Searching For Labels On Label Planet

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

We’re always looking for new ways to make our website easier to navigate so our customers can find the labels they need. We’ve made a few updates recently, so here’s a short guide to searching for the labels you need on Label Planet.

On the Home Page we have five images leading to our largest groups of labels; Rectangles with Rounded Corners, Rectangles with Square Corners, Circles and Ovals, Address Labels, and Coloured Labels.

Beneath these images we have three sets of links as follows:
1. Find Labels By Label Type
These links are useful if you know the specific type of label you need. For example, if you know you need a transparent waterproof label that is compatible with a laser printer, you click on the link for “Waterproof Laser Transparent” labels.

2. Find Labels By Material Type
These links are useful if you know the kind of material and/or adhesive you would like, but you want to know what options are available. For example, you might know that you want a transparent label, but not what kind. In this case, you can click on “Transparent Labels”, which leads to a page that lists the four kinds of transparent labels we currently supply.

3. Find Labels By Popular Sizes In All Materials
These links allow you to select one of our standard sizes to see what materials/adhesives that particular size is available in. For example, if you want 25mm circular labels, you can select “70 Per Page (25) Dia)” and view all of the options available in that size, including coloured, transparent, and waterproof labels.

Alternatively, customers can use the links in the dark purple border that features throughout our website. This section contains the white search bar at the top of the page, which is ideal if you want to search using a particular product code; the alphabetical list of labels on the left hand side; and the “Find Labels By” section in the top left corner of the page, which is a set of pages that list our labels according to a variety of features such as Number Per Sheet, Avery Code, Height, Width, Shape, or Material Type.

Address Labels: The Movie?

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

Here at Label Planet we’ve updated our Address Labels range page to make it even easier to find the perfect address labels for you.

Now you can view all of the materials available for address labels, click on the one you want, and simply select from the five standard sizes available:

- LP4/99: 4 per sheet (99.1 x 139mm)
- LP8/99: 8 per sheet (99.1 x 67.7mm)
- LP14/99: 14 per sheet (99.1 x 38.1mm)
- LP21/63: 21 per sheet (63.5 x 38.1mm)
- LP65/38: 65 per sheet (38.1 x 21.2mm)

To celebrate we’ve written a short article entitled:
“Address Labels: The Movie”

Astonishingly there may be plans to make a full length movie about address labels. It will be an artistic challenge to make an interesting film about something so boring.

The plot of the film will be similar to Ocean’s 11 but the target for the robbers will be a label factory, which manufactures all kinds of address labels for the main carriers in the USA. By stealing the labels and labelling equipment the gang are planning to stop most parcel shipments across America in the week before Christmas.

The robbers are being paid millions of dollars by one of the carrier companies whose evil owner will still have address labels and thus be able to corner the market. As one would expect in a movie of this type there have been years of planning; customers have been switched from the standard paper address labels and onto coloured and transparent address labels so they are reliant on the labels produced by the factory.

Several label companies have been consulted in secret about different types of labels, surprisingly there are hundreds of sizes and materials, and companies such as Label Planet sell them online in packs of 25 sheets as well as Stikins name labels.

Like Ocean’s 11 there is a clever twist at the end of the movie because the robbers double cross the evil owner and make even more money by supplying address labels at hugely inflated prices to the desperate victims.

The film may be released early next year, or then again it may not.

Review Label Planet Products and Service

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012

Customers can now review our label products on the Label Planet website, and read what other customers have said. We selected what we believe to be one of the best online review systems available; it is powered by Shopzilla and widely used in the USA. Reviewing takes less than a minute and you can leave comments and even modify the review system by adding your own questions for others to respond to.

There is a special review page (http://www.labelplanet.co.uk/customer-reviews.php) and also links to the review system on all the product range pages.
We hope that this will be useful to our existing, new and prospective customers, and of course to Label Planet staff who can follow the customer feedback.

The new advanced review system is powered by Shopzilla and not only allows customers to comment but also to rank how good the products and service are. The review system also allows customers to introduce new ways to review products. If you are buying products you can read the reviews; there are very few yet because the system has just gone live but as the months pass there are sure to be plenty.

The Labels Blog for Label Planet Starts Here

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Well this is the first blog from Label Planet’s blog master. I have been asked to inform and entertain anybody who cares to log in. I plan to say pretty much what I want because it is my bet that nobody of note from Label Planet will read this. If the blog suddenly stops and then restarts in a different vein then the P45 ghost has arrived.
