The Secret To Removing Label Backing
Getting the backing off a label is easy, if you take the right approach.
There have been times when I've wrinkled two or three corners trying to peel the backing off a label. The secret is to not peel the back from the label, but to peel the label from the backing.
No, that isn't saying the same thing two different ways.
When you attempt to peel the backing off a label, you are trying to bend and peel off a heavier, thicker material (the backing) from a thinner material (the label). Instead of the backing peeling off, the label tends to conform to whatever shape the backing takes and remains stuck on the backing material.
However, if you peel the thinner label material off the stiffer backing material, the label is much easier to get off of the backing. Try it. It works great.
