How to Make DVD Labels Online

Making DVD labels helps you tell the difference between DVDs.

Creating labels for DVDs gives you or the purchaser of your DVDs the ability to tell one DVD from the next. Deciding to make and order DVD labels online allows you to access better technologies, fonts, colors and paper textures. Using these options can assist you in creating more professional-looking DVD labels than a standard program and at-home printer can produce.

Instructions

1. Select an online DVD or CD label creation service. Usually, an online service that provides label printing also prints DVD labels, but that is not always the case. Browse through the site to ensure it offers what you are looking for. Focus on quality, cost and design options.

2. Select the size of DVD label you want to make. Although most CDs and DVDs are the same size, some are available in various smaller sizes, and some have different sized holes in the center. Measure the dimensions of the DVDs you will put the labels on to ensure a proper fit.

3. Select a background color for your labels. Make sure this color won't interfere with other text, images or clip art you want to put on the label.

4. Add text to your label. Add text boxes wherever you want the text to display on the label, and type in the information. Change the font and size of the text and decide whether to center it, or justify it to one side or the other. If you want the words on your label to appear vertical or angled instead of horizontal, rotate the text boxes to angle the words left, right, up or down.

5. Upload images from your computer, or add clip art. Resize and arrange the different elements of your label until all the elements fit together and the label has a professional appearance.
