How do you print flip inserts on a printer?

Is there a printable label that will fit in a 2x2 flip pocket that can be made on an injet printer from the computer?
Hand writing them get old quick.

    figure out cell sizes you need in microsoft excel, and save it as a template, and then create, print, cut. someone probably has a template set up already.

    That's what I do. Set your cells to be about 1.7" X 1.7" and they'll fit nicely. I use a table in a Microsoft WORD document. Finally, I have my wife cut them out because apparently I turn into a 3 year old when I try to use sissors image
  • I will try that. I can use word, but me and excel don't get along. I am fairly good with sissors, considering I have a paper shear!
    Thanks

    Oh yeah, stop by Kinkos and buy a few sheets of heavy card stock (no reason to buy a whole ream!)

    I use business card blanks and print two inserts per card than cut the cards in half after printing!

    Avery 28876 templates 2"x3 1/2" business cards 10 per sheet gives you 20 inserts per sheet.

    Buy the perforated 8 x 11 sheets and print them like address labels

    If you're Word/Excel savy, you can create a custom "label" and populate it via mail merge.

    As far as printing stock goes, you can use regular business card stock and chop them in half, use whole sheet stock and cut out individual cards, or I actually found two places that has the stock pre-cut into "flip insert" size

    I use Microsoft Publisher and make the squares a certain size (1.75"X1.75" in my case) = I get 15 to a sheet. I do this twice (front with all the info and price, back with company name). Getting them to align properly is the hard part, so I allow a very tiny margin of error but still looks professional. I get asked how did I do this and I also get compliments.
