New Use for True Block Labels

September 15, 2010
Reviewed by: PammRap
Pros: great for correction!
"On very short notice, I recently had a very small area that needed to be corrected and did not have time to redo the job; I took one of the True Block Labels and cut it to fit the area that needed to be corrected then I was able to make my correction and it was hardly noticable! I had tried correction tape and it was sticky and didn't allow me to make the correction without it being noticable and I didn't even want to think about correction fluid cuz it would be lumpy and again, I wouldn't be able to make the correction without it being noticable!
I thought this was a New Use for the True Block Labels!

Clutter Buster

June 22, 2012
Reviewed by: baglady33
"I desperately needed to take control of the clutter on my desk both at work and at home. These labels helped me take charge of my life.
I made notes on folders labeling them on the fly as I sorted through all the papers - then I sorted through the folders - and reorganized - sometimes renaming and combining folders. When I was through this process I used these color coded labels with trueblock to label the folders. The result was neat looking work area and easy to work with files. I have a few bag fulls of papers that present my next organization challenge. Fortunately I have my labels at the ready.

Labels help me organize

October 16, 2009
Reviewed by: RobinBird
Pros: ease of use
Cons: limited designs usually just plain white
"These 5366 Avery File Folder Labels are some of the best I've ever used. They are easy to use and format, easy to print, don't tend to smear even with bold fonts, and have been a great assett to me and have helped me a great deal in keeping organization amongst the three home-based businesses that my spouse and I run! The only suggestion I have for Avery is to offer these labels with perforations to enable the use of a half-page instead whole page when necessary. Labels with borders, colors, or designs/business coding, would also be additional benefits to have!"

Pros: clear labeling for hanging insert tabs
Cons: not sticking too good over previous folder
"White File Folder Labels 8366 works very well for making all the file folder labels that I have to create at work. The labels fit the file folder perfectly and there is no cutting to get them to fit on the tab. These labels also work GREAT to print the label and then stick on the card insert for the hanging file folders tab insert for easy visibility and organization in file drawers, desk drawers, and anywhere else that hanging file folders are used. Being able to do that helps me to keep files organized and easy to find and helps quickly set up files."

File Folder Labels FOR EVER

June 22, 2012
Reviewed by: KateMCC
Pros: easy to use, easy to add any design/logo/font or color
Cons: you may need to adjust paper type before printing
"I love printing on these file folder labels. I use the blank ones (no color lines). When I need color coding, I simply just add what ever shape or design to the label itself.
I think some people have had issues, but that's because printer settings or feeder trays may be skewed. Be sure to check that and if needed, change the 'paper type' to thicker paper, or labels. The 'grabber' in your printer will adjust and grab the paper slower so as not to jam or skew the print.
Easy to add any design/logo/font or color for your personalized project."

I love these Labels

March 28, 2013
Reviewed by: Khrystyne
"I use these everyday. I am an office manager for a construction company and we acquire new clients and vendors each day. These labels never fail me. There are some days I only need one and others where I need quite a few. Some of the other labels I have tried get curled up on the bottom edge and cause a printer jam. I started using these ones 2 months ago and I have had nothing but success.
It may sound strange to rave about labels but they always come out perfectly in line and No paper jams, so they really do make my work much easier.

Smudge-and-Hassle Free Printing

October 8, 2009
Reviewed by: Jols
Pros: online template available online, smudge free printing, online template fits perfectly when printing
"I wanted all our files to be organized so I got this Avery label stickers. What made me decide to buy it is because you can find the template online! You don't need other softwares or have a trial-and-error type of printing. Just search for the specific template of the product that you bought [which you can find on Avery.com], type the label names and voila! You're ready to print! It definitely saves time! Plus the type of paper isn't so glossy, so the ink easily dries up.. No need to worry about smudges."

Maybe a bad batch?

