Where have you all been getting your labels printed from? I found a couple sites (onlinelabels.com and lighteninglabels.com). Has anyone used these sites or can you recommend a better site?

Where to buy labels?

I used lightning and am very pleased with the labels I received.
if they have an email list to sign up for before you buy you should sign up. They send out 10% and 15% off sales pretty regularly.

I use uprinting as well. You save a ton of money if you buy in bulk, so plan on ordering 1k+ labels otherwise it's not worth it. ALWAYS do a PDF preview when you submit your labels to them. Our labels have a 20% opacity that they just continue to mess up every time.
Just make sure Food Safety/FDA has approved your labels before ordering and check 20 times for typos

Free Avery Labels Templates
-do your design using the free templates, on your computer, then load the design onto a thumb drive-
use the local print shop/bigbox printing store for quality laser short-run jobs.
If you do get to the point of needing 1K+, then look at online sources. Until then, just use local printing.
I have a good relationship with the local small business print shop. I buy packets of labels at their store, then go back and have them print up pages of labels as needed. They will print 1 page or 20, whatever I need.
PS- if you have a good color printer, there are many sources of labels, and again, Avery Templates is a great resource. Using a Spray ClearSeal is another trick for short runs to give the labels more waterproofing, but is not economical for lots pages.
have fun~
