I use Microsoft word to make mineral and fossil labels. You have a huge
selection of fonts, colors and font sizes. With some knowledge of the
program, you can customize label size, for example making labels for perky
boxes. You can also print on standard Avery labels, for labels to stick on
gem box edges or coin holders. You can also add images and print on various
paper weights, from ordinary paper to card stock. 
And you can save the label file in case you get more of the same stuff.

thoughts on the best paper stock, printer, printer ink, etc?  I am also
wondering if it is advantageous to print stick on labels and then stick them
onto cardboard stock.
