Orlando, Fla. – Online Labels, Inc., the leader in blank labels for laser and inkjet printers, announces the launch of Cause Related Labeling, a program designed to provide all qualifying non-profit organizations and charitable causes nationwide with free labels. The effort will assist all types of organizations that use printable labels in their everyday operations such as special events, branding, fundraising efforts, direct mailings and administrative purposes. In three days since the program’s inception, OnlineLabels.com has honored the requests of over 15 different charitable causes, donating approximately 10,000 labels. These organizations include Habitat for Humanity, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Child Abuse Prevention Association, Autism Society of America and The Georgia Writers Association. For an updated list, visit http://www.onlinelabels.com/ol_helped.htm. “I heard that OnlineLabels.com was a great place to buy labels, so when I received an email from them I checked out their site and noticed they were offering to donate labels to non-profit organizations,” said Jeanne Powers, founder of Handicapped Friends Pen Pals Club. “I was a little skeptical, but filled out the request anyway. I was so blown away when I got a response telling me they were sending the labels I asked for.” Representatives from non-profit organizations or special events that benefit non-profit organizations may visit http://www.onlinelabels.com/charity.htm to view the terms and conditions of the program. When filling out the application, users may select any label size and material in quantities of up to 100 label sheets per request. Currently, any label shape offered by OnlineLabels.com may be requested including, ribbon labels, name tags, address labels, CD/DVD labels, specialty shape labels, water bottle labels, circle labels, shipping labels and many more. “As a company, we decided this program would be a fantastic way for us to give back to the many causes that do good in this world, since they have a need and we have the labels” says Dave Carmany, president of OnlineLabels.com. “To us, there’s no limit on how many causes and organizations we can help through our Cause Related Labeling program, and it’s absolutely brought everyone in our company closer together since we’ve already helped a few causes that personally mean a great deal to people around here.” To further support this initiative, OnlineLabels.com will provide free access to Maestro Label Designer, an exclusive tool that enables users to create, save and print label designs with no downloading necessary. Additionally, free blank label templates as well as predesigned label templates are available on the Company’s website for use in label creation. “The Cause Related Labeling program enables every size and type of non-profit organization to receive labels that they can use for whatever their need may be,” adds Carmany. “Whether it’s customizing water bottle labels for an event, addressing postcards for a mailing, or simply creating name tags for a fundraiser, if we can make buying labels one less headache to worry about, then this program will be a success.” Launched 1998, Online Labels Inc. offers the world’s largest selection of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers.

Orlando, Fla. – Online Labels, Inc. announces the launch of two brand new materials, including cardstock, which is outside of the Company’s core product line of blank labels. Much like they do for blank labels, customers can turn to OnlineLabels.com for printable business cards, door hanger advertisements and customizable thank you notes. Additionally, OnlineLabels.com now offers “True Purple” as a material option in all 130 standard label sizes and configurations. “Creating the world’s largest inventory of ready-to-ship, in-stock labels is not something that happened overnight, and it’s not ever going to stop growing based on the needs of our customers,” says Dave Carmany, president of OnlineLabels.com. “Our biggest priority is giving our customers options by conducting product development research and offering various sizes and materials that people have a hard time finding anywhere else.” “It made good business sense for us to explore offering cardstock because it is available on standard letter sheets, it can be printed on by virtually any laser or inkjet printer, and people can design them much in the same ways they do the labels, using their usual design software,” adds Carmany. After numerous customer requests, OnlineLabels.com introduces the color purple to the existing “True Colors” label material line already being offered. Among the label colors that the purple label material joins are cream, green, blue, red, grey, and yellow. “Since we’re the label manufacturer, we have the capacity to easily introduce new label materials and colors without having to increase prices,” adds Carmany, “True purple adds another dimension to our color line, and helps our customers build and expand on their own brands or product lines, and that’s the goal.” Launched 1998, Online Labels Inc. offers the world’s largest selection of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers. A division of Consolidated Label, Inc., the Company is a privately-held label manufacturer and Internet retailer based in Longwood Fla.

