Years ago, I built a communications van and used the Brother labeling
machine to label stuff.  I was working around the clock and didn't have much
time to mess around.  A few months later they began curling off.  Apparantly
the labels do not always stick all that well to metal.
A tried and true method I've discovered to keep quick labels from unsticking
is to put a light coat of super glue (cyanocrylate) on the back of the
label.  If you have a painted surface it will literally chemically weld
itself on it.  I cannot remember if I used this trick or not on the Brother
label machine but have done it with the older plastic label guns.
