I'm looking for a template for power point the create a
business card on a business card cd. also looking for a
template to create the label.

Thanks for your help.

Phil,

I've tried both using prepared, non-Powerpoint templates/software for
normal-sized CD labels (e.g. Avery labels and templates -- see
www.avery.com) as well as making my own templates in PowerPoint or
Illustrator for label sheets. There are pros and cons to each method.
I have not yet done any biz-card sized CD labels.

That said, I suggest finding some suppliers who offer templates AND
software AND blank labels in one kit. The presumption here is that the
templates and software will match the precut layout of the label
sheet, saving you the hassle of tweaking your home-made PPT template
until your designs fit the labels on the sheet just right.

Some examples I just now found, but haven't tried:
http://www.labelgear.com/LG/Product.asp?ProdCode=13603
http://www.surething.com/ST/Category.asp?CatCode=CD_BUSINESS_CARD_KIT
http://www.meritline.com/lasinmatwhit5.html (offers template in MS
Word)

If you already have the CD label sheets but no labeling software or
templates, it's time to pull out the old t-square and make your own
template. Or scan a marked up label sheet, set that as your background
in PPT, and put your designs on top. But if you know the label
supplier, you might be able to download their proper template or
software for free.

There are no "standard" templates for CD label sheets because, as
you'll see from the links above, different suppliers arrange the
labels on the sheet differently.

Good luck,
Tony

Ah, geeze. I didn't even notice the "CD" part of the original post -- I
was thinking just plain ol' business card, LOL!

Thanks for cleaning up after me, Tony.

Rating: Mostly irrelevant
Content: Printed labels on full size CDs can make some CD players *very*
unhappy; I mean the ones with the little slot that you shove the CD into
(some Macs, lots of car players). They're banned in our car - they go in
fine, but they never come out w/o tools, surgery and many magic incantations
that I can't quote here.

...hmmm...sounds familiar...do you use Puce candles with your magic
incantations? I use the ones that smell like cinnamon. Don't know if they
really help that much with the magic part, but, the aroma does seem to calm
the chickens.

Candles? I was supposed to use candles?

Dang. I figured the propane torch would be faster.

Candles, huh?

I *hate* the thing with the chickens. It's so hard to get the bits of
feather out from between yer teeth afterwards.
 
Well...I guess it could depend on if you took the regular
course, or the crash course. Ya must'a got the crash
course.

Judging by the way the computers act ... yeah. I guess so.
