Your CD burner probably came with the software to PRINT on CD labels. Many label KITS also comes with this software.
But here is a tip. In time, labels PEEL or otherwise degrade the CD. For very long term storeage and archive, don't use them. Instead, WRITE on the CD with a Sharpie Permanent Marker. Also, when you burn an Archive for long term storage, use a CD-R and pick the option to CLOSE the session or Finalize the Disk. This will help to create an archive that will last for an estimated 50 years.
Good luck

Fellowes Cd Label Template

If you decide not to use labels, don't use a permanent marker, as they also damage the data; use a proper cd pen. Asda do a pack of 2 for a pound.
If you want to use labels you have a choice; either buy the software like Neato's, which is easy until one day you can't get Neato labels; or make your own template.
If you know how to make your own template you can buy any make of labels. You need Paint.net, a graphics program that supports layers. You scan a sheet of labels and save it as your template.
Then you open the template in Paint, Save As your current project, and edit it. It's well worth taking the time and trouble to learn to use this program. Its free, and uses layers like Photo shop.
Another good program is Nero which has a cd design tool in it, and lets you do stuff like write text in a circle around the edge of the label.

You could always try a lightscribe drive, it needs special disks, but they aren't expensive. Burn the data then flip over and burn the label/ Other than that just buy CD labels and they will come with a template for use in Word.

there are lots of different cd-labeling kits on the market. They include a cd-labeling software, cd labels and a cd label applicator.

The one I have is 'Fellowes NEATO'. You will also need to install the software which is in the 'Fellowes NEATO' CD /DVD Labelling Starter Kit. Dixon's had them last time I looked. Hope this helps! There are also websites that have CD/DVD cover pictures, so you can copy them onto 'My Pictures' on your computer, then onto the labels.

I love the HP tattoos. They are better than regular labels because the tattoos are glossy and will work with any printer. Plus they are smudge proof and water proof and stain proof. I have included a link that talks more about them.

Don't do it.
It will cause damage to your ROM drive, and they often make the cd unreadable.
If you take the lable back off you also risk damaging the CD disc

for CD-Rs i reccomend not using sticker lables, as over time the chemicals in the glue seep through into the data and can shorten the lifespan of your CD, instead get a permanent marker and lable it that way.
