I have used the free installer that came with a CD label Kit -- a round button that clips on the holder after you have put the disc being labeled on it, but the labels didn't always center. I decided to buy this one separately, and it really is better -- far easier to work with, and centers the labels perfectly every time (as long as you remember to put the label on first, upside down, and then press the disc face down on it). It's a small thing, but really is an improvement over the free ones. Avery CD/DVD Label Applicator ( 5699 )
This product amounts to little more than a low-tech press, but the results are fantastic. I use it to apply glossy, hub-printable labels to dual layer disks since they're not readily available in the inkjet hub printable format off the shelf. The pin in that hold the disk in place is well molded and the perfect size, leaving no lateral play. The labels ALWAYS come out perfectly straight, never off-center. I use a the blank plastic "CD" that comes in spindle packs of CDs and DVDs to press any bubbles out, works great.
I highly recommend this product even to those like myself who have CD/DVD printers. It comes in very handy for formats that aren't readily available with an inkjet printable surface. I apply the blank label first and then print the disk in my Canon ip4200 CD/DVD printer. The results are just as good as the prelableled inkjet printable disks, as long as you make sure to work out any bubbles first.
This product is simple yet functional and an excellent value for the price. :)
The applicator works okay, but it's essentially the same as a CD Stomper applicator I already had. The only difference is that the new one has a couple of slots at the edges to accommodate a change in the labels. For some reason, the smaller cylinder in the middle of the applicator is smaller than the small holes in full print labels, so the side slots help with alignment - except that the extra wings on labels rip off if you aren't careful removing the label from the sheet. It seems like all of that could have been solved with better engineering.
I am using this cd/dvd applicator with a Memorex cd label pack. Memorex offers a free download for exPressit which allows for quick and easy templates and design to put on the labels ([...]). The applicator is simple to use, I simply put a label that has already been printed with a design onto the applicator, put a cd/dvd upside down onto the applicator, and press down and you're done. Recommend this for anyone wanting something simple to create labels on their cd/dvds.

Label alignment is still tricky, even with this device. Labels will not lie flat in this device with the adhesive side facing up. You have to improvise to some extent.
Silly as it seems, this is the cheapest way to buy CD/DVD labels by Neato. The application device is just a bonus. And if you already have one, just throw it away. You still can't buy labels any cheaper than this.
This is a great design for installing disc labeling. I just bought this for my personal use as we have been using this same one at my place of business where we install up to 20 labels per day. Really works great and simple to use!!! - Cd Labels - Dvd Labels - Avery - Cd Label'
