QSL Label Editor

Unread post by DL2RUM »

Currently I'm working on a Label Editor to make the QSL label printing more flexible.

I want to know which label size do you would prefer? (Staples-, Zweckform-, Avery-, Dymo- or what ever number)

If you are talking about QSL labels that include the QSO info, then I find that the Avery 5163 label is ideal. Not sure if it is available readily in Europe, but it is fairly common here in the US.

Thanks for a great program!

If you are talking about address labels to mail QSOs, then I find that the Avery 5160 size is quite useful, and readily available here in the US.

I'm talking about labels to print the QSO data to stick it on a QSL card.
For address label printing, you can use the Max OS-X Addressbook, it has great label printing features. BTW, In the next future you can take over the address data from qrz.com into your address book with a simple mouse click.

Great!!! Then, at least for me, the Avery 5163 label is the best....gives plenty of room for QSO data. 2" x 4" (apx 5 x 10 cm) fits nicely on the back of a QSL card.

Avery is good, as it is a common format these days. I am currently using Avery for the current QSL card label printing with RUMlog.

The question is concerning the label size! There are a lot of different manufacturers with a different numbering systems but with the similar products.
I prefer labels 70mm x 36mm, organized in 3 x 8 on a DIN A4 sheet.

Oops :oops: Yes, I missed that, sorry.
I use Avery Multi-Function Labels A4 3475 which are the 70mm x 36mm labels.
