Labels do not need an adhesive to stick to a flat surface. The static charge keeps your label adhered well to glass, mirrors or a smooth surface. They can be removed easily and reused, too. Specify if you want a label to stick to the front of the glass (the label is on top of the glass) or on the back (the label is seen through the glass). |
