You have a stack of envelopes, a sheet of Avery labels, and an address list that lives in three different places. Retyping each name is slow, and one misaligned print wastes a sheet. Home Print Labels is a Mac label maker that keeps the addresses and the label layout in one program.
Quick facts
- Version: 2.0.0
- Platform: Mac (MacOS / Mac OS X)
- Price: $19.95
- Windows: a separate Windows version is sold
Key features
Pick from a large library of Avery label and card templates
The program supports most Avery label and card formats, so you choose your paper and start designing. You can make address, mailing and shipping labels, letterheads, form letters, business cards, ID cards, inventory tags, postcards and envelopes.
Keep your addresses in a built-in database
A database and address book stores names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, URLs and notes. You can split, merge, import and export mailing databases, and print labels either from the database or from a predefined data template.
Print mail merge runs with PostNet barcodes
The mail merge feature fills labels from your records, and you can automatically print PostNet barcodes on mailing labels.
Design freely or start from a template
You can add lines, shapes, text, barcodes, logos and graphics. Start from a template or a blank layout, and save your own designs as templates for the Design Wizard. You can switch easily between database, label and preview views.
Who it's for
It suits Mac users who print address labels, mailing runs, business cards or inventory tags at home or in a small office, and want one tool for both the data and the design.
