Sticky notes, also referred to by many as stickers, were invented nearly 50 years ago. And all this time people are using them incorrectly!
Small, multi-colored notepads made up of easy-to-peel adhesive-edged pages are great for making quick notes, reminders and alerts. You simply write the necessary information on a piece of paper, tear it off, and then stick it on a monitor, notice board, refrigerator, or any other place where you will see it. It seems to be nothing complicated, right?
Do not hurry.
Why are we using stickers the wrong way?
Here's a regular sticky notepad.
Usually we take the edge of the leaf and tear it off in a direction perpendicular to the adhesive side.
As a result, it curls like this.
And after gluing, such a sticker protrudes, does not hold well and may even fall off.
How to use stickers correctly
Let's try to separate the sheet by applying force not across, but along the adhesive side.
The resulting sheet has a perfectly even shape without any twists and bends.
And, of course, it adheres tightly and firmly to any surface.
See what a huge difference there is between the left and right leaflets!
Remember this little secret and finally start using the stickers correctly. You can even tell others about it - we do not mind.
