Printable labels are the focus of a new Web site, PrintableLabels.net, which offers nearly 100 styles of address and mailing labels for home and business use, all free to download and print.

There are dozens of return address label designs, from holiday themes to professions to simply attractive images to affix to letters, packages and more. PrintableLabels.net also offers a wide variety of mailing labels (also known as shipping labels), which are larger in size and print out 30 to a sheet. (The address labels are sized at 80 per sheet).

"From cats to construction helmets, there are full-color illustrated labels for almost everyone," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. PrintableLabels.net is the latest of nearly 50 sites in the FreePrintable.net family.

The business-oriented labels include construction, gardening, painting and computer themes and more. There are holiday-themed address and mailing labels as well as labels for special occasions such as weddings and graduation, making them ideal for sending invitations and thank-you notes. There are religious labels, school-themed labels and kids' labels as well as perennial favorites such as ladybugs, flowers, puppies and the American flag.

"This is a site I've been working on for quite some time," Savetz said. "My goal was to create a resource with a large array of address and mailing label designs, themes and styles, and I believe I have succeeded."

The labels are free to download and print, and are in .DOC form so that they can be easily saved and customized in Microsoft Word to use again and again. Users simply type their own information over the placeholder text.

PrintableLabels.net labels are sized to be compatible with commonly available label stock, and corresponding Avery brand label product numbers are listed on the site for convenience.

"I took care to make the labels the same size as popular commercial peel-and-stick label paper so site users can create their own labels with their home or office printer," Savetz explained. "However, people can also just print the labels onto regular paper, cut them apart and glue or tape them securely to letters, packages or property."

While each label design can be individually downloaded and printed at no cost, PrintableLabels.net also offers another convenient, time-saving option: For $9, users can download all of the nearly 100 label designs in one easy-to-open file. All of the label designs can be saved and used again and again at no additional cost.

There are nearly 50 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
