I am getting ready to send away all the holiday gift that I made and I just thought of the idea of sewing a clothing label on each of the items. I looked throughout the interenet but all the labels are going to take a few weeks just to make, much less get. So I resorted to believing that I may have to make my own. Does anyone know of a good, cheap (not too expensive please!) easy Custom Clothing Label maker? If there is any advice or links that you can share, that would be much appreciated! Thank you!
I really like the woven labels. Even if the price is high, please tell me! I am desperate!

This is the company Martha Stewart uses and they can do a two day rush order, if needed.

Some people turn their noses up at Martha, but she does know quality.

I am using staples lables ref: STAP14 (A$ size 210mm x 297mm) which is 2 columns with 7 in each and can’t find a match from the options given. I used to use xp and chose a custom option (I think?). Have not had to print labels for a while so don’t know if I am doing something wrong or there is no equivalant. An avery reference equal to Staples STAP14 might be useful?
Hope you can help – thanks!

Try Avery 8162 if that isn’t there then download Avery Design software from Avery.com, the label template will be in there and super easy to use.

Good luck

I purchased Avery CD Labels 8944. My software for creating Cd labels and jewel case inserts does not include the template for printing on this paper stock (8944)? How do I find this template and can it be downloaded to my ssoftware program (Nero)?

I am having the same problem. I can not locate a template for the Avery 8944 Label or the supposedly equivelent MS Word 5931. Is Avery making people buy their software for this label? If anybody has any ideas as to where I can get this, please let me know.

I am printing a set of cards, and they have a design on the front and back. I need to know how to set it up ao that I do not go over the edge on either side. I am using adobe illustrator, but I can print them in jpeg or pdf format if needs be, they are not so big that they would lose quality, but obviously I would rather keep the illustrator files!

Your best bet would be to place them in a layout program such as InDesign.

However, you need to provide more information, such as the actual dimensions, how you are going to print them, and so on. If you are printing from a home printer, you will want to run a test print to see how your printer handles double-sided printing. If you are having these printed through a professional print shop (I’m not talking about Kinkos, or an office supply store, but rather a place that just does printing, maybe uses both digital and offset printing) you could talk to them to find out how to do the best layout. Do you have a background design that needs to go to the edge? Then you will need to setup a bleed. That’s just one of the many things to consider.

As for file types, your best bet is a PDF file. When I print at home or take the file to Kinkos or Staples, I save the file as a "High Quality Print" setting and turn off the retain Illustrator editing (which means the file can be opened in Illustrator, but not edited). Be careful if you have any transparency or transparent objects (gradients and drop shadows can both qualify for this). You can get unexpected results, such as odd white boxes around objects. Check the Illustrator Help files for info on handling transparency issues.

Anyway, if you want to talk some more about this, please e-mail me through my profile and I will try to help.

When looking at the pad printing equipment market over the past few years, it is apparent that the biggest change in equipment design and implementation has been the widespread use of sealed ink cup systems over open inkwell doctor blade systems. A sealed ink cup system is essentially and inverted cup that is filled with ink and uses the sharp rim of the cup as a printing plate wiping system. As this system floods and doctors (wipes) a printing plate in the same motion, solvent evaporation and ink viscosity changes are much more limited than with doctor blade systems, making the sealed ink cup printing process significantly more predictable and manageable.

In the US marketplace sealed cup systems have dominated new equipment purchases for a number of years. This article discusses the types and applications of sealed ink cups and advantages of ceramic doctoring rings.

Nearly all sealed ink cup types can be broken into two categories, magnetic or non-magnetic. Both cup styles, when integrated into the pad printing machine yield excellent results for clean, properly doctored printing plates.

A magnetic ink cup is basically “self-doctoring unit”. With its extremely powerful magnets, it has all the necessary down-force to clean the plate requiring the machine to simply pull it back and forth. The magnetic ink cup generally has found its strength in multi-color applications because the equipment can generally be of simple construction and the multi-color pad printer more cost effective.

Non-magnetic ink cups are designed to have the pressure applied by the pad printing machine to an outer flange or centering hole in the cup. The pressure is applied by a spring-loaded system geared for one ink cup assembly. The spring-loaded system is compact and very effective, but is not as simple to deploy on a multi-color machines. The non-magnetic cups seem to have their niche in compact or high speed machine applications. In these systems, even at high speeds, the spring loaded hold-down system keeps the ink cup firmly in place while the plate moves in and out.

There has been much debate about which ring material is best for doctoring printing plates. We would guess that the marketplace is evenly divided between the carbide ring and the new generation ceramic doctoring ring. Today, both carbide rings and ceramic rings work extremely well. It is our opinion however, that the ceramic doctoring ring offers some advantages.

One of the primary advantages of the ceramic ring has a “self-lubricating” qualities that make I work equally well on thin steel and thick steel and the softer polymer printing plates. The carbide rings are generally fairly sharp and abrasive and will wear a polymer plate material quickly. Another advantage of the ceramic doctoring ring is that generally thicker, more robust and resistant to damage by during handling. Most ceramic rings taper from the inside and outside diameter to a “point” roughly .006″ leaving plenty of material near the tip. Carbide rings, however, taper from the outside diameter only to a “point” with a cross section of .003″ leaving only a minimum amount of material near the tip resulting in more damage during operator handling. The combination of the ring profile and the brittle nature of carbide make damage to rings fairly frequent during ordinary use.

In general, the quality of the products in pad printing marketplace have become very high, so regardless of the type of sealed ink cup or ring material you are bound to have a highly successful experience.
