Mac Program For Printing Labels



For

This blog post is about printing labels from an iPhone or iPad using an app called. I have another article about. Take your pick! UPDATE: there’s a new label-making app that you ought to try. It’s called “Label Printer.” How’s THAT for being straight to the point?

Is still great but having choices is great too. It’s time to mail your holiday cards.

You may recall from previous posts (, and ) that when it comes to printing mailing labels from an iPhone or iPad, I really like the app called. Lucky us: Address Labels for CardLists’ developer updated his app recently, making it even easier to produce good-looking mailing labels directly from our iOS devices. Here’s how the updated app works.

Hi, On my iMac I set up my addresses in Contacts so I could print some address labels but when I went to print it didn’t show any Avery templates to use on my Brother HL-1112 Black & White Laser printer ( all 46 templates for laser printers didn’t show in contacts, all started with 3 or 7 ). Endicia for Mac is the only native, built-just-for-the-Mac shipping software for printing mailing labels, envelopes and postage. Since 2003, Endicia has been supporting Mac users with an award-winning native Mac application. If you want to print labels that will have different text on each label, you can set up a new label document and type each label. But if you have a data source, such as an address list in an Excel spreadsheet or the contacts information stored on your Mac, you can merge that data with the labels document to fill out your labels. • Belight Software Labels and Addresses: An inexpensive Mac program that lets you print labels using a Zebra printer and a database. An extra advantage to this program is that it can be used to print envelopes and postcards with a laser or inkjet sheet-form printer.

(If you want to print mailing labels from your Mac, use the Contacts app– formerly known as “the Address Book app.” to my article showing you how to do that.) First thing to do: download the app. (The screenshots in this tutorial are from my iPhone 6s, but the app works just as well on an iPad.) When you start the app, you’ll something like this: Do what it says: tap the “+” button (upper right) to create a new list. (The app can manage as many lists as you like– maybe you’ll make one list of Christmas card recipients, another with customers, maybe a third with classmates. Here we’ll just work with one list.) Address Labels for CardLists helps you name your list (choose from the scrolling lists or just name your list yourself, as I did.). For this example I am going to send a card to people named “Chris” so I’ve named my list that way. Tap “Save” at top right when you’re done.

(You can edit the name later if you change your mind so don’t spend too much time on choosing the perfect name.) See below. Here’s my “list of lists” (just the one list). Tapping the circled red “ i” would let me rename the list, FYI. Now we want to put some names into our list. Address Labels for CardLists gives you two ways to do it: copy names and addresses from your iPhone’s existing contacts (easy), and enter the names yourself, for Address Labels for CardLists’ exclusive use (harder). If you’re going to type in addresses, I think it’s better to type them into the Contacts app on the iPhone or iPad rather than directly into Address Labels for CardLists. Then let Address Labels for CardLists pull them in.

In this way, your iPhone will “know” about these new addresses, making them available for Maps and other apps that use location data. (It is important to recognize that Address Labels for CardLists “pulls in” data from your existing contacts. It doesn’t “share” with your iPhone’s built-in Contacts app– it’s a one-way, one-time “pull.” This is a huge plus, as it lets you make changes to the mailing labels after you’ve pulled in the names, without messing up your iPhone’s contacts.

Let’s say, for example, that you have a contact on your iPhone for “Joe Smith.” You want to print a label for him but you want it to say “The Smith Family.” Address Labels for CardLists lets you do that for the label while leaving the original contact untouched.) Whether you’re going to import names and addresses from your iPhone’s existing contacts, or add them directly to Address Labels for CardLists’ data, you start by tapping the blue text that says “Tap to add names.” It’s right under the name of your list. Now you see your choices. We’re going to tap the Contacts button, which leads us to a screen asking us to allow Address Labels for CardLists to access your contacts.
