Holiday labels for word

(Guest blogger Emily Warn is co-owner of Two Pens, which teaches people to write social media content from both sides of the brain.)

My handwriting is as legible as a doctor’s. This holiday season that could have become a problem. Over the summer, my Italian plum trees pumped out fruit like a post-recession factory, producing enough for three different kinds of chutney, and yes, Slivovitz (plum brandy). I didn’t want someone slathering garlic-ginger chutney on an English muffin so I decided to create READABLE holiday labels with the help of Word templates.

Where to get FREE jar label templates

There are loads of free templates for labels for jam jars. I recommend starting with them. You’ll find a list of places to get them at the end of the post, including those on office.com  Later on, if you want to learn how to create your own from scratch in Word, read this tutorial on the Local Kitchen blog.

(Looking for holiday card templates, look on office.com.)

For my plum-erific project I chose to use Avery labels by heading to Avery Design Print Online where you can get lots of free templates (of course you have to buy the labels!).

Picking the perfect label

Almost all free template sites ask for your email address, but usually not any additional personal info. After you do that on Avery Design Print Online, you’ll need to either enter a product number or choose a type of template, say a mailing label or jar label, and you’ll see templates to choose from:

Fiddle until the label says you

I wanted text to replace my scrawl so I chose the label that had a Mistletoe with a place to add the name of my chutneys. But when I entered the text, it didn’t look right-my words kissed (!) the mistletoe.

I clicked Next to get to the editing tools, which made it easy for me to move the text down and change its color.

Print!

Satisfied my fiddling had created labels that my friends and family wouldn’t have to squint to read, I clicked Save in order to download it to my computer. I now had a Word document  of 18 identical labels, which are sized and spaced to match a particular sheet of labels from Avery-which of course I already had. I stacked a bunch of label sheets in my printer, and clicked Print in Word.

Now the fun part-a jam-jar labeling party listening to holiday music and sipping Slivovitz.

Labels love to help out in the office and the classroom, but they really love to party.

5 Quick Tips to Make Better Labels in Word for 2022 

After you’ve chosen the label template in Word you want to use, you’ll want to customize it. Here are some tips to help you customize your template:

1. Use a Readable Font

When you’re working with a label, it’s important to have a readable font on your label. If your label is hard to read, it makes the label pointless. For example, If you’ve chosen a shipping label template with a font that’s hard to read, it could go to the wrong address. 

2. Measure 

When deciding what you want to put a label on, measure the object you want to label. You want the label to fit the object that you’re labeling. For example, if you are using a CD or DVD label template and the label you put on it is too big, the player might not take the CD or DVD.

3. Use Trendy Colors

If you’re using a label that other people will see, consider using trendy colors. Trendy colors can make your label look more professional and more impressive. Trendy colors can also make your label stand out more than just a plain black and white label.

4. Double Check the Information

Labels are meant to put information on things. So, you must double-check the information that’s on your label. If the information is wrong important items could get mixed up. If you’ve got a shipping label, the package could get lost in the mail if the information is wrong.

5. Add a Logo

Some label templates have a section where you can add your own logo. If you’re using your label in a professional setting, adding your logo on the label can further your brand and look professional. Having your logo on your label also makes your brand more recognizable. Logos tell potential or current customers who you are.
