JACookie Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hello Friends, I am a soapmaker and wanted to create some new labels. I am specifically having problems with a lip balm label. The label size is 1.5x1 inch. Do you have any suggestions as how to create this? Is it possible? I currently make them in word, but wanted to use a new label I created in photoshop. In word I have them seperated out so I can get about 30 labels out of one sheet of paper. I use the same process for lotion labels, soap labels, etc. I have the label in a 12x12 to start and want to make it small, perferably on one sheet of paper. I am fairly new to photoshop, but was hoping this was possible. I wasn't sure if there was a scrap girls label tool that might also do this. Thanks, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiles Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Avery has finally added some .psd templates for their return address labels. That would give you much more scope to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnBK Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I was thinking along the same lines as Gayle...can you use a ready made return address label sheet? It might take a little adjusting to get the spacing right, but I'm sure it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiza126 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Are you using paper with pre-cut label spaces? Or are you printing on a full-size sticky sheet? Or just plain paper that you will apply your own adhesive to?? You can try starting with a blank document in the size you want for the label - 1.5 x 1 inch. Design your label just as you want it, and save it. Save it first as a PSD (so you can always go back to edit layers), then save it as a PNG. Next, open up a 8.5 x 11 inch document in Photoshop, and then drag your label PNGs up and arrange them on the page in rows/columns to fit where the labels should be printed, until your sheet is full. Then just print that page. If the paper you are printing has pre-cut label spaces, you can probably adjust the gridlines/rulers within the software to mark off the perforation lines.

JACookie Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 I actually use clear, full sheet, waterproof vinyl labels, so your idea would work perfectly! Thanks so much. I wanted to make sure I could set my photoshop that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
