For Franking Machine owners with hand fed machines, Label Planet stocks franking labels. There is one size of label that can be used in over 85% of hand fed franking machines, the size is 151 x 40mm and there are two on a little sheet with a gap between them. There is no border on the labels so they can be slid right into the franking machine.
The material used for the franking labels is 100% compatible with the machines and samples can be supplied if requested. These labels are very cost efficient and come in packs of 1,000 labels for well under £20.00 including postage and vat.
Franking machine labels are a specialised product and not really any use for anything but creating franking marks for royal mail letters and parcels. The labels are used when the item to be posted is too big or too thick to put through the franking machine.

Fluorescent coloured labels are extremely bright and can be used on laser printers but not inkjet printers. Label Planet supplies these in boxes of 100 a4 sheets and also in bulk boxes of 500 sheets. The fluorescent colours are, red, orange, yellow, green and pink, and these are available in 37 sizes.
As you would expect the main use is for high visibility, so warning labels of all kinds are printed onto fluorescent stock. As well as warning they are used to grab attention, to make something really stand out in a warehouse or shop or as a sign.
Fluorescent labels cost just a bit more than normal coloured labels, and label planet is happy to supply samples so you can see the difference.

Clear laser labels are supplied online by label planet. The most common sizes are sold in 25 sheet packs and there are also less common sizes in boxes of 500 sheets. There are three different kinds of clear laser labels, matt, gloss and gloss removable. Label planet will be starting to sell the matt and removable clear labels later this month and already has the gloss clear labels in stock.
All the clear laser labels are waterproof, and the laser print is also waterproof, unlike inkjet print which will smudge and smear.
For best results you should set your print driver to the “labels” setting, this slows your printer down and makes sure that the laser toner is properly bonded to the labels. To set the driver to the labels setting, select “properties” on the screen that appears just before you print, and then find “media type” and select “labels” or “heavy paper”.
Well that’s just about it for clear laser labels today.

Clear labels are supplied by us for inkjet printers. The clear labels we supply are made out of polyester, this makes them waterproof. There is adhesive on the back of the labels which is waterproof, but any adhesive traps some air bubbles so if you stick the labels onto glass then they appear slightly frosted. Inkjet ink is water based so even though the labels are waterproof the ink will not be, so the main uses for these labels are indoor and not on retail products.
Printing clear inkjet labels is simple, you can use MS word to design what you want to print, if you use a template than designing for the labels will be easier, the template helps you to position the text or images you want. Templates fro all sizes of label are on our web site (www.labelplanet.co.uk).
Well thats the main stuff about clear inkjet labels.

Blank Self-adhesive CD labels are supplied by Label Planet, there are 4 different layouts to choose from depending upon which software you are using.The labels are sold in packs of 25 sheets and sent out same day.
CD labels were sold in huge vollume when CD burners became available to the general public because for the first time people could copy existing CD’s and also create their own compilations.At that time CD’s were the main method of distributing programs and music files.
As the speed of computers and the amount storage increased then more and more music files were downloaded at first this was an illegal activity but it is now legitimate via products like i-tunes. As a result the number of CD and DVD labels sold to the general public has fallen off substantially. Software and computer companies still use CD labels on CD’s as a cheap and effective way of distributing back up copies of software.
The CD will probably go the same way now as the old vinyl records.
