glabels: Ready For Prime Time

Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is running a review of glabels. It's still in beta status, but it's ready for prime time now. It knows hundreds of predefined label formats and allows you to design your own templates for custom work. Barcodes, images, just about anything but MP3 tracks can be printed on them. glabels is destined to become one of the most popular native apps for Linux." If you need harder-core barcode support, the excellent kbarcode would probably make a good complement. (NewsForge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.)

3D labels??? Utter craziness! I think you mean 2D, as while they technically ARE 3D, the 3rd dimension is only about 1/3 of one millimeter and not measured by the reader (ie, the paper thickness).
