How to Make DVD Labels on Mac
- 1). Use a graphics program to design DVD labels on your Mac. If you already have a program such as Adobe Photoshop, then download a blank DVD label template and start designing. Export your design as a JPEG file when it's finished to easily print it with the Preview application.
- 2). Download and try the shareware versions of several different DVD-labeling programs, such as Disc Cover for Mac. This application comes with 130 DVD label templates and the demo version lets you print your with with a watermark.
CD/DVD Label Maker for Mac combines illustration software features, such as working with different image layers, with DVD labeling tools, such as bar code printing.
CD Covertool X is a free program for label printing, but has fewer design and editing features. - 3). Evaluate the software demos by comparing features, price and support to see which ones are best suited for your needs. In addition to designing DVD labels, some programs will let you create art for the inserts of your jewel cases.
- 4). Buy blank DVD labels for your printer. Check your printer to see if it is an inkjet or laser printer and get the appropriate kind of label paper. The ideal paper will have a matte finish on one side and an adhesive on the other.
- 5). Print your designs on standard letter-sized paper before you use the DVD label paper. Cut out your design and lay it over a DVD to be sure that you are happy with its appearance. Remember that image quality will be higher on the label paper.
