Kelly Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I ordered a bunch of labels from www.onlinelabels.com only to discovery the word template is too difficult to use and my label program doesn't allow me to adjust the top and bottom margins to make my own templates.Does anyone use the 2" Round labels from this source and if you aquired a working template would you mind sharing or telling me how you did it?TIA for any and all help!!Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 The best program I have found is the free download from Avery Label. You can go in and set up your own sizes and everything. Works great for me. I believe labelsonline even tells you the -- well for a better word which I can't think now - dimensions to use. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 The only problem I'm having (already have the avery program) I can't find a template already made for 2" labels, and so I created my own template but the problem is, and maybe I'm missing something, but there is no way in the Avery program to set the top and bottom margins, so when I print the labels they are off by about 1/4".

eugenia Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 In Avery, choose label "custom" and you can change all the margins.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugtussle Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Most inkjet printers will not print inside the 1/4" margin on the 2 inch circles. I was never able to use mine. My laser does a little better but still cuts off left & right side. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 If you will go into labelsonline and click on their templets and then select the templet for the size label you have it will show you all 4 margins. Just write them down and then go to avery and select design from scratch and then go in and create your custom label using those same figures they show. You may have to tweak them a little but they will work. Mine print fine on my epson printer - which is an older model. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 OH NO these are what I want to order. Been using the mailing labels for tops of jars but want these that will be uniform and round for the lids. I am getting ready to do a show but can use the old ones but when I send out my wholesale letter and sample I need the round. This is the one thing that kept me from going on and ordering. Just this debating on what to get and WILL it work or NOT with my computer/printer. I guess I will go for it and follow these instructions. I know one company will do the printing but I want to print them when I need them and not run out at the last minute. Seems I can keep better track that way.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I wonder if there's anyone who has ever successfully used their templates without having to manipulate them.I ended up creating my own template in Illustrator because the templates were uselss as far as I was concerned. Well, maybe their template would work if the labels were centered properly on their sheet. I discovered the top and bottom margins on the labels weren't even.

fisherca22 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I bought Art Explosion Label Factory Deluxe 3.0 from bestbuy for 19.99 has lots of templates and 30,000 clip art, even have templates you can custom design to your needs. And the software is pretty easy to use. Also check out www.labelsbythesheet.com, they have lots of templates for circles but, they are square when you open them, but they on there.

Cissy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Lynn, how many round labels do you need, what color and size, for your jars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
