Staples® CD/DVD Label Kit

Comments about Staples® CD/DVD Label Kit:

I have a package of these labels in the closet, but no software. With my xyz retailer labels, and Avery labels, its easy to download a Word template online. I type the number into google, if its not already in word, and its 1 click away.

But with these, can't find a template on the Staples website, and I can't on google.

Seems I need some special software, which is long ago lost on another computer.

Software not that great - had problems getting everything to line up where we needed it (we use graphics and text) - found it was easier to create a label in Adobe Photoshop than using this software.....now, on to the actual labels themselves. They're a bit on the thin side so if your CD is not all silver (silver color and silver text), any color will show through, so watch what brand CD you buy for this (we got the HP CDs which are blue and white - big mistake). Doesn't look very professional if the original CD face shows through... but I do love the little CD applicator device (sold separately) that helps you align the CD label as you apply it to the CD - that little item is worth every penny you spend on it.

CD labels are good quality. The samples of the CD case inserts were a nice addition. The alignment tool is hard to use. The software is not very flexable and you have to mess with it a lot to get what you want. It is easy if you do the preset designs.

Perhaps this is wonderful for package labeling. I purchased it for labeling CD's and wasted an entire weekend trying to get what I wanted on the CD label. The option to import pictures is there, but I was unable to actually open a file to do so. I also wanted the track information to be on the label, but this program does not allow for any fields other than what is provided (and that isn't one of the options.) I finally downloaded AudioLabel from the internet and it's a fantastic program. The good thing is the labels created on AudioLabel fit perfectly on the Staples labels in the box, so all was not lost. The little gizmo provided by LabelWhiz works OK but one does need a steady hand to be able to use it. My philosophy is to spend a bit more to get a lot more.

I have tracked the Staples number 501798, that lead me to there Mfg. Labels Online, there cross over said to use Avery-5824 that was Wrong ! ! It should have been "Avery 8931" That will align the X & Y for the disk. BUT I use CorelDRAW SuiteX4 and there are no templates. It is posable to write my own template, but then where would the savings be? Ulead By Corel also has no template for this product.
