Rule 19?

 

 

 

Just do it: Sticker the message

Right click on a graphic to either Save Image (download it) or Copy Image. You can then print the graphic on Avery mailing labels - or a similar product. Avery's Design Pro software makes it a breeze to create labels, business cards, etc. (Try to find a package of Avery labels that includes the Design Pro software. Or, download a free copy of Design Pro Limited - i gather 'limited' just means you get fewer pre-designed templates.)

Instructions below show how easy it is to use Avery Design Pro.

For the Bring Me Home army men project, right-click one of these links to download: their page of labels (pdf file) or, if you are using Avery Design Pro, you can use this (zdp file) shown right. For either file, you'll want to use Avery paper stock 5167/8167 - or any other brand that has 80 labels to a page, ½" x 1 ¾". (There are 2 army men stickers per label.)

Some labels - resized to fit on this page are difficult to read here; they'll print fine if you expand them.

Instructions for printing labels

Avery has lots of mailing label sizes to choose from. Every Avery package has a product number at top right. I use product #8160 to make envelope and return-address stickers; the stickers are 1" x 2 5/8". Here are the steps for using Avery Design Pro to set up your label and print an entire sheet or any number of individual labels.

  1. Open Design Pro, and click on Create a Project from Scratch. Use Template options at the top of the Select Template dialog box to choose a product category (like Ink Jet and Laser Labels, as shown below). Then select your label product among the item numbers in that category, listed at the bottom (eg, 8160). (If you use another company's stock, just find the Avery template that matches it.) Click OK.



    Design Pro will open up a workspace for you to create your label:

  2. (You can use the tools at the top and left-side of the workspace to create a custom label.) If you downloaded a graphic, click Insert/Image from File and use the navigation buttons at the top of the Insert Picture dialog box to locate the file on your computer, select it and click Enter. Quickest method if you don't want to save the image: on this page, right-click on the image you want to use, choose Copy Image, then Paste it onto the label space in Design Pro. Now, right-click the image and choose "size to template'; or right-click and select Properties and then increase the size using the Properties Dialog box.



  3. To print one or more labels, click File/Print. Design Pro returns the Print dialog box. The image below illustrates the beauty of Design Pro. The Print dialog box lets you choose a label position to start printing from (handy if you already printed some labels from a sheet of paper). You can print a number of labels, or a number of whole sheets (in this case, 30 labels per sheet). I like to print 1 draft label first, to make sure everything looks good (you could do that on regular paper, holding your draft output up to the Avery paper to verify that label placement is correct).

    Load your paper into the printer, optionally edit Properties (eg on the HP, you can print in Draft, Normal, or Best mode) and click OK to print.



  4. Save your project so you can print more labels later.
