Avery giving away royalty-free art

October 9th, 2008, 9:30 am by

If you’re constantly hunting for art for your Web site — and stealing it from random sites  – here’s a chance to get 20 pieces of stock art for free. The catch is you’ll have to buy certain products from Avery Dennison, the Brea-based paper products company that makes self-stick labels, business cards, binders and millions of other office products.

Avery teamed up with iStockphoto, the huge stock-art site that charges just between $1 to $20 for the right to use the image almost anywhere (mostly, you can’t resell the image).   

While you do get 20 pieces of stock art for free, you only get to choose those 20 pieces from a specially chosen list of 60. Unfortunately, to get access to iStock’s collection of 1.3 million images, you’ll have to join the club and pay for them. However, the Avery partnership does offer an initial 20 percent discount on the first purchase of 50 credits — just use the code “AVERYNEWS.” More details at www.avery.com/istocknews

    QUESTION: I greatly enjoyed and appreciated the article you wrote on creating mailing labels with Word 2003. I want to use this for a few customers I constantly write to. However, I cannot figure out how to pick up on a partially used sheet of labels. Is there a way to have the labels start printing in another spot besides top left corner?

    NOCCC: Yes, there is a way to have the labels start printing in another spot besides the top left corner using Microsoft Word 2003. Using this procedure, you can print one or more labels anywhere on a page of labels.
