If you print a lable with a inkjet printer and stick it to the outside of a
parcel, if the label gets wet the ink runs making it unreadiable. Therfore
its a much better idea to use an indeliable pen if you dont have a laser
printer.

Also in regards to tatty parcels, Ive seen stuff returned from couriers
(with good reputations) that was sent out origionally in brand new boxes
etc.. and they look very tatty due to the couriers treatment.

Just my 2p.

Just buy a bunch of "Documents Enclosed" labels. Print up the label on an
inkjet, the envelope sticks to the parcel, insert the printout and seal the
top. Bingo, no chance of rain affecting it.

Hair spray is very effective for waterproofing address labels. Tesco sell a
400ml spray for 69p - much cheaper than fixatives.

Since I have several thousand of the doc enclosed labels left, I'll stick to
them.
