- <p>
- The <app>gLabels</app> application is a lightweight program for creating labels and
- business cards for the GNOME desktop environment. It is designed to work with
- various laser/ink-jet peel-off label and business card sheets that you'll find
- at most office supply stores.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <app>gLabels</app> can be used to design address labels, name tags, price tags,
- cd/dvd labels, or just about anything else that is organized in a regular
- pattern on a sheet of paper. Labels (or cards) can contain text, images, lines,
- shapes, and barcodes. <app>gLabels</app> also includes a document-merge
- feature which lets you print a unique label for each record from an external
- data source, such as a CSV file or an <app>Evolution</app> address book.
