorted colors help organize by category or priority. Sheets are compatible with common label stock handling and storage routines.

Suitable for

• Handwritten labeling of files, folders and binders
• Marking packages, envelopes and parcels for dispatch or storage
• Organizing shelves, boxes and personal belongings
• School projects, craft applications and color-coded systems

When it may not be suitable

These labels are optimized for handwriting and may not be ideal if you require machine-printed, barcode-grade labels with exact registration. Permanent adhesive offers long-term fixation but can be difficult to remove or reposition without residue on some sensitive surfaces.

Key specifications

• Label size: 98 x 51 mm
• Adhesive type: permanent
• Color: assorted/colored
• Intended marking method: handwriting
• Application areas: office, home, school

How to use

Write directly on each label using a ballpoint pen, permanent marker or felt-tip pen suitable for adhesive paper. Peel the label from the sheet along the die-cut edge and press firmly onto a clean, dry surface to ensure full contact of the adhesive. For best results, avoid applying to dusty, wet or oily substrates and allow a short settling time before handling the labeled item.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 98 x 51 mm size fits your intended surface and provides sufficient writing space
• Consider that permanent adhesive is not designed for frequent repositioning or easy removal
• Check that handwritten marking meets your durability and legibility requirements

Usage recommendations

For longer-lasting legibility, use fade-resistant pens or permanent markers and apply labels to clean, smooth surfaces. Use color-coding consistently to improve retrieval and reduce sorting time.
