Also-rans
The Avery Easy Peel Printable Address Labels (asin B00006B8FZ) and the Product Fanfold 4 x 6 Direct Thermal Labels with Blue Background Paper Perforated Shipping Labels for Thermal Printers (asin B0CRD32YRZ) are good products but don't offer enough advantage over the top picks to warrant a higher ranking. The Avery labels are better suited for laser printers, and the blue background labels have a lower quantity.
