There are certain tasks that you would expect to be done simply on a computer. At the top of this list is making labels.
In my opinion the number of label making programs on the market should rival the number of digital photography or antivirus programs on the market.
For some mysterious reason, there are hardly any good label programs out there. They are either too simple and limited in features or they are too complex and require dozens of steps that are far from intuitive.
Not all labels are mailing labels. There are file labels, large sticker labels, envelope labels, etc. For these, I discovered a great tool online. Avery Design and Print Online is a very simple, yet easy to use program for creating almost any style of label you might need.
In addition to being able to create simple labels from scratch, Avery also lets you choose to only fill in certain labels on the page. In other words, if you have printed labels on labels 1-4, the next time you can print labels 5-10. This allows you to print one label at a time or many labels at once.
The only real draw back, and it is kind of a big one, is that you must fill in each label individually and can not import lists of any kind. Creating a sheet of identical labels is very simple though using a checkbox.

I have a need to generate labels from a website that is auto-generated from a database. The idea being that each label would be created as the loop goes through an array created from the data.
There will likely be about 10-15 pages of labels created. I’ve see folks online who say there’s no way to accomplish this with HTML, since it is so dependent upon the browser.
One other thought I read about was to generate a PDF file and have that built to the parameters of the label.
Yet another one has a picture created with the cells of the database that would generate the pages more precisely.
Is there a better way, or are these the accepted ways to use Avery labels with websites.
Thank you!
