RipLip Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I was wondering if anybody had any good ideas of how to label your bags with what is in it. i.e. 6", 5", 4" or what type of color it is. I have been using little Avery labels from staples but it seems llike there should be an easier way. I did a search but really couldn't find anything. Thanks for the help.

wildtail97 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Online Labels - Labels for laser and inkjet printers! Compatible with all popular software program for printing labels! This site has just about any label you can think of, pretty good prices too. They also carry waterproof labels that work great. As far as what to put on the label, I would look into what other guys put on their bags. I am a designer so I dont have a problem putting that kind of thing together. Let me know if you need some help on label design or logo design for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I use the 2"x4" peel offs. I put my logo and the color and that's it. I used to put what type of bait, color, etc. and was driving myself crazy. All of my orders are internet sale so they know what type of bait they ordered. I seem to spend as much time with the packaging process as I do pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipLip Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Last year I used the Avery labels from Staples and printing on them with my computer but it seemed to be a pain in the butt everytime with the prints not being on the label, not centered, half on the label and the other half on the next and stupid issues like that. The label was 1/2" x 1" and yes it does seem like you spend as much time as packaging as you do pouring because I think you do. It is a pain but if thats the way you plan it then anything else will be under your own standards and you will not be happy with what your doing. If that makes any sense to anyone. I think i'm going back to Staples and maybe get the same thing but talk to someone about my issues with the computer. It's probably just me.

Bogbaits Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 hey riplip,I had the same problem but all you have to do is change the margin settings in the print preferences,It may take a few sheets until you get it all centered but well worth it then just save the setting and name it foer that label,john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitbull Baits Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I just printed 35 sheets had one bad one a little off. That was from me not watching them and caught on the printe paper holder. The temp plate should already be on your computer. for the 2x4 shipping labels the number is 8163. If you have any questions finding it let me know. I have Crapy Windows Vista it is hard to find but their in their. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I use a lable I make on works and print it out on paper, 8 per page, then use a copy machine and copy a bunch on a heavier stock.. not card stock but it mite be cover stock.. then have to cut um out.. then fold over and staple to the bag.. that mite take longer than a sticker lable. packaging is time consuming. I use different colors on different baits. Makes the display rack look kinda neat..and it makes the different baits stand out from each other.

RipLip Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I think I'm going to try the 3/4" round labels that are peel and stick because the 1 X 4's are way too large just to specify length and color and I don't want to cut every label either. Either way it will be time consuming. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Believe me, I realize the hassle but how will anybody know how to contact you for more baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I use many different Avery labels for our jigs, color stickers, and main labels and they work pretty well. Just make sure that when you go to Print to check the Preferences and that it is set to Labels. I had a lot of trouble with colors running like it was using too much ink until I changed this setting. Now there is no more running or rubbing off. I'm just using a color HP laser printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalo01 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I go to local print shop that has a color lazer printer and print 12x18 sheets of sticker paper (used for posters). The background is a dark color and I leave tiny white blocks next to de diferent models (7.5" ribbon tail, 4" craw, etc) and larger block to write in the number of pieces. One label works for everything. Each page costs me about $.80 and I get 27 4"X3"(more or less) lables out of each sheet. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
