It's good you dumped the paper stick on labels!
You need to look into creating a wrap around label and use those DVD
cases like movies come in. You can really impress your clients :-)
Check out

I'm sure they have some blank stock with wedding logo thingys etc. on
that you could add your own text to.
Do you have MS Publisher and if so are you proficient in using it? You
can create some very nice things with it and it's fairly user
friendly. I use it for my DVD box labels plus I make up an ordering
flyer for every convention I tape and they look very professional.
Not as good as a full blown graphics program like Quark or some of the
others but much easier to learn too.
BTW, go to
http://www.primerastore.com/
They have a big ad right on their opening screen about the smear proof
discs you were asking about.
