10 Creative Ways to Use Free Custom Printables

justheather Just Heather |

One of my favorite online freebies are custom printable products. Tote bags, photo books, labels, business cards — they’re all available from VistaPrint for FREE on any given day.

You can also find amazing deals on albums through photo printing sites and daily deal offers. There are so many offers, I just can’t use them fast enough.

After all, one can only use so many tote bags. And, I don’t think I’ll ever get through all the return address labels the Humane Society sends me. But with a little creativity, free print products can become fabulous keepsakes, amazing gifts or simple tools for your everyday life.

Check out these 10 fun ways to use free custom products:

    Use the free address labels to create labels your kids can use for their belongings. Keep track of sports equipment, school supplies, and more with free printables.

  • Deposit Stamp

    Deposit Stamp

    The free stamp offer was created with the return address in mind, but I have far more use for a deposit stamper, making banking fast, easy, and frugal.

  • Gift Labels

    Gift Labels

    My other favorite use for the return address labels is as a gift tag. Simply add To/From in place of address information to create a custom label to use for Christmas or keep the sticker more generic for year round giving.
