Hey guys , what the best and safest website / program to generate a bitcoin wallet that I can print off to put on DIY coins. I know airgapped laptop and printer are necessary. Currently all I know is bitcoinaddress.org and i've heard that is not the safest.

Any advice from those with experience with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

First off, don't use a website to generate keys.  Ever.  That's ridiculous.

I would be curious what you will be using the address for.  You mention DIY coins, but do you need 1 or 2 addresses or hundreds of addresses?  Do they need to be vanity addresses or will any old address work? 

The easiest way is probably to use something like Electrum or Bitcoin Core on an offline computer.  Slightly more difficult would be to use a vanity generator program, but that would give you more addresses quickly and you could also specify the beginning of your addresses.  Anything else would probably take a little bit of knowledge.
