Step 1.
There are always new ways to use free
printables! Take these CD/DVD case labels, for example, available from
Print Me Free Military Free
Printables.
These are the perfect size to use as
"labels" for resealable plastic bags---just perfect for make snack bags
of junk food! Once printed, you can trim the "label" and put it inside a
sandwich-size resealable bag.
Your family member, friend, or
"pen-pal" in the military is sure to enjoy having JFRE's to add to his
or her daily rations...especially if the bag is full of favorite junk
food, candy, granola bars, rolls of lifesavers, packs of gum, or any
other "goodie" that you can fit in a sandwich bag.

Step 2.
Of course, you can make your own "snack
bag labels" by downloading the printable from Print Me Free, and
personalizing in Adobe Reader (more about that a little later).
Or, you can download the JFRE ready-made
label printable!
First, you will need to print blank
labels. Print as many pages as you like. Get the label from Print Me
Free
at:
Set these aside.

Step 3.
Now, download the text for the labels,
as illustrated to the left:
It is OK that only the text appears.
See Step 4 for printing the text on the labels. |

Step 4.
To make the printed labels, as
illustrated to the left:
- Put the "Support Our Troops" printed
pages back into your computer*
- Open the JFRE Labels Text Only
file
- Print the text on the blank
labels
*You may need to consult the manual
for your printer in order to put the "Support Our Troops" printed pages into
the printer so that the text will print properly (as shown to the left).
Now, trim the labels.
Put junk food or snack items such as
hard candies that are individually wrapped, breakfast
bars, granola bars, individually wrapped rolls of Lifesavers, packs of
gum, or any other candy or snack item that will do well without needing
refrigeration (and if your military person is deployed in the Middle
East, include only candies/snacks that will do well in extreme heat).

Our men and women always appreciate homemade cookies!
Wrap the cookies in
plastic wrap before putting into the snack back so that the cookies
don't "bleed" onto the printed labels! |
Step 5.
Box up plenty of
JFRE bags and ship to your troop member!
