[Ham-Computers] Re Printing CD Labels

Gentlemen,

I need to print a cover for the front side of a CD case, the back sheet that 
slides into place from inside the case and the round label that adheres to 
the CD itself. I know that I can purchase labels and do this myself.

The problem is in cutting these front and back insert sheets out once they 
are printed.

If I understand correctly, I can do both the front sheet and back sheet on 
the same label sheet. Correct? Now do these inserts peel off, are they torn 
off along periferations or do I need to cut them out?

I am told I can buy a kit that contains the round center labels for a CD, 
has software to print them and a device that enables one to put the sticky 
thing on the CD straight.

Because I am blind, cutting these things out is 'not' an option. I want them 
to fit!

I have used a commercial printer to do these in the past, but the cost is 
too high for small quanities, such as a hundred. About $.58 per insert, in 
color, printed on one side only.

Does anyone have a better way? I can get along without the round center 
label, but the other two are mandatory.

Thanks!
