Print smart labels and slick business cards
Looking for a way to print labels or business cards using special paper? You can, of course, make use of LibreOffice’s built-in tools, but a simpler, more elegant method can be found with gLabels. This self-contained tool is designed to simplify the task of creating and printing all kinds of labels, cards, and photo collages, including CD/DVD covers.
Whereas LibreOffice’s template provides you with a sheet of preformatted labels, each of which has to be customised individually, gLabels provides you with the tools to create a single design for all your labels, with the option of inserting data from a mail merge if you’re looking to print-out personalised labels such as addresses, as opposed to static elements like business cards. Once your basic template is chosen, you’re free to design your label using elements ranging from text, images, coloured shapes, lines and even barcodes.
The program is a classic example of doing what it says on the tin, keeping things as simple and intuitive as possible, and armed with our tutorial you’ll be equipped with everything you need to create your own labels or business
