BearBoy Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Have been looking for some (inkjet) printable labels to apply to MiniDiscs and I've not been able to find any that are pretty much the correct size. I know I could buy larger ones and cut them down but just wondered if anyone knew of any that fit without needing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 If I just consider the "full size" label, which occupies the left half of the top of an MO disc: Across a range of Sony, TDK and Maxell discs, this label seems a pretty consistent 52mm H x 35mm W. The mould depression in the disc typically gives a 1mm margin on all sides (so 54mm x 37mm). I know these are "address labels", not "proper" MD labels... On eBay I can find 50x36 labels, 32 per A4 sheet, e.g.: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/White-A4-Laser-Printer-Copier-Inkjet-Sheets-Sticky-Self-Adhesive-Address-Labels/171028860767?hash=item27d21d4f5f:m:mjtNPA7UGsdZ-UFtQVqDl9A 52x30 (taller, narrower): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A4-Address-Labels-All-Sizes-Sticky-Self-Adhesive-Sheets-for-Inkjet-Laser/252590025184?hash=item3acf89e9e0:m:mWZpvtpnodG7bQ6q_qkV8qg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBoy Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks Kevin. I’ll take a look at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I found these too: 1. The PressIT labels are mentioned on minidisc.org I found this live website listing them and it seems you can buy them at £3.75 per pack of 5 A4 sheets (inkjet and laser) which totals 60 labels each for MD and spine. Can't see any other details though, like label size. Blurb says 12 MD labels and 12 spine labels (doesn't seem many for an A4 sheet!): https://www.rpadistribution.co.uk/Items/120.htm ...however I did try to "Add to Basket" and it went to a duff page. There is a London phone number: 020 3183 0000. 2. Avery Vinyl labels Having a bit of a google, using vinyl labels is suggested, e.g. Avery 22828 which are 1 3/4" x 1 1/4" (45mm x 32mm). Inkjet and laser compatible it says. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Avery-Removable-Durable-Rectangular-22828/dp/B009KLXQJW/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=avery+22828&qid=1590005694&sr=8-1 found here in a later comment (active thread in the past couple of days!): Digging a bit more, there seems to be quite an active MD following on reddit. Just been following a few threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
