I gave up on the dymo plastic labels because even after creating the text for the label, I had a terrible time trying to get the backing off the label.  The vinyl protective shield labels come off the roll pretty easily and hold on for dear life to whatever I stick them to so far.

All through  high school, college, a teaching career, rehab instructor, then busy mom, I used a standard spiral notebook you get at the store.
