steveplym Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Looks like a new item on ebay. P-15 address labels. Convertible, Coupe, and Sedan. I would think you could print these up yourself, but neat none the less. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1946-PLYMOUTH-SPECIAL-DELUXE-CON-COUPE-PERS-ADD-LABELS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1171Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a2Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem220386825808QQitemZ220386825808QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Usually those lables are adhesive on the back.....just peel from their backing and stick on envelope. Is there a sheet of paper which works that way you can use to make these? He says he is simply using stock images he has found, but will use a pic of your own car if you want - no extra charge. Just need to have a good background as he will not change it for free. l like the idea and wouldn't mind ordering, or even making my own. My problem is I'm not sure I could make this computer produce those with my lack of expertise. It's possible they could even be made by a local quick print shop. Quote
RobertKB Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Cool idea but you could do it yourself or have it done locally. The poster will probably make lots of sales as I imagine he does it for all cars, not just our beloved P15/D24/D25's and others. Quote
Frank Elder Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 After seeing Robin's cards, I bet he knows how. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 If you own a computer all things are possible. You just have to learn how to use your word processing program to make cards, address labels, etc. You can insert any picture you want into those if it's on your computer. Just tell your word processing program to open a new document. When it ask what kind of document you want to create, find the Avery address labels, shipping labels, calling cards, or whatever you are trying to make. Click on that and it will bring up the template to make whatever. Then select the proper template. Hunt around a little until you find the right one. Then just play with it until you perfect it the way you want it. I made this calling card back in the mid 90's. I've deleted my last name, phone number and email address from it. This is a scan after I printed off a sheet on plain paper so the pictures didn't come out good in the scan. If I had scanned an actual card, they would have been nice and sharp. You can buy card stock from the office supply store to print them. You don't need calling card stock. Just buy the smooth ream of 8 1/2 x 11" card stock, then cut them. The cards are split evenly on that size card stock and 10 to a page. You can get a lot more address labels on a sheet of those. But.........you can also set up that same thing as a return address on an envelope in the word processing program. Then just print the return address you made on it with your pictures directly onto the envelope one at a time as needed. This is why a lot of small printers are hurting for business today. It's so easy to do it on the computer. Quote
Robin (UK) Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 l like the idea and wouldn't mind ordering, or even making my own. My problem is I'm not sure I could make this computer produce those with my lack of expertise. If you buy sheets of Avery sticky labels, they will carry a software code. Go into your Word program and you should be able to set up the page using the code (use Tools/Labels/Label Options), so the on-screen layout matches the layout of the labels. Enter your text and picture into one frame, copy into the other frames and... bingo!... Print your labels. Hope this helps. Quote

I use a photo tool, (Paint Shop Pro) to create a label sized picture with photo and text, then I use the Word Tool to insert this photo to the label sheet. I used to do it in two steps, just using Word, first I inserted a photo and printed that label, then I re-printed using the text address. I found more control of sizes by using the Paint Shop Pro tool to create the one image for the label. Dennis Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Dennis, If you use the word program as Robin and I describe you can do it all at one time, including inserting your picture and text where you want it. You can do it in other word processing programs too. I used word perfect to make that calling card. Quote
