Hi Alex,

I used to have a few templates that I worked from before esp when designing
a CD label. There are a few ways to do it, though the simplest I can think
of is to print these at a copy shop like kinko's or whatever print on demand
(digital printers) outlet you have in your area, you could speak to them
about printing your labels on a label paper designed specifically for the
purpose of printing CD labels. They'd supply you with the dimensions you
need or you could get them from

or even at

 these labels are in word format but you can open them up in Word or Libre
Office and saving as a pdf you can open in GIMP. If you're on linux you can
use GIMP coupled with gLabels http://glabels.sourceforge.net/  if on Windows
or Mac a web search should get you on your way. There are tons of them.

I'ma be quite honest, this is info that you'd be able to get on a simple web
search, that said, I hope this has helped you out tho :)
