Q:  I am looking for some clear laser compatible labels to use for bath products. Do you carry such a label?  This will be for bath and body products. I will need several different sizes, but probably something close to a 4″wide x 3″ high for most of the products, or if you stock something close to that.

A:  We do carry a clear, matte, permanent adhesive label for laser printers.  Please contact us indicating desired label size, number of labels per 8.5” X 11” sheet, and number of sheets.

Q:  We are a world wide distributor  and do heavy volume shipping. We primarily ship Fed Ex and UPS. We currently have to print off packing slips and put in an adhesive envelope. Can we combine an adhesive packing slip and UPS/Fed Ex label? We ship thousands of pieces of merchandise. Right now, we print the label and then print the packing slip separately.  The packing slip then has to be folded and put in an adhesive envelope.  We are looking for a way to process our shipments a little more efficiently.

A:  We recommend our LLS-8.5X5.5-2UP – this is an 8.5” X 11” sheet with 2 labels that are 8.5” wide X 5.5” tall each.   That way you can use ½ of the sheet as a package label (on the outside of the box), and the other ½ of the sheet as a packing slip label.

Q:  We are in the process of creating a double sided handout with information about upcoming events at the library. The design is 8.5 x 11 paper portrait making two handouts per sheet. We would like to put this on perforated med cardstock so that it would be easy for our volunteers to separate. Not every branch has a paper cutter and it might be difficult to cut them precisely. Do you have anything that can be used for this purpose?

A:  I think our Print on Demand Jumbo Postcards™ would work very well for your needs.  We have our Jumbo Lightweight if you are looking for a lightweight cardstock.  Or, you may choose our Jumbo Standard if you would like more of a standard weight cardstock.  These are blank sheets of 11 in. X 8.5 in. postcard thickness stock designed for printing on standard laser and inkjet printers. They have a special micro perforation so each sheet will yield two jumbo 8.5 in. X 5.5in. postcards.

Yes, we can manufacture the Printable Member / ID Card™ – Glossy Laser [Item: MC-Perf-GL] with 1 large card across the bottom of the sheet.

We do have a 5,000 sheet minimum with a + / – 10% overrun for manufacturing, shipping and billing. (industry standards).  Please contact us for a custom quote.

Q:  Don’t suppose you know what colors can have a postnet barcode.  I know that you have to stay away from shades of red, it throws off the post office scanner.

A:  I spoke with a Mailpiece Design Analyst with the USPS and she said that their only guideline is “dark ink on light background.”  Dark inks could include black, dark blue, dark green, etc.  Light backgrounds include white, pastels, etc.  You are correct that they discourage red.  Their concern is that there is good reflectance on the background.

Q:  Can your blank postcards (Single On Demand) be printed on both sides? If yes, are the Glossy ones that can only be used with a laser-printer glossy on both sides or matte on the reverse side?

A:  Yes, our Print-On-Demand Single Postcards™ can be printed on both sides.  The 4x6G (laser gloss) is a high gloss finish on one side and matte on the reverse.  This product is for laser printers only.  If you have an inkjet printer, we recommend only using paper specifically designated as inkjet paper, as it will absorb the ink properly.  Here are some examples of our products, which are only designated for inkjet printers.
