Label making software

(1/2) > >>

techidave:
I have some office staff that do not like to make labels with Excel / Word.  Is there a free program that someone can recommend that would be simpler?  I found a demo several years back that was simple and worked really well.

I am think along the lines of address labels and perhaps any other type of labels.

IainB:
I have to ask: What do you need the labels for, and why would you be constrained to making/printing them out of Excel/Word? Describing more about the context of your requirements could help people to better understand your requirements and what you might be looking for.

Regardless, this search looked like it could potentially be useful for your purposes - the Avery software especially: free software for printing labels and envelopes

Also, though I am unsure whether this will be of any use or whether you have already tried it, a search in Excel 2013 for online templates for "labels" produced this (below), which looked like it could be quite relevant:

An old Avery for free: http://download.cnet.com/DesignPro-Limited-Edition/3000-6675_4-10179048.html , but I have never tested it.

or maybe pay to have the labels printed & mailed to you! http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Labels/Addressing-Labels

mouser:
if you are just doing one-off labels (as opposed to whole sheets of them at a time), i'm a huge fan of these dedicated Dymo label printers:

Looks like Avery has a current version of their (I believe free) software. http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Templates-%26-Software/Software/Avery-Design--Print.htm

And a print online option as well http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Templates-%26-Software/Software/Avery-Design--Print-Online.htm

I haven't needed to use it for anything in years, but it was a go-to back when I had call for it.
