Printing Labels - Best place to buy printed labels onlineBefore laser printers and inkjet printers, it was tough to print out your own custom labels. People tend to use labels mostly for shipping and packaging uses, with more and more labels now being designed to be read by machine with barcodes and other marking devices. Equally as popular are labels for home use - for mailing lists, addresses, CD labels, DVD labels, index dividers, and more. One of the keys to printing labels properly is having the right software. Most labels come in specific size and shape formats, and unless your software matches up the print output exactly within the dimensions of the peel-off area of the labels, you have a problem. Avery is the leading brand of self-stick labels, and their formats are the dominant ones.
Inkjet and Laser LabelsPlanetLabel.com makes preprinted roll labels, laser printer labels, and inkjet labels. Their inkjet labels include CD-ROM labels with a repositionable adhesive - comes in handy if you've ever tried to place a circular label with perfection! Most of their products are specialized, like high-gloss labels, translucent labels, and thermal labels. For regular home use of labels and replacement label supplies, check out OnlineLabels.com. They have more than 60 label sized to choose from that are compatible with Avery and Maco formats at a lower price. They have circular and oval labels, round cornered labels, CD and DVD labels, and more. All labels are available in various colors, fluorescent colors, clear, weatherproof, gold and silver, and gloss.Find Label SoftwareIf you are printing out a mailing list on labels, you need some sort of labeling software to align everything properly on the size of labels you intend to use. There are some Microsoft Word templates that do a decent job of this, assuming you know how to use the mail merge function to get your data into the templates. The label templates are designed to work with the standard Avery label formats. NiceLabel.com offers label software that is compatible with Avery, CAB, Comtron, Datamax, Eltron, Intermec, SATO, TSC and Zebra, and is aimed more at the label designer looking to add graphics, bar codes, and more to their printed labels.
