How to use

Usage recommendations

Store unused cassettes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve print quality and adhesive performance. For long-lasting identification, apply labels to clean surfaces and allow adhesive to set for a few minutes before exposing to heavy wear or liquids.
