A Good Way To Waste Labels

If you're like me you probably cannot stand wasting things. I especially dislike wasting paper but I especially labels. You'd think since we sale labels that I would not mind it, but that's not true!

In the last blog entry:

Free Label Templates

We pointed out to you a way to keep from wasting labels. Download and Use a Free Template from www.tlcIT.com!

One great thing about a template and a computer is that if you take care to make sure that your onscreen layout is correct before you hit the PRINT button, then you'll most likely not waste a single label.

Now on the other hand, if you've ever tried printing out half sheet shipping labels from the UPS or USPS website, chances are good that you had to waste half of your label.

I know that the UPS website prints the important stuff on the top half of the half sheet shipping label and then some instructions on the lower half.

Why they do that is beyond me but they do. There is no way that I know of to not print the instructions. Do you know of any?

This is a very effective way to waste labels. I can't stand it!

We've tried many techniques to avoid it but we haven't really found a way to avoid wasting half of an 8.5 inch x 11 inch sheet of shipping labels.

If you know a secret on how to avoid wasting a half sheet shipping label on the UPS or USPS website please let me know, by posting a comment here.

Till next time....
