尽管很多人一直在吹捧 CD 和DVD(DVDs)的终结,但我仍然认为他们会在这里停留一段时间。当然,现在我们大多数人都通过云服务分享在手机上拍摄的个人视频,但电影和较长的家庭视频(form home videos)仍然更容易在 CD、DVD 或蓝光光盘上(DVD or Blu-ray discs)分享和观看(share and watch)。
刻录蓝光光盘(Blu-ray discs)仍然不是那么普遍,可能永远不会,但是很多人仍然刻录自己的 CD 和DVD(DVDs)。如果您刻录自己的光盘,那么您总是必须创建一个漂亮的自定义标签(custom label)来配合它。使用永久性标记来标记新刻录的 CD 看起来很俗气!
在本文中,我将向您展示在哪里可以找到大量用于在Word中创建自己的 CD、 (Word)DVD 或蓝光标签(DVD or Blu-ray label)封面的模板。好消息是 CD、DVD 和蓝光光盘(DVDs and Blu-ray discs)的直径都相同,因此一个标签可以适合所有这些。此外,还有很多用于CD 和 DVD 盒(CD and DVD cases)的模板,包括标准CD 盒(CD jewel)小册子和DVD 盒(DVD case)插页。
文字模板
每当您进入像Staples 或 OfficeMax(Staples or OfficeMax)这样的商店时,您总会找到Avery的标签。它们已经存在了很长时间,它们几乎可以创建您在从Word打印时使用的大部分标签。这同样适用于打印CD 和 DVD 标签(CD and DVD labels)。Avery有许多不同的标签,您可以购买、打印、剥离和粘贴到您的光盘上。
在此处查看他们的CD 和 DVD 模板(CD & DVD templates),您会发现 50 多种不同的模板可供下载。除了Word,他们还有Photoshop、Adobe Illustrator 和 Adobe InDesign(Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign)格式的模板。
单击(Click)您想要的,您将能够下载它。确保选择仅模板(Template only)选项,否则它会下载一个尝试在您的系统上安装垃圾软件的安装程序。如果您只下载模板,它应该是DOC 格式(DOC format)。打开文件,您会看到模板已准备好在Word中使用。
出现的唯一问题是您可能会从Word收到一条消息,说明文档已在受保护的视图(Protected View)中打开。由于该文件是从Internet下载的,因此Word不信任它,您必须手动单击“启用编辑”按钮来编辑该文件。(Enable Editing)我自己用防病毒程序扫描了几个文件,它们是干净的,所以这只是一个警告,以防你从恶意网站下载文件。Avery希望不会很快在他们的Word 文档中加载病毒。(Word docs)
现在您可以编辑文件,您可以开始输入文本、添加图像和自定义标签。下面我下载了一个空白模板,然后在底部为我的音乐曲目添加了一些艺术字和文本。(WordArt and text)
我建议下载一个已经包含一些文本的标签,因为编辑该标签比尝试自己编辑要容易得多。我花了大约 15 分钟的时间让所有文本在上面的屏幕截图中正确对齐。使用来自 Avery 的此模板(template from Avery),您只需单击该框并自己编辑文本。
当然, Avery(Avery)并不是唯一拥有CD 和 DVD 标签模板(CD and DVD label templates)的网站。另一个不错的站点是Neato,您可以在其中找到大量CD 和 DVD 标签模板(CD & DVD label template)以及CD 和 DVD 插入和封套模板(CD & DVD Inserts and Sleeves templates)。另一家名为Stomper的公司有大约十几个免费模板可供您下载。
当然,您要么必须购买实际标签才能从这些站点打印模板,要么如果您愿意,您可以将它们打印在自己的纸上。我首先提到了Avery,因为它在当地的办公用品商店最容易找到。Microsoft过去在其Office 模板(Office Templates)网站上有一堆CD/DVD模板,但现在由于某些未知原因已将其删除。
幸运的是,您仍然可以找到其中一些Microsoft模板,但您必须在Word本身中执行搜索。为此,请单击文件(File),然后单击新建(New)。
在搜索在线模板(Search for online templates)框中,继续输入单词CD。您应该得到几个结果,包括CD/DVD标签和插件/封套。
希望这能让您开始您的CD/DVD project。如果您遇到任何问题,请随时发表评论,我会尽力提供帮助。享受!
Create Your Own CD and DVD Labels using Free MS Word Templates
Even thоugh many people keep touting the end of CDs and DVDs, I still think theу are here to stay for a while. Sure, most of us share рersonal videos shot on our phones via cloυd services nowadaуs, but movies and longer form homе videos still are easier to share and watch on CD, DVD оr Blu-ray discs.
Burning Blu-ray discs still isn’t all that common and may never be, but a lot of people still burn their own CDs and DVDs. If you burn your own discs, then you always have to create a nice-looking custom label to go along with it. It just looks tacky to use a permanent marker to label your newly burned CD!
In this article, I’ll show you where you can find lots of templates for creating your own CD, DVD or Blu-ray label covers in Word. The nice thing is that CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are all the same diameter and therefore one label can fit them all. In addition, there are a lot of templates for CD and DVD cases including the standard CD jewel case booklets and DVD case inserts.
Word Templates
Whenever you go into a store like Staples or OfficeMax, you’ll always find labels by Avery. They have been around for a long time and they pretty much create most of the labels you use when printing from Word. The same applies for printing CD and DVD labels. Avery has a bunch of different labels you can buy, print, peel and stick right onto your disc.
Check out their CD & DVD templates here and you’ll find over 50 different templates you can download. In addition to Word, they also have templates in Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign formats too.
Click on the one you want and you’ll be able to download it. Make sure to select the Template only option otherwise it downloads an installer that tries to install crapware on your system. If you download only the template, it should be in DOC format. Open the file and you’ll see the template is ready to use in Word.
The only issue that comes up is that you might get a message from Word saying the document has been opened in Protected View. Since the file has been downloaded from the Internet, Word doesn’t trust it and you have to click the Enable Editing button manually to edit the file. I scanned a couple of the files myself with an anti-virus program and they were clean, so it’s just a warning in case you downloaded a file from a malicious website. Avery hopefully won’t be loading their Word docs with viruses anytime soon.
Now that you can edit the file, you can start typing in your text, adding images, and customizing your label. Below I have downloaded a blank template and then added some WordArt and text at the bottom for my music tracks.
I recommend downloading a label that already has some text included because it’s much easier to edit that label than trying to do it yourself. It took me about 15 minutes to get all the text aligned properly in the screenshot above. Using this template from Avery, you can just click in the box and edit the text yourself.
Avery, of course, is not the only site that has CD and DVD label templates. Another good site is Neato, where you can find a bunch of CD & DVD label templates and CD & DVD Inserts and Sleeves templates. Another company called Stomper has about a dozen or so free templates you can download.
Of course, you’ll either have to buy the actual labels to print the templates onto from those sites or you can print them on your own paper if you like. I mentioned Avery first because it’s the easiest to find at a local office supplies store. Microsoft used to have a bunch of CD/DVD templates on their Office Templates website, but now they have been removed for some unknown reason.
Luckily, you can still find some of these Microsoft templates, but you have to perform the search from within Word itself. To do this, click on File and then click on New.
In the Search for online templates box, go ahead and type in the word CD. You should get back several results including CD/DVD labels and inserts/sleeves.
Hopefully, this will get you going for your CD/DVD project. If you run into any trouble, feel free to post a comment and I’ll try to help. Enjoy!
