Labeley: Free Online Custom Label Creator

Stan Avery, the inventor of self-sticking labels, did many of us a huge favor. Though people don’t commonly think about them, these little pieces of paper (or some other label stock) are much appreciated in many situations. For example, sending kids off to camp is unthinkable without labeling their belongings, because otherwise many of those belongings will not return home. How about shopping for groceries in bulk and storing them in the freezer? If you don’t label your freezer bags with food, it becomes difficult keeping track of what’s what and how long those groceries have been in the freezer. Or, can you imagine home-brewed beer without appropriate custom labels on beer bottles?

Labeling items is an organizational must, and luckily for organized people, there’s an online tool that creates all kinds of stickers for free. Labeley is great because its sleek design features allow users to be creative and come up with exactly the label they need:
