Here's a little trick that works really well for those types of labels.  Have 
you watched professional wrappers at Christmas time curling ribbon with a  pair 
of scissors?  It works for removing the backing from the labels as well.  Hold 
the backing of the label against the side of a pair of scissors / knife / even 
a key with some sharper points on it, and drag it across the edge.  This will 
make the ends separate a little bit, allowing you to take hold and easily 
separate the pieces.

Check out this site that shows it being done with scissors if you've never seen 
it

Make sure it's the backing side being scraped across the scissors, not the 
printed side.

ok, this is horribly pragmatic, but it's real.  yesterday i was in the westin 
playing rack and stack for five hours.  an horrifyingly large amount of my time 
was spent trying to peel apart labels made on my portable brother label tape 
maker, yes peeling the backing from a little label so remote hands could easily 
confirm a server they were going to attack.

is there a trick?  is there a (not expensive) different labeling machine or 
technique i should use?
