1 Decide on approximate label area on container. Lay container on its side if easier to access desired surface.Apply Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol on a clean Rag/Cloth and wipe Label Application Area.

3 If container is made of plastic, flame treat Label ApplicationArea with hand Flame Torch. Apply flame to surface by holding torch 4-6 inches above surface and moving back and forth over area until entire label area has been treated once over.

Note: Only plastic containers require flame treating. This process releases gases in the plastic to help prevent bubbles and increase adhesion.

Note: Smaller labels can be applied without Steps 4-6. If label is approx. 7 inches or smaller in both directions carrier sheet (backing) can be removed and label placed on surface. Larger or squared images may go on crooked if placement area is not measured first.

Align label on the container. Measure if necessary. Once the Label is in place, secure it by taping the left edge with 1” all purpose Masking Tape (keep at least 3/8” of tape over the Label edge) – this will keep your Label secure and will create a “hinge” used in Steps 6-7.

Holding the right side of the Label, fold the Label at the tape hinge and peel off the carrier sheet (backing).

While pulling slightly tight, begin to lay the image flat down on desired surface. Starting with the left side, beside the tape, use a Label Squeegee, and squeegee with pressure toward the right. Remove the Masking Tape on the left side.

Squeegee the entire label with pressure from center toward the edges several times over to increase adhesion.

Carefully remove the masking (top covering) from the label.
