Things You'll Need:
- Pre-gummed labels for printing
- Computer and printer
- Digital camera
-
Step 1
Design your own return address labels by using digital imaging software to shrink the selected photo to a size small enough for printing on the labels.
-
Step 2
Add the photo to a desktop publishing template sized for return address labels. The standard label size is 1 3/4 inches long by 1/2 inch tall.
-
Step 3
Type the desired name and return address into the space reserved for the printed label next to the photo.
-
Step 4
Set up the template for printing labels by making one column of 20 copies of your return address and photo.
-
Step 5
Copy and paste the column of 20 labels three more times so you have four columns of 20 labels each, totaling 80 labels. This is the number of labels on a standard sheet of pre-gummed return address labels for printing.
-
Step 6
Set the vertical spacing between labels at 0 inch and the horizontal spacing at 0.28125 inch.
-
Step 7
Set the vertical pitch at 0.5 inch and the horizontal pitch at 2.03125 inch.
-
Step 8
Set the margins at 1/2 inch for top and bottom and 1/3 inch for left and right.
-
Step 9
Place a test sheet of blank address labels into the printer feed tray.
-
Step 10
Print the labels, and inspect the sheet to ensure proper alignment of the photo and return address on each label.
-
Step 11
Repeat the printing process to produce as many labels as desired.
