RE: labels for seeds
I use regular address labels (Avery 1" x 2.63"), but it really is up to
you. Use what is most convenient, or what fits best on the envelope. I
can say that I like it best when I get a seed envelope with an actual
color photo of the pumpkin printed on the label, especially when the
photo is clear (not printed in "draft" format). This is not required
though. The thing most people need is just the weight-name-year (uow or
dmg) and the cross, also with weight-name-year.
Microsoft Word has a label printing tool. When you open up a new word
document, click on "Tools" at the top, select "Letters and Mailings,"
and then select "Envelopes and Labels." The program will allow you to
choose from dozens of label brands, and the various label sizes they
make. I think I used this program last year to print labels >>>with a
photo<<<, but I am not sure, so I can't say if you can paste a picture
into it or not. It's possible that I used a program called "My Label
Maker Pro," or Avery's label software which they sometimes bundle with
the labels. Avery's software is pretty easy to use.
Hope that is helpful.

Hey Group
I am starting to get our seeds ready to put in the little coin
envelopes. I
was wondering what size Labels everyone likes to use or which Brand and
product number. Also what programs and which templates do you use to
print
them up with? Hopefully we can get a few different ideas on this and why
you
like a certain size. Also where is a good place to get clip art to use
on the
labels?
