- Avery is a brand name synomimous with labels of a high quality
- designed specifically for printers of all types. A lot of
- research, time, and money has gone into the production of this
- label and the result is a cleverly designed label which is white
- on one side and sticky on the reverse.As both sides of this label
- are a breakthrough in technology they are worth discussing
- seperately.
-
- THE WHITE SIDE: This is the most technologically advanced side
- and like the pocket calculator was a spin off from the NASA Space
- Program Research Laboratories, they were trying to find which
- colour toilet tissue was most absorbent in a vacuum, which Avery
- purchased the rights to. The first startling thing about the
- White Side is that everything you ask your computer to print on
- the label is reproduced exactly on the label with no additions or
- ommissions. But that is not the end of it. Amaze your friends
- with this little experiment. Get a pen with a blue top and write
- on the label, it comes out BLUE, then do the same thing with a
- pen with a red top, it comes out RED, the same thing happens with
- green and black. However, if you use a pen with no top at all the
- colour is completely random. The latest rumour in the label world
- is that the famous pen maker Parker is about to release an Avery
- compatable pen which writes in orange and white stripes, will
- this be the end of printed labels as we know them?
-
- STICKY SIDE: As we all know glue is made from horses hooves and
- it takes a total of 11 knackered old horses (or 14 of those cute
- little Shetland Ponies) to make one sticky label. Well worth it
- don't you think? Sticky labels have many uses the most common. as
- we all know, is printing KICK ME on them and sticking the on
- friends backs. A program to print this is available from most PD
- libraries or from James on reciept of a blank disk. However, with
- a little imagination there are other things you can do. Very
- often I draw eyes on my Avery labels, stick them on my glasses
- and sit at my desk all day fast asleep with nobody the wiser.
-
- SIZE: Avery labels come on an A4 sheet. The number ranges from
- four per sheet to lots and lots per sheet. An A4 sheet fits
- perfectly into a computer and measures, for the precise minded
- that is 11.8 inches x 8.2 inches or for the more precise minded
- 29.8cm. x 21cm or for the, want do you want blood, minded
- 0.0001862 of a mile x 0.0001294 of a mile.
-
- COST: The best thing about Avery labels is that they are free.
- Of course to get them free there are certain conditions, as
- follows:
-
- 1) You must work in an office.
- 2) You must fill out a stationery order.
- 3) You must not get caught doing above.
- 4) You must unpack delivery of stationery order.
- 5) You must not get caught doing above.
- 6) You must hide labels.
- 7) You must not get caught doing above.
- 8) You must smuggle out labels.
- 9) You must not get caught doing above.
