Whether you're handing over professional data, recorded music, downloaded movies or pictures of your most recent trip, make it look like an expert job by adding a printed label that you design yourself. There are a number of disc-labeling software packages on the market that produce high quality labels, including Photoshop [source: Burke], Disketch [source: NCH] and SureThing [source:Joseph]. Some of these programs require printing up labels, which you stick onto your CD/DVD, while others have the capability to print directly on the CD/DVD. Although we discuss using SureThing, the general method for preparing and printing CD/DVD labels is the same for most software packages. Read the steps listed below and learn about how to print a CD/DVD label.
