Tony:
If you go to The Kim Komando Show – Free Tips, Downloads, Reviews, Software and Advice for Your Digital Lifestyle there is in the free download section a label maker that is an overlay for Microsoft Word® that is tops in my book. It is Avery Label Wizard from the Avery Label Company.

It has a variety of different label types and business card blanks, etc. After you download it, it just puts a little box on your toolboar with a red "A". Double click and you're on the way.

Lil' help?


Thanks!

I found it. Go to the site, click on downloads and in Search Type in Avery Label Wizard. It will bring up what you need. Or you can go to Avery.com. I use this all the time. If you have Microsoft Word Task Launcher, click on templates and you will get templates you can work with. Use this all the time.

Tony,

I dont know about stick on labels, but Rockler makes some branding irons that they will customize with all of your info. They have several different designs, some pretty ornate looking. They make a model that you torch heat, and one that has a electric heating element built in to it. they range from around $35.00 to around $110.00

I use a label program and print my info on clear stock. The wood shows through so your info looks like it has been printed on the piece. If you're putting the label on a dark surface then change the color of the font so it can be seen.

I got a rubber stamp for free online. Check out Vistaprint.com . They offer a lot of free stuff including business cards. Free as a means of advertising.

G'day Tony,
I also got a stamp from Vistaprint, "Free". Be warned, don't click on of their other options though. I checked the site out pretty good prior to ordering, as "Free" always arouses suspicions in me.
The way they make their Money is by the advertising on the site. and on selling your details.

VistaPrint Scam - Sharing CC Information, etc.
I know a lot of musicians who use VistaPrint for their business cards. I'm one of them. I recently got scammed by VistaPrint, and want warn others about how the scam works, and encourage people to take their business elsewhere.

Last November, I noticed a $14.95 charge on my credit card by a company called "Business Max". I almost missed it, since I buy alot of office supplies at Office Max...

When I called the number next to the charge, I was told I had purchased their "service", but that if I didn't want it, I could cancel and receive a full refund.

YES! Cancel the service and give me a refund!

I didn't even ask what the service was, since I knew I hadn't ordered anything from them. The following month, a credit for $14.95 showed up on my CC statement. I thought that was the end of it.

Well, I was just going over 2008's expenses for my taxes, and noticed 10 MONTHS worth of those $14.95 charges prior to the month that I cancelled!

I called the number next to the charge on my bank statement, and spoke to a customer service person at Business Max who said they would immediately credit my account for the full 10 months... Again, no questions asked.

This time, I asked how they had gotten my information, and I was told that I had signed up with their service through VistaPrint...

I have ordered business cards through VistaPrint, but I never ordered any additional services... So I asked, "What are these additional services?"

I was told they provide online coupons simimlar to the kind you can get for free at many other places... I would NEVER sign up for anything like this, so it's pretty clear that VistaPrint is sharing customer CC information without explicit permission.

I am normally pretty careful about this sort of thing, but it's embarrassing to admit that these charges went unnoticed for nearly a year!

The fact that they were quick to offer a no-questions-asked-refund tells me that they know they are scamming people, and they are doing their best to stay under the radar.

Anyway, you can find alot more information about VistaPrint's scamming activities on the Internet:
