Members burdizzos Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 What do you use to label your demo CD's? I have no interest in shelling out a bunch of money, so I'd like to know about cheap solutions that will work well and give use a decent product.

Members PaulyWally Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Get some stick-on labels and run them through your printer. They make round sticky labels specifically for CD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassplayer7770 Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, I personally hate those frickin' CD sticker labels. My band has a DVD Kit. One of our singer's husband designed our DVD Cover which includes a band photo, contact info, and a songlist sample. We just write on the DVD with a Sharpie and throw in a business card. That's how another popular cover band in town does it, and it works for them. They also told us to just leave the band bio for the website, so we did...

Is there a Word template for that? I'd just like to make the demo CD itself look cool without a label coming off and {censored}ing up a potential gig's CD player.

I'm pretty sure he used Photoshop and sent us the PDF file when he was finished. We used these measurements as a guide. The final measurement for our DVD cover was 10.75 by 7.25.

Members One Bad Monkey Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Depending if you're in the market for a new inkjet printer, you can get one that is able to print directly onto inkjet receptive CD/DVDs. I have one (Epson R220) and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Just go out and drop some cash on a lightscribe-enabled burner. The blanks will will run you ~$18 for 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
