DIY Disc Label Alignment Tool

# DIY Disc Label Alignment Tool

A simple alignment tool designed for applying **full-face small-hole disc labels**
*(not compatible with large-hole CD-style labels).*

This is essentially a DIY recreation of the official Avery alignment tool for people who don’t want to spend ~$20 on the original.
