I use a lot of the shipping size labels for mailing packages to labelling boxes for storage. I’ve always used only the Dymo brand for all sizes, shipping, mailing and file labels. I’ve had bad experiences using alternative non manufacturer products, most notably photo papers. But the cost of these labels and the cost of the Dymo brand make this a low cost risk. Well, I couldn’t be happier about this product. It prints fine in my Dymo Label Writer 450 Twin Turbo. The print quality is the same but that isn’t a real concern since we are not talking artwork here. My may concern was if it would jam or if the glue wouldn’t hold. The first label didn’t load properly, but after trimming the leading edge it went in fine. The glue is as good as the Dymo brand and I haven’t had any issues with labels coming off from plastic or cardboard packaging.The only differences I can see is that the backing paper on the Dymo brand feels a bit thicker or more stiff which makes it easier to load, but not a deal breaker. The finish of the labels also appears slightly different with the Dymo being a bit duller. The Dymo has a bit of a sheen to it and feels ‘slicker’. This makes the Dymo also appear a bit whiter, probably because of the slight gloss. Again, none of these are a major concern. They are after all just labels.Bottom line, if I had a choice and expense wasn’t an issue, I would of course go with the Dymo brand. A/B testing I prefer the Dymo over this alternate brand. Side by side going on quality and appearance alone, Dymo would be 5 Star and this brand 4 to 4.5 Stars. But given the serious cost difference, I elevate this product to 5 Stars.By the way, the manufacturer offers a free roll for writing a review. But unlike Bryk, they don’t insist on a 5 star rating. They just ask if you are satisfied write a review. If dissatisfied, contact them. The free roll did not prompt me to write this review. Just passing on a great deal for shipping labels for use on Dymo Label Writers.
