it's the branding and the packaging that makes all the difference
hi I'm Donna from art craft crazy nowadays printing can be done at home if
you've got a color printer, a rubber stamp or any cellophane bags I can help you to
look good today I'm going to show you how to make these plain avery tags into
your own so we're gonna print on them I'll show you how to set up the printing
and then all you need is to pop them into a cellophane bag I've got a couple
of different designs so if you haven't got. or if you don't use Photoshop, or you
don't think you can handle printing onto the tags I'll show you a couple of
alternatives. I'll show you this one first we're going to use the Avery
shipping tag and a piece of vellum paper
I've used the size (5) five which is a 120 x 60mm
so first off just choose your vellum paper choose a color that's going to
look nice over the Manila paper now where you score your tag will depend on
how long your jewelry piece is and you've got to take in mind that it needs
to fit into your cellophane bag once it's folded over as well
I scored mine at 24mm, now cut your vellum piece it needs to be the
same width as the tag and just a little bit shorter from the fold line at the
top to the bottom, put a little piece of narrow double-sided tape at the top the
vellum will just swing from the top of the tag I didn't secure it at the bottom
it didn't really need it
what I like about this display tag is that it folds over and holds the earring
hook perfectly it just has that little bit of room this style earring hook
doesn't lay flat you'll see what I mean when I put it in the bag so you can add
a sticker or a rubber stamp logo to the back of this *tag, the front
looks nice and clean and uncluttered so in a mean the earrings aren't flat so by
having the flap it adds depth to the package now I'll show you how to do
DIRECT PRINTING and we're going to print straight on to the Avery tags the tacks
come in bundles of four and they're slightly connected I use Photoshop to do
my designing so make an A for canvas with a transparent background first
create a box the size of your tag and then duplicate that layer so you have
four of them first tag second third and fourth now create a background and/or a
logo for each tag I've made them different but you can make them all the
same
three and four now you can reduce the opacity of the background and the logo
so you just use this slider to make your opacity higher or lower and save your
work often now we're ready to save our work as a PDF in preparation to print go
to your layers on the right here and hide the artwork we just want to be left
with the outline boxes go up to the layer menu at the top and down to
flatten images and say okay to discard go to file then print now select your
printer as Adobe PDF make sure landscape is checked and your size 100% and click
print name it blank tags and save it in your
Documents folder we'll come back to that later now you've saved that image as a
PDF we're going to go and do the same with the logo now come back to your
photoshop and go to edit and step backward once go to your layers on the
right and now we'll unhide the logos so bring them back so you can see them
again now this time we're going to hide the
boxes so hide each layer and just be left with the logo and the background we
don't want to print the borders on the tag they're not a part of the design
same again go to layers on the menu bar and down to
flatten image click OK now we're going to open file then print
because we're going to save this one as a PDF do the same again it'll remember
that it was in a Adobe PDF make sure it's on landscape if it's not change it
make sure it's 100% and click print down the bottom and name your file as your
background logo now that'll save in your documents or wherever you save it
now come back to your Photoshop worksheet I'm going to go back up to the
menu and click Edit and click step backward once so it'll no longer be
flattened it'll be back in our working sheet I'm going to unhide the outline
layers again and bring it back to normal
now we're ready to print got a print from the PDF open up the PDF template
for the tags and change it to landscape make sure that you're at a hundred
percent and click print now take notice of how this comes out of
your printer see how the tags are on the right-hand side that's how I'm going to
put this end in first when I tape my tags on top of this and put it back in
the printer now I'm just checking that my tags are going to fit the template
and I'm going to use some sticky tape to tape these down I'm going to hold them
just on the very edge of the tags because I don't want to ruin the tag
when I pull the sticky tape off I don't want it to rip the tag so just catching
a very small amount of the tag and when it's held in place I'm going to put it
back into the printer remember I said to take note of how it
went in the first type and I'm going to print using the second PDF of the
artwork directly on to the tags so get that PDF out and click print make sure
it's a 100% and landscape now that'll run through the printer provided you
taped it down well enough it'll hold and print through now carefully take your
tags off the template cut the tags apart at the holding points and get ready to
score the line I scored mine at 24mm and that fit my earrings and
it also fit my cellophane bag so these style earrings you can't poke them
through the two single holes they clip nicely in this single tag hole it's actually
perfect for them the set-up time is really worth it they look really good on
this type of tag so pop that in a cellophane bag and it's
to go. see what I mean by not having the logo so loud you don't want it
overpowering your jewelry now we'll do the background logo printing directly
onto a piece of white cardstock so all I've done is I've got a piece of white
cardstock I've created a background and a mock logo this is good if you don't
have or want to use the Avery tags oh go to Photoshop and I've created a a4
sized canvas and I've dissected it into card shapes whatever size you want and
you can use your rulers in Photoshop to move them and get them where you want it
or just create boxes like I did for the Avery cards once you've designed your
patency backgrounds and your logo on that a4 sheet just print it out cut them
into your cards and round the corners using your corner round punch again you
can make them all the same or have a bit of variety depends on what piece you're
going to use them for I have a template made for the holes these are good for
the hook earrings just your standard hook earrings pop them in and put them
in a cellophane bag another nice and simple way to display your jewelry you
can put a sticker on the back with your phone number and address if you wanted
to us as well it's so simple to print at home they really compliment the jewelry
if you don't make it too bright and too loud it's just there I particularly like
this vellum one I hope this has inspired you to do your own branding and
packaging because it really does make a difference
i'm Donna from art craft crazy thanks for watching and bye for now
