How to Glue Printed Labels Onto CDs or DVDs

If you plan on burning your own music or data CD, you may wish to add a label to it to make it more personalized. CD labels can be purchased from the store, but they are a lot more expensive than normal paper. A cheap and easy alternative is to print the labels on plain paper and stick them to the CD yourself.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut out the label you have printed to the same size as your CD. Cut a hole in the center of the label that is the same size as the hole in CD. To get a hole in the center of the label, place it on top of the CD and use a pencil to poke through where the hole on the CD is. Use scissors to trim the rest of the way.

    • 2

      Use a glue stick to evenly coat the back of the CD label. Make sure you go all the way to the edges of the label and that there are no clumps.

    • 3

      Place the label with the glue facing up onto the CD spool.

    • 4

      Place the CD with the data side up onto the spool and press it firmly onto the label.

    • 5

      Take the CD off of the spool and smooth down as necessary. Allow to dry completely.
