heirloomoriginals Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I just got my oval labels for my lotion and body washes. I usually use Print Shop for my labels, but am having trouble designing a template. Does anyone use my program or can give me any pointers? I am going to attempt to download Avery Design Pro tonight (we still have dial-up) and follow the instructions from LBTS.Any tips would be great!Thanks,Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi, The same thing happened to me and did not have the time to get the template thing figured out. So......I downloaded the Avery Design Pro and ended up loving their software. I have to say though that I have trouble with the alignment with the Labels by the Sheet's labels. I did not have as much trouble with the ones from another place where I got them....can't remember if it was OnlineLabels.com or not. It is the waterproof round labels that I have trouble with through Labels by The Sheet. Again, I have to say that Avery Design Pro is user friendly. I believe I like it better in some ways than Print Shop. Sorry I cannot help you with the template. If I would have had more time, I would have tried harder but it can be a pain in the behind. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Labels by the Sheet has templates on their website, for at least somel of the labels they sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJo Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I just went thru this. I also have Print Shop and make custom labels. I first printed the template on the Labels by the sheet website--the one with the spacing. I think if you click on the picture of the label, it will give you the spacing.Then in Print Shop, go to Tools then custom label wizard. I found the template the closest matched the format I was looking for. Just go thru the wizard and it will take you step by step. **Remember to rename the labels when it asks for it**It still took some tweaking, but that is how I did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 I am using Printshop 15, but just got a free version of Printshop 21. Are you all using a better version? I would love to upgrade, but can't afford it right now. I think I will tryAvery Design Pro for now.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane42 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I ordered my last labels from labelsbythesheet.com. Two of the templates worked great, but I could not get the 1 1/2" circle template to line up right. Also had trouble with the large rectangular one. I don't work with these often, so it has been a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVida Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have Label Factory.... it's a great program for $20.00 ... got it from Best Buy.... it's on-line. You're able to customize sizing, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks LaVida. I think I may have seen it at Walmart, but haven't had a chance to look since (and I just got back from there, LOL). I just need to get my first labels made so I can get my lotions and body wash ready for christmas.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 OMG don't even talk to me about labels LOL I was pulling my hair out for hours yesterday. I give up. Taking a break today. Hmmmmm how many labels did I waste. Many:cry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanmala Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I use Printmaster 10 and have for years. It's a fantastic print program that works great on just about every label size. :smiley2: It also comes with graphics and backgrounds.

Scent Cellar Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I like PrintMaster also and have version Platinum 15. Lots of clip art to choose from and so easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 I used Printmaster Gold before, but it broke, so I bought Print Shop. I am going to try Avery Design Pro but if that doesn't work, i will try one of the others mentioned. I already have my logo designed, so I just need to get it transferred to my other programs.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotJustFragrances Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If you go to planet labels or online labels they have templates that work in MS word if you have it, just find the layout you have and download it.It has always worked for me, even if it wasn't a label I bought from themThen I have a folder that I call templates and I save the blanks to there for future use.

heirloomoriginals Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 I think I found templates that work with Printshop from Online Labels! I got the clear ovals for sure and am working on the Ivory I am using on the front of my bottles. I will post pics when I get the totally done! Thanks for all your suggestions!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 OMG don't even talk to me about labels LOL I was pulling my hair out for hours yesterday. I give up. Taking a break today. Hmmmmm how many labels did I waste. Many:cry2:What I do is print the labels I make on a plain sheet of paper and then put the plain sheet over the labels, go to the window and see if they fit. I do a whole sheet to see if they all line up and what needs to be tweaked.A little more time consuming but saves on labels!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