The cardstock material is OnlineLabels.com’s first venture outside of blank label sheets. It is a non-adhesive, 7.5 point, uncoated heavyweight paper that is the brightest, whitest, uncoated, printable paper on the market. Currently, there are four standard configurations being offered in cardstock; business cards, two different sizes of door hanger advertisements, and thank you notes.
Orlando, Fla. – When asked what he does for a living, Dave Carmany, founder and president of Online Labels, Inc. tends to give a couple of different answers. “I help small businesses with their labeling needs,” or, “We sell blank labels for laser and inkjet printers.” When all else fails however, he goes back to the old standby, “Have you ever purchased label sheets from an office supply store? Well, imagine the exact same labels available in more sizes and more materials, at a fraction of the cost.” The latter answer tends to strike the biggest chord. At one time or another, blank label sheets have made their way into every start-up company, non-profit, small business or large corporation by way of an office supply store. It was Carmany who ten years ago decided this wasn’t a monopoly, rather an opportunity. In 1998, Carmany set out on his quest, to offer small and large businesses all over the world an affordable alternative for their label needs backed by customer support which extended beyond the initial sale. Looking at him now, one would say he’s succeeded. “In the mid 1990’s, I was working as a customer service representative for a large custom label manufacturer, where I became intimately familiar with the ways in which companies purchased their labels,” adds Carmany. “I saw small business owners being forced to deal with high minimum order requirements, setup charges, and a myriad of other costs that made it difficult for them to launch a product without investing thousands of dollars on labels.” With knowledge and industry research in his favor, Carmany assessed the market and realized most small business owners already had their own laser or inkjet printers as well as a basic familiarity with most desktop software applications. With this in mind, Carmany begged the question, “What if business owners could print their own product labels?” It was at that moment a company was born. “I ratcheted up my business plan and launched www.OnlineLabels.com. The site was focused on the desktop printable blank label market, a market that was dominated by office supply store chains,” Carmany mentions. “Small businesses turned to big box retailers like Staples®, Office Depot®, and Office Max® for their labeling needs, only to be met with frustration in dealing with limited selection, order requirements and having to turn elsewhere to find accompanying design software.” The office supply stores’ stranglehold on the market made the first few years of business very challenging for Carmany and his fledgling company. However, this Dave wasn’t about to let these Goliaths get the best of him either. He positioned OnlineLabels.com accordingly, and within months began offering products and services that went above and beyond the retailers’ offerings. Two immediate areas of focus were offering more selection than just address and mailing labels as well as employing a manufacturer-direct pricing model that allowed him to severely undercut the office supply stores on price. Years later, OnlineLabels.com has not only endured, but thrived. Carmany would attribute the success not only to his selection and pricing model, but to the Company’s ability to create and answer to consumers’ demand. “Small business owners needed more sizes and material options. More importantly, they needed labels which didn’t look as though they came from an ordinary desktop printer. This was something the office supply stores couldn’t offer.” Carmany wasn’t through with distancing OnlineLabels.com in the marketplace. Listening to the needs of small business owners all over the world, certain trends began to emerge, which translated into additional opportunities, and eventually dollars. Adding to the array of offerings, OnlineLabels.com introduced no minimum orders, same day shipping, a “No Hassle” return policy and most recently, an exclusive label design software, Maestro Label Designer. Available free of charge to OnlineLabels.com customers, Maestro Label Designer is a breakthrough technology that allows users to design, save and print their labels right from the site. There are no downloads necessary and Maestro is considered industry-wide to be the premium alternative to bulky software and the limited design capabilities of common applications such as Microsoft Word. As Carmany puts it, “Maestro further solidifies OnlineLabels.com as a one-stop resource for almost every kind of label application.” So how have small businesses responded? Today, thousands of companies are buying their labels from OnlineLabels.com rather than the office supply stores, and saving between 40-90% in doing so. It should be noted that small businesses aren’t the only ones paying attention to OnlineLabels.com. Currently, there are over 100 companies listed in the Fortune 500 that are regular customers of the Company. Through it all, Carmany remains as actively engaged in the business as he was ten years ago. On a daily basis he can be found seeking out ways to improve the company, expand offerings, streamline processes and as always, enhance the customer buying experience. “Every day, I hear stories from our customers about how much money we saved them or how our labels gave their business a jump start. These stories constantly inspire me and my employees to continue creating innovative labeling solutions for all types of businesses. The future is never certain, but we know if we stay focused on our goal of helping businesses to create great labels there will always be room for us in the market.” So don’t be surprised if the next time Carmany is asked what he does for a living, he answers with a smile, “I like to think I help business of all sizes with their sticky situations.” He means labels, of course. Launched 1998, Online Labels Inc. has sold over 5 billion labels rapidly becoming the world’s largest supplier of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers.

