My order for 200 Online Labels was delivered in two days, sooner than expected, and packaged securely in a sturdy yet planet-destroying plastic clamshell. The sheets are plain with no markings whatsoever and I need to look closely for the scoring to know on which side to print. These are full-face labels, and print perfectly using the Avery 8944 template. The package includes an activation code for Maestro label designer software which I have not used because I already have a program (Ronya) that works well.As other reviewers have noted, it is difficult to align the labels precisely on the discs because the center hole is larger than the centering spindle. I place the label face-down on an old CD spindle, center it the best I can by eye, and then place the CD over it. That gets it close but the main problem is that the labels are bowed after removing the backing, so they shift as the discs are pressed onto them. If I could figure out a way to get them to lie flat then the alignment would be more precise.The alignment glitch aside, these labels are a good value for anyone who makes a lot of CDs. Would buy again.New info: Last night I printed a couple of labels but did not apply them until this morning, and to my delight they laid almost completely flat on the bottom of the CD spindle, and I was able to apply them almost perfectly centered. Apparently allowing some hours of curing time before removing the printed labels from the backing helps. However, the joy sparked by this discovery was tempered by finding a couple of damaged sheets; one was wrinkled and the other had a score line running through both labels.

Reasonably priced good quality and access to their design and print software. Very easy to use.

I have a huge vinyl LP collection and have been working on ripping them to CD's for some time, so I've been through a lot of labels. The ones I was using previously were great, but no longer available, so I decided to give these a try, as the label-on-sheet configuration was similar to those I was using before. These work great in my HP printer, so no problems there at all. They also work great in terms of peeling from the sheet, and adhesion to the discs.The labels come with access to the manufacturer's website for a template to design and print your labels. I did check it out, and it works fine if you are looking for quick, generic labeling just to get the job done. However, I use a professional graphic design program that I have been using for years, which allows me to make my own layout template based on exact measurements, and I can design just about anything to actually print on the label.Now, getting to my one and only complaint about these labels - the center punch-out for alignment to the spindle opening in the disc. I have a label applicator tool (see my photo) which is designed to use this cut-out to align the label when the disc is pressed down on it from above (upside down). With my previous labels this worked great, as the cut-out was exactly the size of the alignment post/CD opening. These new labels however, do not have the correct size opening to fit the tool post. The cut-out is oversized by 1/8", which is very significant. As such, I now have to align the label very carefully on the applicator before I also carefully place the disc and apply the label. Otherwise I get labels that are off-center enough to either hang off one edge of the disc, or in some cases make the disc imbalanced so it does not function well in a player. I have not researched to see if this manufacturer makes their own application tool that alleviates this issue, but I'm doubtful that it exists, because it would have to have two inner spindle sections, one for the label and a different one for the disc. If this does exist, and I find it, I will get one and revise my review.Update: I haven't found an applicator yet that makes allowance for these larger center holes (you would think that Online-Labels would have one of their own - why not?), but I did find a solution, and I've seen another reviewer has done the same. If you can find a small rubber o-ring designed to fit 1/2" or 13mm, it will fit around the spindle and make up the difference in the hole size of the label, so that it aligns correctly every time. (attached an additional photo as well)All in all, these are a good value and generally work fine.

Templates from their website make it easy to create labels. Perfect fit on the Blu-rays I burn.

Works well easy to print

The label itself is good and adheres well to my CDs. However, there are no lines showing where the labels are on the sheet so it is hard to tell which side goes up when putting it in the printer and it is harder to see the edge to get the label off of the sheet. Also, the code for the software is only good for 1 year. It will take me more than a year to use up all the labels I ordered but thankfully I have other label software that works for these labels so I am OK on that.

I was impressed with the labels and the adhesive on the labels. Nice print surface and a link to printing software included. Highly recommended.

This is my first time using this brand and I did have some reservations after reading several reviews complaining about the print quality. I can tell you that I've been using a lot of CD and DVD labels for over 20 years and the print quality of these labels match or surpass any label I've ever used. Another thing, I really like. With most labels I've used in the past, the circles are not quite centered. That means if I set my software to match the label cutouts in one direction, then turn the label sheet in the opposite direction, the printing and label cutouts are off, sometimes a lot! This is very important to me when I only print an odd number of labels and later turn the sheet over to print another label. I don't know of this will be consistent from run to run, but so far, I'm a very happy customer!
