- CD LabelMaker MEDIA Label Templates for MAC:
-
- GENERAL NOTES:
- This disc contains all you need to design great looking media labels
- (CD, Audio CAssette, Video Cassette, Minidisc,
- Floppy, Zip™ & Jaz™ cartridges).
- These templates are designed for ease of use with most major
- art packages. Users should familiarise themselves with these
- packages and have their User's Guides handy.
-
- When using graphic images that are meant to cover the entire
- label, it is best to extend the image beyond the actual border
- of the label, or "bleed" the image. This will ensure proper
- coverage.
-
- When printing from these templates, it may be necessary to
- change the portrait/landscape setting in "page setup" to
- accomodate your printer.
-
- Media Templates are provided for both US letter and A4 sizes for the
- following software packages. A full description of how to use
- them is provided below:

- HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN TEMPLATES
- The templates supplied are designed for use with most laser
- and inkjet printers. Due to the mechanical nature of printers
- it is difficult to guarantee that all the templates will align
- perfectly on the first try. It may be necessary to adjust the
- image in your design document slightly to ensure proper
- alignment.
-
- If you wish to create your own template or modify a
- CD LabelMaker template, the following information will be useful.
-
- Set the page/paper size to landscape A4 or US Letter to
- match that of your label stock then draw:
-
- Front label for CD jewel case
- Box 118mm wide x 45mm deep at a position 24.5mm across
- and 10mm down from the top left corner of the page.
- (15.7mm & 13mm for US Letter size).
-
- Spine label for CD jewel case
- Box 118mm wide x 7mm deep at a position 24.5mm across
- and 65mm down from the top left corner of the page.
- (15.7mm & 68mm for US Letter size)
-
- CD LabelMaker CD label
- Outer circle 118mm diameter & inner circle 41mm diameter
- whose centres are at a position 83.5mm across and 141mm
- down from the top left corner of the page.
- (74.7mm &144mm for US Letter size).
-
- Both labels are then repeated with the positional dimensions
- relative to the bottom right hand corner of the page.