March 19, 2013
Reviewed by: Robroy
Cons: poor performance, doesn't live up to normal good quality of avery na
"Although I normally use and love Avery products, I have found that the last two boxes of TrueBlock Technology file folder labels (#5366) have performed poorly. The labels don't stick well and this is on new (never used) manila file folders. To have to constantly reapply or reinforce placment of label indicates a major issue. Never had an issue before and don't know whether it is a new formula or something else. Very unhappy with the performance. Not the usual for an Avery product."

too time consuming

March 19, 2013
Reviewed by: Filemeister
"The labels are of good quality once they are completed. The problem with the labels is that when the first line of text is entered, it automatically is placed at the bottom of the label instead of the top. The typist must then modify the label text to get the text to the top of the label. This becomes quite labor intensive, and results in the time required to complete the labels being nearly double what it would be if the text automatically was placed at the top of the label."

These Labels Are Great!

February 11, 2010
Reviewed by: TLOTCSari
"These labels boast that they "completely cover[s] everything underneath" which they certainly do. Avery quality has always been supreme and when we needed a label to cover something that we would be distributing to the public, these labels definitely fit the bill. The template was also very easy to use when opened up in Word. They are called "file folder labels", but as with most labels, can be used for other purposes. I would highly recommend Avery products to any who asked."

Reviewed by: traveler
Pros: clear information, old info not showing thru new label
"the file labels have saved a lot of time and energy when updating information on genealogy folders, I can put the new information on the family or person and stick it over old info and it is so clear and readable it helps make the job so easy. Also helps keep all files in order, with the computer printing them out you do not have to decipher what you wrote when you were in a hurry to get folder filled out and it made sence but later you are not sure of what you wrote."

Pros: blue is pretty
Cons: adheasive
"I had and have great success with all Avery products in the past & present with the exception of this box of 1500 blue file folder labels.
the adhesive does not hold up (stick) for more than 30 minuets and then it starts to peel off.
I can understand the labels falling off the folders after 3 years in non-climate controlled record retention, but these have never left my office.
I have not had this problem with the plain white labels just this one box of blue ones."

Pros: yes it makes me feel like a pro!!
Cons: no i wouldn't con ya!
"When looking for a specific file in a group of files, there is nothing that compares with these easily spotted color coded file folder labels.
So perfect for those of us who keep their world organized according to color....
Just like TV's favorite obsessive compulsive charachter "Monk", one needn't ever worry that anything is out of place or misfiled, just look for the color at the top of the file, and you WIN! (At least until someone tries to shake your hand!!)"

Save money on folders!

February 11, 2010
Reviewed by: Anonymous
Pros: saves money, helps to reduce waste
"These labels make it so easy to cut down on how many manila folders I have to utilize each month. By using them I satisfy my need to be green because I get to re-use folders where projects have been completed and where the contents of the folder are no longer needed. This also has reduced the amount of money we need to spend each month on new boxes of manila folders. A very good investment for anyone regardless of if you need it for personal or business use."

February 13, 2010
Reviewed by: jlippy
"Like many people over "a certain age," I am frequently at the doctor's office. Every visit requires at least one form be filled out and often I am required to list my prescriptions. I have eliminated the need to memorize the spelling of my meds by typing them onto file folder labels. I list them all on one label and copy to the entire column of labels. Then at the doctor's office I can just stick the label onto the form and I'm done. it's wonderful!"

Pros: inexpensive and effective
"I teach students with Special Needs. In an effort to demonstrate organization, I re-did all of my classroom folders with their help. We used the labels by printing them on the computer. This feature of being able to print them showed the students with poor handwriting that they could still have neat folders that will organize their work. While I used tthe labels as a learning experience, I also benefited by now having an organized file cabinet!!"

Color-Coding for Organization

September 3, 2010
Reviewed by: netcert
"I use this label (and a few other colors) to organize the areas of my office. Green is for general files, yellow for one committee's files, and blue for the board files. When I'm looking for a particular folder, I know exactly which color label I'm looking for and I won't mis-file it in the wrong drawer. I can easily print up a batch of labels by date or number by running the sheet though the printer and have them ready when I need them."

"In today's economy, I am always looking for ways to economize and cut expenses. Re-using file folders is one way to do this, but until I discovered labels with "TrueBlock Technology" I wasn't always happy with the way they looked.

I also like the fact that I can easily print one label or a whole sheet of labels using a label template, so there is no waste."
