Removable self-adhesive multicoloured labels, AVERY Tabbies 5412501

AVERY Tabbies 5412501 are removable self-adhesive multi-coloured labels created for temporary identification and organisation tasks. These pre-cut labels combine a tacky adhesive that secures to paper and cardboard surfaces with a formulation that allows clean removal without leaving visible residue. The bright colour assortment improves visual sorting and colour-coding while the compact format fits file tabs, folders, storage boxes and small containers. Labels are suitable for manual application and for use with common office printers where compatible materials are accepted.

Advantages

Removable adhesive provides secure attachment during use and peels off cleanly to avoid damage to paper or coated surfaces. The multi-colour set enables quick visual categorisation and efficient organisation across files, shelving and storage. Pre-cut individual tabs simplify hand application and reduce preparation time. Surface compatibility with pens and markers allows clear handwritten identification, while printer-friendly materials support consistent printed labelling when required.

Suitable for

• Colour-coding documents, folders and binders
• Temporary labelling of storage boxes and archive containers
• Marking files and reference materials in office or classroom
• Short-term identification on envelopes, packages and samples
• Organising home paperwork, craft supplies and small items

Key specifications

• Material: paper label face with removable adhesive backing
• Finish: multi-coloured surface suitable for pens and markers
• Pre-cut format: individual tabs for manual application
• Adhesion type: removable (designed for clean peel-off)
• Intended surfaces: paper, cardboard, coated paper and similar smooth substrates

How to use

Ensure the target surface is clean, dry and free of dust or oil. Peel a single label from the backing and position it on the desired location, pressing firmly from the centre outward to remove air pockets. For handwritten identification, write directly on the label with a ballpoint pen, marker or pencil. For printed labelling, check printer compatibility with the label material and follow printer feed instructions to avoid misfeeds or jams. When removal is required, gently lift an edge and peel back slowly at a low angle to minimise stress on the underlying surface.

Recommendations

Store labels flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong heat. Avoid applying to dusty, wet, highly textured or freshly painted surfaces. For long-term or outdoor use, choose a permanent label variant rather than removable labels.