Orlando, Fla. – With the first recorded order dating back to January 16, 1998, Dave Carmany, founder of Online Labels, Inc. (www.OnlineLabels.com), often takes a moment to reflect on how many changes there’s been within his company and the industry to not only survive, but become the largest online retailer of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers in the world. “We launched OnlineLabels.com in the midst of the dot-com bubble, with hopes that we’d be able to make some sales, garner a good reputation and provide our customers an alternative to buying overpriced labels from office supply stores,” mentions Carmany. “It’s staying true to our business model, which varied drastically from a typical dot-com at the time, that’s enabled us to not only sustain, but to succeed and become a multi-million dollar company with significant market share.” The Company’s business model stayed away from the ‘get big fast strategy’ as many dot-coms relied on during their initial launches. Instead, the Company focused on core business practices such as building market share, efficiency, customer service and growing a loyal customer base. As a privately-held company, Online Labels, Inc. does not share revenue information. However, year-over-year since inception, the Company has seen a minimum 30% revenue growth, with 2007 statistics included. The largest growth margin Online Labels, Inc. experienced was in 2002, when sales spiked by 75% from the previous year. “Although we are based in Orlando, the Internet has granted us access to a customer base that spans the globe, and that is the beauty of eCommerce” adds Carmany. “We’ve been very strategic in our marketing both on and offline, which has enabled us to focus both on customer retention and new customer acquisition.” In addition to having the largest selection of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers in the world, there are other factors which distance Online Labels, Inc. from its competitors in the thinning market landscape. The Company employs a price-beat guarantee, no minimum orders, and offers same day shipping. Most notably, Online Labels, Inc. recently launched Maestro Label Designer, an exclusive web-based software that gives customers the power to design, save and print their labels from a home or office computer with no downloads necessary. Looking toward the future, Carmany sees no slowing down. “Individuals, small business owners, entrepreneurs, large corporations alike are always seeking ways to cut costs and find that one-stop resource for their needs. When it comes to labels, that resource is us.” Launched 1998, Online Labels Inc. has sold over 5 billion labels rapidly becoming the largest supplier of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers on the Internet.

Orlando, Fla. – OnlineLabels.com, the Internet’s largest supplier of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers, offers solutions in determining the best label material and provides useful tips in applying labels for customizing beer, wine and water bottles. “For home brewers, winemakers or even people looking to give out personalized water bottles at weddings or events, the first step in customizing the bottle is to determine the perfect label material,” according to Dave Carmany of OnlineLabels.com. “Ultimately, the label material selected should depend on a few major factors; the type of printer used in creating the labels, the type of bottle it will be applied to, the design being printed on the label as well as how the bottle will be used.” The following list of label materials are among the most popular used for bottle labeling as noted by Carmany: Weatherproof Labels White Gloss Labels Metallic (Foil) Labels After the label material has been selected, designed and printed, the next most important step is to ensure the label is correctly applied to the bottle. The following steps are the easiest way of applying the label to the bottle: "With the right material and careful application, making labels for your bottles is quick and easy, while giving them a professional touch and custom look,” added Carmany. ”More and more of our customers are branding and customizing their bottles using these simple tips.” Launched 1998, Online Labels Inc. has sold over 5 billion labels rapidly becoming the largest supplier of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers on the Internet.

Orlando, Fla. – OnlineLabels.com, the largest supplier of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers on the Internet, has recently unveiled the patent pending LabelSafe Container, a clamshell packaging designed to protect the integrity of label sheets during shipping and handling. The transition to the new design is the first change to label packaging in the Company’s eight year history. The LabelSafe Container replaces a cellophane-like shrink wrap, often known for being flimsy, but still an industry standard casing for sheeted paper and label products. While many label suppliers are still using the shrink wrap because of its low cost, Onlinelabels.com has already seen the positive impact among the Company’s customers since the new higher-priced clamshell packaging was implemented. “This is a significant and expensive change for us, but it’s also another way that we are staying one step ahead of the competition in the label industry,” said Dave Carmany, president of OnlineLabels.com. “The LabelSafe design directly impacts the delivery, usage and appearance of our labels and adds another touch of customer service through enhancing the overall quality of our product.” Among the benefits of the new LabelSafe Container include: “After we made the transition to the LabelSafe Container, we noticed a sharp decrease in customer complaints about labels being damaged during the shipping process,” added Carmany. “We have a number of quality control processes in place before the labels leave our plant, but this was proactive measure we took to ensure quality after the product was out of our hands.” Launched 1998, Online Labels Inc. has sold over 5 billion labels rapidly becoming the largest supplier of blank labels for laser and inkjet printers on the Internet. A division of Consolidated Label, Inc., the Company is a privately-held label manufacturer and Internet retailer based in Longwood Fla.
