Waterproof labels for your products DIY

Do you need waterproof labels / weather-resistant labels for your products? How about for use on that  water bottle for the company party or even on your beach gear or your bath, food or other outdoor products? With Worldlabel’s waterproof labels, you can use your laser or inkjet printer to make these labels yourself.

Worldlabel’s waterproof  labels for laser printers only use a 60-lb. bright white face sheet with a 50-lb. liner made from a vinyl material. Our white waterproof label sheet for inkjet printing is 50-lb. bright white vinyl face sheet with a 50-lb. liner. These materials make the label sturdy and provide the durability to last longer in outdoor applications where water and a wide range of temperatures might damage a regular label. Additionally, the adhesive is a high quality acrylic permanent adhesive that holds up under extreme weather conditions.

Become a typeface pro with Fontmatrix

Fontmatrix is a free/libre font explorer for Linux, Windows and Mac

Casual computer users often give little thought to fonts, but once you starting working on design — from your web site to your stationary needs, you soon begin to appreciate the positive effects a good typeface can have on branding and marketing. The trouble comes when you start to collect more fonts on your system than you can keep track of in your head. Worse yet, most operating systems attempt to manage fonts for you in an all-or-nothing fashion, through which large collections can slow down application speed, in addition to being tiresome to scroll through. The solution is a good font manager, like the open source Fontmatrix.

Ink in ballpoint pens and inkjet printer cartridges share a common trait — they’re designed to dry quickly. Fast-drying ink works well when the ink dries on paper, but not so well if the ink dries on the printhead that dispenses it. When ink dries on a ball point of a pen, the ball no longer rolls smoothly on paper to evenly distribute ink, which creates blots of ink on a page. The same is true for inkjet printers when ink dries on the printhead — blots of ink appear on a printed page.

Full sheet labels for all labeling uses

Full sheet labels  (blank one shown above) are one of the best selling size labels. The whole sheet is one label. For USA customers it is letter size 8.5″ x 11″ (similar to ISO size a4). Surprise! It has so many uses, the possibilities are endless. The full sheet label consists of three parts: the face stock which can be made out of several different materials; the adhesive which is coated to the facestock, and; the liner, which is peeled off from the facestock, then you can apply the label sheet to almost any surface.

Souvenirs of the Godmothers

One of the most important and exciting for my wedding was the choice of godparents. A bit difficult because, thank God, I have many options for people to bless our union. I chose some very special friends who are very present in my life and my boyfriend chose some relatives. We wanted to please our godfathers with little gifts for women and I chose to make some souvenirs. A solution cheap and also serves as a reminder of a great wedding feast. It was quite romantic!
