Comment RSSA sticky situation
September 22, 2008 :: 10:43 pm :: Being a Small Business :: 2 commentsMy stickers are here! My stickers are here! I am now the proud new owner of 250 sheets of 2″ circle labels and 250 sheets of weatherproof shipping labels! My little inkjet’s got its work cut out for it!
I’m a huge fan of OnlineLabels.com, where these packs of stick-on labels obviously came from. They’ve been really responsive to product and order questions, they offer good prices and have a super-speedy turnaround.
My first order with OnlineLabels.com was a pack of weatherproof lip balm labels, and I came back this time around because of the good experience, but also because of a $5 off coupon they offered for writing up some feedback about the type of label software I’ve used! I respond well to bribes. Mine’s at the bottom dated 9/18, though actually it’s really not even worth looking at.
I’m not so crazy about OnlineLabel.com’s Maestro Label Designer software, which I tried today to make my first sheet of packaging stickers. Once I finally realized that it doesn’t matter if the image on the screen looks pixelated because it won’t actually print out that way, I ended up wasting half a sheet of stickers because the image printed higher up on the sticker towards the bottom half of the sheet which left me with not so cute excess white space.
But, the software is free for customers for a certain length of time after your purchase so it’s not that big of a deal anyway. I wouldn’t pay to use it again when my trial period expires though. Besides, they provide a bunch of templates for each product to allow you to use plenty of other software to print your labels so you’re plenty covered.
With any luck, I’ll run through these packs of sheets like there’s no tomorrow…and then I’ll be back for more! =D

I really think highly of Onlinelabels and the idea of giving $5 off to write a blog is brilliant. We do what onlinelabels does but with custom shapes and over 400 materials. At Rippedsheets.com we make many of our own materials. We sell blank sheets of labels and tags. Also, we have a full color digital press to imprint labels for optional printing of just a logo, a barcode, serialization or just custom printing of labels aand tags. Recently, we launched a new related business called Wristbandfactory.com that sells short run blank and full color, originally designed and imprinted wristbands.
Thats great that you’ve had such wonderful experience using our labels and with our company! As for Maestro Labels Designer, it’s really a work in progress, and I encourage you to send us feedback about any hangups, features or issues you experience. We are taking all suggestions into consideration and will be continously improving it! So you don’t even have to worry about renewing it, I’ve gone ahead and credited your account for an entie year of access/activation at no charge! A little known fact about OnlineLabels.com is that we can also custom manufacture any label shape or size you require as well. As for materials? With our vendor relationships, obtaining a specialized material is not a problem whatsoever. Again, thanks for being such a loyal customer, and we look forward to doing business with you again soon! – Jake
