There are certain tasks that you would expect to be done simply on a computer. At the top of this list is making labels.
In my opinion the number of label making programs on the market should rival the number of digital photography or antivirus programs on the market.
For some mysterious reason, there are hardly any good label programs out there. They are either too simple and limited in features or they are too complex and require dozens of steps that are far from intuitive.
Envelopes and mailing labels are fairly simple to make with the use of Greetings List Plus [1]. But that program only works for making address labels from an address book that must be carefully compiled or imported.
Not all labels are mailing labels. There are file labels, large sticker labels, envelope labels, etc. For these, I discovered a great tool online. Avery Design and Print Online [2] is a very simple, yet easy to use program for creating almost any style of label you might need.
In addition to being able to create simple labels from scratch, Avery also lets you choose to only fill in certain labels on the page. In other words, if you have printed labels on labels 1-4, the next time you can print labels 5-10. This allows you to print one label at a time or many labels at once.
The only real draw back, and it is kind of a big one, is that you must fill in each label individually and can not import lists of any kind. Creating a sheet of identical labels is very simple though using a checkbox.
