Anybody making custom labels?

[Boff.]

Anybody dabbled in label printers or applicators? If so I'm interested to know what you're using

Try Avery labels

https://app.print.avery.com

You buy the labels (not expensive), use the templates and use an ordinary printer

Try www.beerlabelizer.com

Zazzle is great, and free

I use beerlabeliser and it's fine. Premium version a few more options for a small one off payment. Their advice stick the labels on with milk is brilliant.
I use it for honey and jam labels as well.

I've designed several cool labels but haven't made the beer to put in 'em yet...

 

[RoomWithABrew]

My top tip for a beginner is put the beer in a bottle, label on the bottle!

Thought you said Razzle...

Thanks guys I'll check them out. Ultimately I'd love to be able to print and label up my own cans, doesn't seem like there is much on the market that will be compatible with each other

Done in canva (a free app on my phone). Then just sized and printed out on an ink jet printer

I find that a spray with Hairspray on the Laserjet printed label gives it a bit more lustre and durability.

Semigloss 8 labels per sheet : works well for both 330ml and 500 ml bottles and the colour reproduction on the paper works well
I've also used Herma repositionable labels that soak off really quickly - 6 to an A4 sheet, a bit larger so not quite as easy to apply to 330ml size bottles. The beer labeliser site is good and you can download the graphic file to tweak in a simple graphics app.

[SmallSpacesBrewing]

I use canva. It's really easy to use and they come out great. Also there's pre-done labels you can use as a base which is kinda cool. Made one today

I used Canva to design mine and had them printed at one of my customers who print them for a lot of the big breweries.

I do my labels old school in MS Paint.
Then insert them into a word table at 9 to an A4 page
Print on my ancient colour laser printer
Cut them out with scissors
Glue them on with pva

I do mine in MS word and print on to paper using my laser printer. That said, mine are very basic - just text and a qr code. The reason I bought a laser printer rather than inkjet was in part for making lables for my bottles.

I do like a nice label, and they are usually well received as more 'professional' when you hand some bottles out to friends.
I started out in good ol MS paint, then finally learned how to use photoshop a bit, which makes changing things very easy (different labels for different sized bottles - # of standard drinks etc).
I print out and use wife's scrapbook sliding cutter to cut them. Then brush on milk to attach, and they just slide off in hot water afterwards. I'll attach some examples when I've compiled them...

 

[Agentgonzo]

I use canva.com. there are a few templates for beer labels that you can modify.

I got pointed at these labels by a friend (various sizes exist). The "reusable" labels mean then peel off the bottles cleanly without leaving all the glue and sticky residue on the bottle.

 

[Agentgonzo]

I tend to just put a letter on the cap for my own purposes, but label a few for my wife who doesn't understand my ever -changing system and for those I give away to friends so the know what is in the bottles, rather than relying on my garbled instructions.

It does make them look a lot more like the business though.
