HomePrint Labels

The HomePrint Labels is general purpose labeling program that provides you with a complete label, barcode and mailing list capability. It can create virtually any kind of label.

Pros: First thing to do with the program is to create a database or a set of addresses of contacts with whom your business may need to correspond and hence need to generate a label. Beauty of this system is that, once the contact detail of someone are entered once, it’s available for all time into future. Powerful database feature allows creating and saving databases that make it easy to enter names from you keyboard or import them from another program. You can easily split, merge import and export mailing databases. A database can hold up to 32.000 records. Features that make using the database effective are the abilities to filter, group, sort, and search for records in a fraction of second. That helps finding the mailing details based on any kind of criteria. Supported by a powerful mail merge feature one has a very efficient mailing system, one just have to print the labels in the right type of stationary. The printed labels can have barcode on them. The product has the Post Net barcode. There are ten other most often used barcode types that can be generated as required. Label designer is able to handle most of the Avery labels types and card formats.

Cons: The snail mail is no longer a big deal but the mail-merge and address label printing is reasonably useful even now. Since contact management is usually a part of mail programs, creating database for the sake of label printing alone seems like an overhead.

Overall an easy to use application with useful features. Admittedly for a limited role but is useful for those who have a use for these. With those constraints its still a 3 star package.
