Avery Design & Print vs MasoLabel

Avery Design & Print is a free web tool for designing labels and other printable Avery products. Start from a blank template or customize a prepared design, then add text and uploaded images. Image tools crop, size, and position uploads; text tools offer straight or curved lines and typography choices. For variable data printing, mail merge can import contact information and other data from .xls, .xlsx, and .csv files. Its barcode generator makes barcodes and QR codes and supports sequential numbering. Projects can be saved to a computer without an account, or to a free Avery account with one, and shared by email through project links. Google Drive can supply Google Sheets data for merging or Google Photos for a design. Print with an inkjet or laser printer, or use Avery WePrint to have a project professionally printed and mailed. Avery says its online design tools protect data in transit and storage with TLS and SSL and do not sell images or content.
