Need Avery label templates for Photoshop?

I'm going to print up 300 CD labels for my buddies new Album. I bought the 8931 CD labels from Avery but it only came with some bullshit software that I would have to install on my computer. I went to their crappy website to look for a some sort of generic template that I could bring into Photoshop to make their label. But I couldn't find any, of course they had templates for Microsoft Word (I pause typing to make a masturbating gesture with my fist).

So I poked around the Internet and found a zip file with the labels I needed on the Adobe Exchange, of course you have to have an account to download the file. That's crap, I already had an Adobe login, so I downloaded the file and I posted it here.

You can download them directly from me.

Here's the text from the Adobe Exchange listing with all the label numbers and what-not:

Blank templates make it easier to design labels, business cards, postcards and CD/DVD labels using Adobe programs. The templates show guidelines so you can save time laying out your pages. You’ll know exactly the design area to work within and how to format the page for perfect printing. The templates for each zip file above support the following Avery products: Return Address Labels Return Address Labels – 80 per sheet 15267, 18167, 5167, 5267, 5667, 8167, 8667 Return Address Labels – 60 per sheet 5195, 8195 Mailing Labels Mailing Labels – 30 per sheet 15160, 15660, 18160, 18660, 5160, 5260, 5520, 5630, 5660, 5960, 8160, 8250, 8460, 8660 Mailing Labels – 20 per sheet 5161, 5261, 5661, 5961, 8161, 8461 Mailing Labels – 14 per sheet 15162, 15662, 18162, 18662, 5162, 5262, 5522, 5662, 5962, 8162, 8252, 8462, 8662 Mailing Labels – 12 per sheet 6879, 8769 Mailing Labels – 10 per sheet 15163, 18163, 5163, 5263, 5523, 5663, 5963, 5978, 8163, 8253, 8463, 8663, 8763 Mailing Labels – 6 per sheet 5164, 5264, 5524, 5664, 8164, 8254, 8464 Mailing Labels – 4 per sheet 6878, 8768 Shipping Labels Shipping Labels – 2 per sheet 5126, 8126 Business Cards Business Cards – 10 per sheet 25371, 26550, 26551, 27870, 27871, 27876, 27881, 27882, 28371, 28873, 28876, 28877, 5371, 5372, 5376, 5377, 5871, 5872, 5873, 5876, 5877, 5878, 5911, 6235, 8271, 8371, 8372, 8374, 8376, 8377, 8379, 8471, 8476, 8571, 8871, 8872, 8873, 8876, 8877, 8878, 8879 Business Cards – 8 per sheet 28373, 5881, 8373, 8869 Postcards Postcards – 4 per sheet 3263, 3380, 8387 Postcards – 2 per sheet 28389, 3248, 5889, 8386, 8389 CD/DVD Media CD/DVD Labels – 2 per sheet 5692, 5931, 6692, 8691, 8692, 8699, 8931, 8942, 8962 CD Jewel Case Inserts – 2 per sheet 5691, 5693, 6691, 6693, 8693, 8931, 8941, 8943

business card template

Hey man ... I'm try to design some new business cards and I'm using Avery Clean Edge Business card #8879 and it would be so much easier if I had the Template to design in Photoshop instead of Microsoft word. Do you by any chance have a copy?

thanks,
Annoyed in Alabama

throk's picture

Sorry :-(

All I have are the ones listed above. I found these off of the adobe developer exchange originally ( http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/ ) you can try that.

Also, business cards might be a little easier since they are square you can set your document to 300dpi and make the size 8.5x11 and if you measure you your own guides, if you print it full size w/o adjusting it to fit to your paper you should be ok.

Good luck!

You probably have your guides

You probably have your guides turned off. I think it's under the "Views" menu option.
Also I think Ctrl+; will turn guides on for you.

if only the world could be managed by people more like you there would be less of a deficit, less losing wars, less poor mofos going hungry, less of all that crap...

Nitron is fully compatible

Nitron is fully compatible with Vortex accessories, allowing you to take advantage of Nitron's capabilities for extra storage and quick reloading. Check the TV listings and program reviews ahead of time for programs your family can watch together (i.e., developmentally appropriate and nonviolent programs that reinforce your family's values). Some common fun baby toys for water play are colorful floaters, squirting rubber ducks, and waterproof cameras.

To narrow the many great toys

To narrow the many great toys down to just ten may be a little bit difficult, but certainly these ten will be amongst the top ten selling Christmas toys, 2011. Additionally, there is a wide range of accessories (sold separately) that work with the Dora Links doll, to not only expand traditional offline doll play, but to also expand the online experience as well. If you are still wondering what type of toys that will definitely last a whole childhood, one word: WOOD.

Just use the label templates

Just use the label templates in PDF. Open them up in PS and use as a Layer / guideline. Delete the layer before printing.
