No matter how much you watch and follow the instructions for the exact label numbers provided by Avery - they do not print in alignment with product. Extremely frustrating. Best to just order from any online sticker company. Saves money and time.
Not thrilled tonite. Went for bday and hour after arrival we got food service. Crab legs@$58 pp were good I will say but burgers, ribs and all that comes with really poor quality. Shouldn't wait an hour for legs either. Only give 2 clusters then u wait... for 1 more and wait. For one more. We wo t gi back or recommend
It is getting more and more difficult to get good, clean separations with the Avery 5392 badge inserts with every order. The perforations, which use to be so good with Avery products, are terrible now. They micro perforations the advertising brags about are worthless - at best, the inserts look raggedy and more often than not, scissors are required to clean them up.
Typing labels on this website is terrible. Every time I add or fix something it ends up screwing another persons name or address. Never using it again. Always issues its a frikin joke.
Placed two orders both over $130 a piece for lip balm labels. All of them started to peel off! These are for my business and I had to tape over 200 labels to salvage my loss. Now they look tacky and not very professional. Contacted Avery three times and was only asked ridiculous questions about how I apply the stickers and what temperature they were? Never addressed the issue or offered a return! Terrible company, go to one of the several other label making sites out there and save your money by not using Avery Print!
Just bought Avery #******* easy peel shipping labels, 2x4 CLEAR. Opened package and the label are not clear they are glazed to make them see thru. I needed CLEAR labels, you know like looking thru glasses not a glazed over sticker. I will be going back to get a new ones or refund which ever is suitable.
Just a side note - when you create a label using their on line label maker, the process is not bad but when you go to print they are printed to the right 7/8" so yu need to adjust the label 7/8" to the left. They look good on the website but print a B/W copy draft to check alignment and adjust accordingly. Also do not switch to using printer functions as the alignment will also change again.
These labels are great, i use the avery template online to create product labels. First page i printed i noticed they were off centre so an adjustment of 12mm to the right was needed as to was 1mm adjustment downward. Another thing i encountered was that it doesn't print the bottom three labels but this is easily overcome by putting the label sheet in with the bottom 3 labels first so prints all 18 labels per sheet. Will take little bit to setup but hell it beats paying vista print $10 plus postage for 10 labels, i can create 180 labels for $17 plus ink. Another thing i would suggest is don't use black background as it will rub of as it is a canvas sticker. I am impressed with them and the template is excellent dont believe the haters you can add images, shapes, text many fonts good solution for mum and dad shops//
Using Avery ******* oval labels. First 2 rows were correct and subsequent rows printed closer to the previous row. Imported my saved template into Word and it printed perfectly. Wasted over an hour trying to get the perfect labels using Avery label tool.
Suggestion: put a background on your label sheet, so that you can hold up a test sheet and see the actual label locations for alignment.
Printing Avery labels with Design&Print can be a crap shoot these days. Many reviewers are emotional and I can sympathize. Yes the labels can be pricy. That's why I don't like making printing mistakes. I downloaded the Design&Print software to my MAC. It works ok for me but GEE it's tedious to operate. Sometimes I go back to Microsoft WORD as it's simpler, faster and more reliable. In Design&Print it seems like too many options and should be more intuitive. Also, it often prints out of alignment. That does not make anyone happy right? Tech support tells me to play with the alignment settings in the software but that does not give me a refund for the misprints. There's more... I don't like their "Durable labels, *******" as they don't stick well enough to surfaces like plastic. Avery are u listening? More adhesive please! I can complain about the ink fading in the sun but that is an Epson issue. I'll review them next. Thanks for listening. BTW citrus cleaners like "Desolve-It" take labels off beautifully. Good luck printing.
I am still fuming about how much time I wasted last night with your terrible software. Avery should be ashamed. I ended up spending hours of trial and error making my own template just so I could print a table of contents for a binder. I was up till 4 am last night working on this $#*! and I am still pissed off. So today I contacted avery and they offered to email me a template. Those morons could have just made the template available to download on their website and saved me and who knows how many other the agony of wresting with their brutal design software. I will forever hate Avery and never purchase anything from them again on principle.
Every time Avery updates Design & Print, it is worse then before. It is now totally unusable. The print won't line up properly with the labels. If the print was consistently off I could make an adjustment, but the print progressively moves to the left and down. I thought it was my printer at first, so I borrowed my daughter's printer, same problem. I then tried both printers on a different computer, same problem.
Avery needs to go back to the program that used to be included with their labels and that you downloaded straight to your own computer, that was 5 star worthy. This current version is only good for wasting expensive labels. Maybe it is part of Avery's insidious plan to get us to buy more labels. I think I will purchase Office Depot brand instead. > :(
I would give minus stars if I could! Their printing customization is super limited and just straight garbage. I am lucky if one label gets printed correctly of the whole sheet of labels. SMFH
I have used the website to print labels, then went to the app thinking it may be better.
Why Avery makes it so difficult for such a simple task. Im an IT professional and it takes me several attempts, because of really dumb defaults etc.
Avery sucks!
I agree with others- Avery templates were easy to use before. What happened?! They just don't line up properly to the templates any longer. Waste of money to print stickers that aren't lined up. Very disappointed. I will not be purchasing from Avery again.
I have been searching for months for a self-adhesive strip tab previously sold by AVERY. Today I was able to obtain a phone number for AVERY and then had the good fortune to speak with MONIQUE who patiently listened to my disjointed product description, then checked to find it had been discontinued in '2004 and then searched and found what I wanted from another company. Monique, my thanks and appreciation for defining what is meant by service!
Avery templates were once easy to find and easy to use. Not so now. I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to find the correct template and then could not save the final sheet of labels. Such a shame!
My Office Suite has been acting up and is unreliable, so I thought I would try Avery Design & Print to print some address labels. In theory-if it worked-it's a great concept. But, after spending hours experiencing random omissions of my entries, glitches galore and extremely erratic behavior of this program, I am at my whit's end. Unbelievably inferior product.
I have spent tens of hours over the last three months trying to develop a simple round 2.5" label and I have had to conclude it is impossible on this site. I am so angry and annoyed for wasting my money on these labels and spending my precious time on a worthless site.
The "new and improved" site sucks. It is NOT user friendly. I went to open it today and the site would not take my current password. My only option at that point (I really needed to print out some labels that I had saved) was to request a new password, which the site would not let me do. Really? C'mon guys, get your act together.
I've been using Avery for quite a while now and sensed absolutely no problems with the site. It prints just fine with my disc labels AND my DVD cases. You don't need to have them print it for you. You can do it yourself. You can either save your work onto
your My Avery account or your computer. That's about it.

Answer: I think part of the issue is that Avery Dennison sold off their Labels and Software to CCL in 2016. I luckily still have an older system that uses Windows 7 and Design Pro 5.5 software and I can print most labels the way I want them. The Design and Print software is garbage compared to the older now retired Design Pro 5.5. I have a feeling that Avery (from CCL) is trying to get users to pay to print via their service instead of having a capable program that users can print at home or at work. Even the Design and Print is going away from the "offline" version and going with Online only... I will NEVER go with an Online version ever period! Your better bet unfortunately is to download a template for either Word or Photoshop and print from there if you have a system that is not compatible with Design Pro. Design Pro was created by Avery Dennison and not CCL industries

Answer: Apparently it does. When I ask for a second or third PDF, the file name has (2) or (3) added.
