CD Label template files for PC:
GENERAL NOTES:
These templates are designed for ease of use with most
major art packages. Users should familiarise themselves with
these packages and have their User's guides handy.
When using graphic images that are meant to cover the
entire label, it is best to extend the image beyond the actual
border of the label, or "bleed" the image. This will ensure
proper coverage.
When printing from these templates, it may be necessary
to change the portrait/landscape setting in "page setup" to
accomodate your printer.
Templates are provided for A4 sizes for the following
software packages. A full description of how to use them
is provided below:

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN TEMPLATES
The templates supplied are designed for use with most
laser and inkjet printers. Due to the mechanical nature of
printers it is difficult to gurantee that all the templates
will align perfectly on the first try. It may be necessary
to adjust the image in your design document to ensure proper
alignment.
If you wish to create your own template or modify a
template, the following information will be
useful.
Set the page/paper size to landscape A4 or US Letter
to match that of your label stock then draw:
Front label for CD jewel case
Box 118mm wide x 45mm deep at a position 24.5mm across
and 10mm down from the top left corner of the page.
(15.7mm & 13mm for US Letter size).
-----------------------
Spine label for CD jewel case
Box 118mm wide x 7mm deep at a position 24.5mm across
and 65mm down from the top left corner of the page.
(15.7mm & 68mm for US Letter size)
-----------------------
CD labels
Outer circle 118mm diameter & inner circle 41mm diameter
whose centres are at a position 83.5mm across and 141mm down
from the top left corner of the page.
(74.7mm & 144mm for US Letter size).
Both labels are then repeated with the positional
dimensions relative to the bottom right hand corner of the page.

This template may be opened in any version that supports
layers. This template is provided with guidelines on one layer
and a mask on another layer. The guide lines indicate the
edges of the labels, while the mask allows for image bleeding.
The guide lines must be deleted before printing.
To see the mask, open the "layers pallet" by selecting
"windows", "pallets", "show layers". Switch to "channels" and
click on the space to the left of "work layer mask". This will
show the mask.
YOU MUST DELETE THE GUIDE LINES BEFORE PRINTING.
On the layers pallet, select "guides - "delete before printing" layer
by clicking anywhere on that line. Then click on the arrow
pointing to the right on the upper right side of the layer
pallet and select delete layer.
NOTE: When placing work in the work layer, ensure that
The blank page (left thumbnail) on the work layer (second line
of the layers pallet) is selected, not the label layout
thumbnail on the right or you risk modifying the mask.

The label area is shown by guide lines, which under

To view the actual label area, from the 'Tools' menu select
'Options', then select 'General' and check 'Blue Background,
White Text'. The guide lines will not be printed. Remember
to reset the 'Options' after printing your labels.
The position of all the objects are relative to the page
margins. If the image area is slightly offset to the label when
printing then adjust the margins accordingly under 'Page Setup'
until they are aligned.
To include graphics, import your image and then enclose
it in a frame by selecting the graphic in Word document and
then selecting 'insert' 'frame' from the menu options. You may
then place the graphic frame anywhere on the document.
