I use FileMaker Pro for mass Avery mailings.  However, one of the
neatest little items I picked up is the Smart Label Printer PRO made by
Seiko.  Look into it and see if it will meet your needs.  You can print
1 label or a list.

My wife uses:  MacEnvelope  from  Synex:

It's a great program but as of 23 Oct 97 there was a little bit of a
problem with the installer and OS8, so you do it manually.  They probably
have fixed it by now. It has a whole library of templates for stand alone
operation. The original version got 5 mice from MacUser in Aug 90.

ClarisWorks can do it. There are some templates among the Assistants.

Mac:

The best program I've ever seen for that was TouchBase Pro. It gives
incredible versatility in using Avery labels or any labels that you
could describe. Also, it is _the_ data base I use for all my clients,
customers, friends, etc.

MS Word has reasonable labels for one offs or for printing a page of the
same label.  Look under the tools menu - all of the Avery label sizes
should be there.

There you go then. I'll pass on this intelligence to Avery here in NZ.
They assured me there was NO Avery label prog for Macs.

I'm not familiar with the program you mention, but what do you exactly
want to do?

If your needs are to print tons of different kinds of labels, I'd  go
with Seiko's Labelwriter Plus (??? I think that's the name...) 

If it's mailing labels, I used AddressBook (shareware), from the late
Jim Leitch with an ImageWriter, DeskWriter and a LaserWriter, while a
friend used an Imagewriter in conjunction with FMPro to print pinfeed
labels...

There's also a new template (check on versiontracker.com) for FMPro to
do mailings, you might want to check that out...

Yeah, they say the same thing here, but it's still on sale last I looked. 
I like it a lot.

MacLabel Pro, from Avery, knows all their forms by number.  Makes it very
easy to access.  I think it does mail merges too, but I've not needed that
feature so far.  It's kinda MacDraw-like.

Mac:

Avery hasn't a clue as to what they have or not. If there isn't a Mac
program for Avery Labels, then why do I have one?

If you get a written release from their copyright, then I'll provide it
to you.

MS Word has default settings for Avrey labels. Look under tools >
envelops and labels.  On your box of Avery labels it will tell you which
label to select from the list in the word program.  It will then tell
you how to set up the margins.  You can then use mail merge or type the
labels in directly and print them out.

My $.02

The clarisworks database does everything I need for labels, and as a
teacher I use a lot of different sizes and configurations.

This is a copy of the reply I received from Avery (USA) from an E-mail I
sent to them. Perhaps you could ring Avery Australia and quote the product
number to get more info.

Note: The price and phone number below are USA. The price seems cheap
enough even if it is in $US.

Hope this has been of some help.

I'm not the original poster, but I've tried that program.  I found it less
than obvious.  The Avery program was instantly obvious as to how to use
it.  Of course, that requires that one can -find- it...

MaclabelPro works fine with my 7.5.5. In fact I have lots of �older�
programs that run very well.

Works with 7.6.1 on the IIsi and 8.1 on the 7300.

The Labelwriter is made by Costar - see their site at coster.com.

I have FMP for mailings and I don't think you can beat it.

How about MacLabel from Avery? They have one for the Mac (Version 1.64).
I've been using it happily for years now.

Judith Bassin wrote:

Judith,

I have been watching this posted question with considerable interest but have
not as yet seen the answers which would satisfy "my" particular requirements. 
Let me briefly summarise the issue.

Those who require a mass laser-labelling facility can find it integrated
within ClarisWorks or FileMaker.  But those built-in label formats serve only
those markets which use the US Letter page.   The global standard is the
metricated A4 page - so if you are not in the good ol' US of A,  you are
burdened with workarounds whereby to compensate for margins and drop-register
corruptions. The isolation of USA in clinging to the imperial measurement
system, has produced nothing but problems in myriad commercial and industrial
export markets.  The customer has to decide whether he shall be the loser or
whether he shall beat the American tunnel vision by buying from elsewhere
(which in terms of imperial v metrication, means from anywhere else on the globe!)

For instance.  In many business presentations it is absolutely necessary to
deliver unfolded documents.  And yet the infeed width dimensions of all
personal laser printers such as Apple, Hewlett Packark - et al, are just 1.5mm
too narrow to accommodate a manilla envelope for A4 pages. So in this
high-tech' age our options are (i) the quill pen or ballpoint, (ii) an
expensive commercial laser-printer, or, (iii) use of a laser label.

For the latter requirement one should not have to open a huge Application.
We need only a Desk Accessory (Apple Menu item) Laser-labelling Utility which
works with the current Mac OS and which supports the global metricated page formats.

Having followed this ng thread,  I emailed Avery, put these criteria, and
asked the questions. Their prompt and courteous response can be summarised as
"No. No. and No"

To any Shareware wizards and software developers who may be reading this, I
say, "here is market just waiting for your skills and enterprise".

Stuart Willis.

Actually, I think that the problem does not reside in Americans sticking to
their format....If it was really such a concern, we would switch to their
format anyway...The problem only seems to lie in the fact that there isn't
any demand for what you're asking or some enterprising shareware producer
would have made it.  There are plenty of talented developers in australia
and I haven't seen one such program you describe...You could always
commission a developer to make one for you for AU$500-$700 and you get the
source code.  Then you could try and distribute it and get your money
back....I don't think you'd have many takers to be perfectly honest...

As for buying anywhere else on the globe, that is always an option but I
look around the globe and I don't see anyone else making an a4 based
labelling utility...

Don't blame the yanks....blame all those people who are making the software
around the rest of the globe who are trying to sell to the yanks...

Good Luck,
Dennis

Hm, I don't quite see the problem (might be my fault, though <s>).  If you
have a laser printer -- a standard printer as opposed to dedicated label
printers -- , all you need is an A4 sheet with labels in the desired size. 
Don't know if those sheets are difficult to get in Australia; over here
(Germany) you would have a hard time finding anything else but A4 ...

Then, in FileMaker, either select the label size from the pop-up menu or, if
"your" label size is not included, create a custom size.  Maybe it's a
question of localization whether your copy of FMPro supports any A4 sheets
by default or not.  I have FM Pro 3.0 German, and it does support several
label sizes (makes are Avery and Zweckform, I think) on A4 sheets.

Another option, interesting if you want to print on labels in different
sizes, might be the Aetiket Label Printer

There is also a simple inexpensive ($35) program from MacSoft - Desktop
Labels Pro. And it prints all common label sizes, or you can create a
custom format.

It contains its own database, or you can import data from programs like
filemaker or anything else than can create a comma or tab delimited file.

It's also got a few other features like the ability to print envelopes,
and coolest of all, the ability to print most kinds of barcodes, UPC, EAN
and Codabar.

We have it in stock at our store
