What does Surface Safe mean?

Surface Safe products are made with removable adhesive that is formulated specifically to stick securely and remove cleanly from recommended surfaces. That means that when it’s time to remove them, there is no sticky residue to scrape off or damage to the surface. All Surface Safe products work on metal and glass. However, it’s important to remember that all surfaces are not created equal. So we have different Surface Safe products to deal with special surfaces that are generally a problem for generic removable labels.

Recommended surfaces for Surface Safe products

Certain plastics require a specific type of adhesive formula. Avery Surface Safe Table & Chair Signs are ideal for fabric office chairs, glass, metal and hard plastics. On the other hand, walls are one of the most difficult surfaces for generic removable labels. That’s why we created special products designed to stick and remove cleanly from common wall surfaces. DIY Sign Labels, Preprinted Wall Signs, Industrial Safety Signs, Custom Printed Signs & Decals, and Blank Printable Signs work on drywall, painted walls, tinted glass, plain glass and metal surfaces.
