Hi Everyone

    I need some advice about labelling things for sale. I create & sell
    beadwork & chain mail kits & I label them by using a database program
    & printing out sheets of labels. This works well when I have lots to
    be labelled, but not so well when there are just a few because I end
    up with sheets with many blank labels in the middle. (I know how to
    use them up, but it takes a lot of fiddling & effort.) 

    I also sell some beading/chain mail supplies at shows (think thread,
    needles etc.), plus bags of jump rings, books, tools, lots of
    clasps. Well, you get the picture. Some, like clasps, need tiny
    labels; others can handle bigger ones. The small ones I have to
    handwrite!! What a pain, and not professional. 

    So, to make a long story shorter, I want to know what you'd
    recommend for labelling. And maybe I need to get one labeller for
    large labels, and a different machine for the tiny ones. Are there
    any issues re the kinds of labels? (size, colour (white, gold &
    black),plastic coating...) that I need to know. Can I connect it to
    my computer (Mac) & use existing information? 

    I've been looking on the internet (Dymo, Brother) but don't know
    where to start. 

    I'd appreciate learning from your experiences! 

Thanks,
Marilyn
