RE: Uses for Blank Address Labels
maybe you could print on some just your first and last name then the others your address and city and state abbrviated so its shorter then put the too together on your mail going out. since your printer will not serve them in such small print, might work. also print some pretty clip art some and use on the backs of mail going out to brighten some ones day or even use them as tape to close gifts up when wrapped.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
I have some address labels like what you are talking about. I use them on my CD's that I burn to keep up with what is on which CD as well as on my VHS tapes for the same reason.
Hope this helps.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
Some one posted a suggestion that I should check out the Avery website. She was so kind as to post the link. I went to the site and typed in the label number then chose a design and for the very first time was able to print out return address labels successfully.
The print is small but I don't mind at least I didn't have to throw them away, and now I have use for them. I even printed out a sheet of return address labels and mailed them to our son who is a career soldier in the army. He is always moving from one duty station to another and constantly has address changes.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
I used my plain labels to use on my canning jars and put what I canned and the date on them. Who needed those fancy labels.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
Use them in a few ways:
-file folder labels
-covers for postal labels on boxes
-labels for storage boxes
-plug labels for electrical, computer, appliances
-Print gift labels with them - two lines and room for a small picture is all you need!
-Put one of them on over where you need to hole punch something and it will be reinforced for long term use.
-I print phone numbers on mine and put them on phones for my office.
-Use them to label little cards and candies with "thank you" or "happy halloween!"
-Let your kids or grandkids loose with them - they can draw pictures that they can wear!
-use them as price tags at bake sales, garage sales, church sales, etc.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
I have the same labels go to averys website listed on the package. They have a program that is quick and easy and sets the text to the label standards. That worked for me. I couldn't use my standard programs I had either cuz of the print size. hope this helps

Why not use them as file folder labels?

Avery 5167 will also work.

I have found these labels useful in marking dishes containing food that are taken to another location, so that they won't be lost. They will wash off after the dish is returned to you. I also found that, if you fold them in half around an electrical cord, you can label it to avoid future confusion. Good luck and God bless you!

You might try hp.com's Activity Center. It's free. Click on "Home Office & Business Templates", then find list of "Business Kits". Click on each of them - I like the Nature design - until you find a design you like. You can print stationery, business cards, fax forms, invoices, mailing labels, and Avery 8167 return address labels. I hope this works for you.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
I use a program called Print Artist... if has settings for each & every size of label... PLUS the "Avery" brand is listed by it's number for each label... Print Artist formats my computer to accept any size label, I was surprised at how easy it was... (& I'm NO computer wiz!)... I'm sure there are other "Print" type of programs that also do this... Sometimes these older Printing programs are super cheap & you can even buy them at garage sales or thrift stores... Just be sure your computer or printer isn't to new for them.

Have you checked out the Avery website? http://enu.print.avery.com/SelectSku and enter 8167 in the "find product number" box. They have some cute templates you might be able to use.

Marge,
In Microsoft Word there may be an option to 'remove the space before the paragraph'. See if that helps to center the type better. I just went through this with Windows Vista. There was too much space at the top and the bottom was cut off. I also had the very small labels and when I adjusted the space I got three lines on it.
I am at home on the Mac now but I think it was the Format >Paragraph tab. You should be able to reduce the spacing there.
Don't throw them away yet. Good luck.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
I just found this money saving tip on my home page:
Special Delivery Savings
You can reuse envelopes by putting an adhesive label over the original address. This is easy to do with most envelopes, but the biggest savings are on large or padded envelopes that cost around $1.00 apiece to buy. I put them aside so I never have to make a special trip to buy envelopes. You can save money, and save trees while you're at it!
So if all fails I can still use them to cover over the addresses of envelopes and reuse them.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
Do you have Microsoft Word?
There is an option of going into that program and printing labels there.
Go to tools -> letters & mailings -> envelopes & labels -> options -> and scroll down to address labels 8167.
Yes, I have Microsoft Word, and I checked yesterday and the label shows that only two lines can be typed, so I can't use them for a 3 line address. I just happened to purchase the wrong size label and am stuck with 4 boxes. Oh well live and learn that's what I say!

You can also use them for gift tags - either by printing on them, or writing on by hand.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
Thanks for your tips and yes they are Avery 8167 Ink Jet. I was able to use them with my old HP Windows 98SE, but cannot get the print small enough in order to print out a 3 line address with my Windows XP.
I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions.

RE: Uses for Address Labels
What is the brand (Avery)? What is the purpose for labels this size according to the box? I think you could use them as file folder labels. Maybe write the months of the year on and use in a file cabinet for bills, cancelled checks, birthday and anniversary reminders. Use as price tags at a garage sale or on craft items.
