Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi , What I do for my labels is design them myself on Microsoft word and then copy them to disc. I take them to a printer and have them print them on a color laser printer. Using a color laser printer, ensures they will be water/smudge proof. You will have to call around to several printers, because only certain ones will do it because it is a bit of a pain. Hope this helps. - --- Original Message ----- < > Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 11:26 AM Subject: Labels > Hi!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Most printers/faxes etc. come with software, a disk or CD that you need to install on your PC. Did your boss give you the software? If so put it into the appropriate slot and click 'run' from your startup. (If your PC is a newer one it may start running automatically) If it doesn't go to the drive the disk/CD is in and look for 'install' and click it on.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I make my own labels. I purchase blank labels on-line from Labels, Logos and More (I think that's what it's called), and I bought an inexpensive label program, something like The Label Factory, for about $20 at Office Max or something. The label program helps me make labels like the small round ones I use on my lip balm pots. I am not a real computer techie, but I can get around the program with not too much frustration! I even have clip art I like, like my logo, which I cut and paste onto my labels. Good luck! Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi there, been sorta following the label thread and just wanted to mention that Word Perfect believe it or not has a simple label program in it and it actually formats my little round sample labels better than the 2 Print Shop programs I have, only because it lets you alter the template parameters, don't know if that helps or not. I get the high gloss 3 x 4 rectangles and they work for almost every other label I need (8 oz. or 4 oz. bottles etc) e xcept for waterproof. I even started using the rectangles for body butter labels on the front of the tub because the 3 in. round labels were always off just enough to be noticeable and in stacking they got trashed. If I already mentioned this, sorry, but I get the 6606 White Permanent Adhesive Inkjet box for $29 from Desk Top Labels out of MN and that's a very competitive price. I spent bundles of time, money and frustration on kraft and clear labels only to end up with these. They are smudgeproof also. Anyhow hope that helps a bit also.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I use Avery labels. I had that problem at first too. Now when I work with labels, I clean the bottle or jar with a spray of alcohol, then spray my fingers also with alcohol. Any grease or oil will inhibit the label from sticking. - I was wondering if there is a labeling product out there that will actually stick to plastic jars and bottles? I've been using the packing tape method and am very frustrated with the creases I sometimes get. Any help would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I have also found that using shrink bands helps a lot. Keeps the labels on for sure, and makes them much more durable. There are gobs of different sizes out there. t > > Hi everyone, > > I was wondering if there is a labeling product out there that will > actually > stick to plastic jars and bottles?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I just glue on paper labels, and to get them to stick to a shiny surface I sand it a little.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 << Dear Perfume Artists, What kind of labels are you making and using on your perfume bottles and other toiletry bottles & jars?>> Hi, I've been using matte white weatherproof labels for my rectangular spray perfume bottles. I have an HP office jet all in one color printer that does a really great job. I've been doing black and white art nouveau designs on the labels . I've been thinking about trying clear labels for my glass perfume bottles. Let me know if you have success with that. =) Cheers, Serena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I've been thinking about trying clear labels for my glass perfume bottles. Let me know if you have success with that. =) There is special material for clear labels that won't smear with the alcohol and oil. I did a lot of research a while ago and found a few custom label companies. They will send you samples to test (there are many different weights to choose from depending on the size of your bottle) and they will not only custom cut to your specific needs but design a template specifically for you. Also there are different materials designed for laserjet printers as opposed to injet. Since I believe we are not supposed to share websites of suppliers for the shared group, please feel free to contact me directly for the information.

Hi Faith: Feel free to post a link to the supplier in the Links section, and announce it in the group. Occasional mentions of suppliers are fine, but discussions, pro and con, are discouraged, because they can become flame wars. We all welcome any links to good suppliers, so please let us all know.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Wow, that's odd. I've NEVER heard anyone say this at ANY of the many conferences or workshops I've been to. Furthermore, those adults who think and believe this are mistaken. I still say it's a spectrum disorder, not a label to be branded on a person. But tht's my opinion, but it's based on many observations of how our kids are treated because of stereotypical philosophy/ies translating into negative treatment of our kids Take care nWade Rankin <injectingsense@...> wrote: Oddly enough, this is one of the most heated debates in the autismworld.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 //based on many observations of how our kids are treated because of stereotypical philosophy/ies translating into negative treatment of our kids// n you are indeed 100% on target. Many disability advocacy groups have outlined the detrimental effects of using generalization semantics and espouse the more dignified description of 'the individual has autism' vs. 'he's autistic'. Any reasonable person can discern saying "Hi this is -he's diabetic" would be a violation of basic dignity vs " has diabetes". It's that catch all generalization semantic (I've always wondered who coined the word 'autism' and WHY) that has prevented our kids from having the independent basic learning and medical needs . They are disregarded and dismissed with the 699 autism code. While other children have their learning disabilities (dysgraphia, dysarthia, etc) worked with...or their CAPD , and articulation problems addressed those who are called autistic don't.(rarely someone will see the person behind the label) Insurance companies deny basic physicals, and eye exams under the 699 code. It's a major deterrent to getting any high quality much less normal treatment to be grouped under the label autistic. Particularly after *certain experts* went on National TV to tell the world how violent and awful autistic people are. I'd like to see the word " autistic" head south permanently.

Many disability advocacy groups have outlined the detrimental effects of using generalization semantics and espouse the more dignified description of 'the individual has autism' vs. 'he's autistic'. Outlining assertions based on vague " obervations " are not the same as evidence. Like I said, let's see real evidence of harm. Produce some studies, or better yet, produce some victims. I have yet to see either in support of this. Assertion, no matter how politically correct sounding it is, is no basis for browbeating people into changing their proper usage and style of language. Autistics have enough real problems, they don't need contrived ones piled on top by people trying to affect a moral high ground for political advantage.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Wanted to share about some wonderful, re-usable labels I found called " Label Once, Erasable Labels for Food Storage " (by Multicomp). I have been using them for years and they go through the dishwasher great. They come with a permanent marker and eraser. You label, then erase to change the label. (Any eraser works) It says they are dishwahser, microwave and freezer safe. They are the most convenient and efficient labeling system I have ever found.
