Donald, Our lab uses Avery brand Easy Peel Address Labels 18160. There are 30 labels per sheet. I use Microsoft Excel to prepare my labels which usually include site name, plot number, replication number, sample type, and date. However, there is always plenty of room for more lines. I then import my Excel sheet into Microsoft Access and use the label wizard in that program to print my labels with Avery template 5160. I know this is not a label maker per se but is a fairly cheap way of creating labels that stick well to plastic and glass containers. Hope this helps. Cheers,
