Hi Eugene Walter and all

I sell all my honey(1500-2000 lbs) from an honour table at the end of  
my drive.  I normally sell in 500 gm, 1kg and cut comb packages but  
occasionally use other sizes if they become available on sale.  I use  
the address label section of MS Word and include honey type(summer  
blossom, autumn blossom etc), size, year and contact information  
including E-mail.  Too many variables for preprinted labels  
considering the size of my operation.  Ink jet printers use inks  
which run if they get wet( sudden summer storms do happen here). I  
bought a HP laser printer(less than $100 in Canada) with Avery type  
labels and haven't replaced the original cartridge in 4 years.  I  
agree with Eugene  that simple labels are best.  The extra details  
about the honey that I include(summer, autumn etc) helps to sell more  
honey as people can't believe that there can be more than one taste  
to honey.
