I would like to see some examples of Vario (or other stock sheet) layouts that you are happy with the way they display your stamps. Thanks

This homemade (I know, hard to believe isn't it? ) Vario took hours of planning, research, and a certain artistic flair to pull this off.

Ta Da !

Robert, may I ask what you used for your information placards ? I like the frame, simple design, and color. On a serious note I love varios for used stamps since you can't have too many used Stamps and the shades and postmarks look good all lined up.

Yes you may. My template is simply a table I created with word processing software. The table has alternating wide and narrow columns and rows. The larger rectangles in the table have a narrow border and a light green background. I type the information in the rectangle and print out the sheet, then cut out the rectangle from the sheet. I use a mount cutter to straighten and square the edges. I've sized the rectangles to approximately U.S. definitive size. I have another template that is sized for G.B. Machins. If I need more room for information, I just widen the column or heighten the row. I'll gladly share the templates (they are in .odt format).

What an inspiring display from everyone! Stallzer, you make me believe that "I can do that!"
How do you all get the sheet to lay so nice and flat? I have Vario and mine seem to have a curl right down the middle. Is there a secret trick to flatten the sheets or do I just have some "factory seconds"? Also, the static cling on my sheets is a nightmare!
Any advice?

Well, since this thread has been revisited...
I still have those "not flat" Vario sheets and they still have static cling.
Does anyone have any suggestions (especially about the static).

Wipe them with a dryer static cling sheet.

Your welcome it should work.It works for most every plastic. I don't see where it would hurt any stamps.
