Create Beautiful Custom Christmas Card Labels

2) Save by using a larger label for both recipient and sender addresses

Save time with a smart design: instead of using a return address label and an address label, print both on a single large shipping label.

Alternatively, a more recent trend that looks really smart, is to print on a long rectangular label (such as one of our Filing labels). On the left hand side of the label, write the address of who the card is intended for. Then on the far right of the label, add your own address. In Design & Print you can rotate text boxes, or make text sizes different to make it clear who the card is to and from.

Once printed, when applying the label to the envelope, wrap the long label around so the "To" Address is on the front of the envelope and the "From" address is on the back.

 

4) Create Return Address Labels in an instant using Edit All

Creating festive return address labels is especially easy with Design & Print Online's "Edit All" feature.

While you're in "Edit All" mode (look at the navigator in the top right of the screen to see if you are in Edit all or Edit one mode), type your return address on one label and our software will automatically apply those changes to the entire sheet.

We have created a demonstration video that explains more about using the navigator and the importance of Edit all/Edit one

5) Find all the label sizes and shapes you need

Whether you're shipping gifts, cards or invitations, it's a good idea to take a survey of what size labels you’re going to need and prepare ahead of time. You can filter our labels by size or shape to find exactly what you need to make your Christmas labels perfect.

Blank labels are also available in materials that are not available in stores. Check out all of our blank label options here.  Best of all, you can order the exact number of blank label sheets you need and Avery will deliver them directly to your door.

7) Get a co-ordinated look across all your Christmas labels

Our predesigned templates are often created with a full suite of products in mind to make it easier for you to create a coordinated custom look. Try browsing our Christmas templates as a starting point to see if there's a design that will suit your needs. You can then carry this theme over on to your Christmas gift labels and tags, and any invites you might be sending.

You can also create your own custom design and apply it to a suite of products by using the "Apply Design" feature in Design & Print Online. Take a look at our Apply Design - How To article to learn more about how to use this Apply Design feature.

8) Check last mailing dates!
