Anybody making custom labels?

[jof]

Here is one of my recent ones.
It's just a best bitter, but did it for 'fire engine' day at the museum I volunteer at.

The 2 blokes on the fire engine are the operations manager & the museum director, I'll leave it up to you to guess their trumpton names.

Try Avery labels

https://app.print.avery.com
You buy the labels (not expensive), use the templates and use an ordinary printer

Some examples I have done

None of those links works for me

I bought 100mm x 80mm labels from these people, they do low tack ones which are easy to peel off again, cost me £18 for 100 sheets (600 labels). Comes with a years access to their online label designer software too.

I love that museum! Last time I was there, there was a chap with some wild hops talking a bit about beer, was very interesting! That was a few months ago before I started brewing.

FWIW I use beerlabelizer.com they are pretty basic but that suits me as I can do it on my phone as I don’t have a PC

I like Beer Labeliser. A nice selection of label templates that can be printed off.

I also use canva.com. So easy to use and it's mostly free. I print them out at work and when I get home I spray them with some acrylic spray. Makes the shiny and really nice looking.

I use Avery on line template as well, easy to use and print with their label sheet.
However, I now just print cap labels, much less time consuming when cleaning bottles for re-use.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Oooh, clever! I'd not thought of cap labels. Smart!

Wow, just tried the beer labeliser and milk solution. Previously just used plan paper looped over the top.
… big improvement

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.

This is the link that I use:

They have an online template tool on this page under the pic of the labels.

How do you print cap labels? are they stickers or do you order them custom printed?

I've looked at the Avery service but seems quite expensive. I just bought a sheet of custom sized labels off eBay and print on my basic colour inkjet printer.

 

[Loonytoone]

I bought 100 sheets of 25mm paper labels from Avery for £20 incl.
I use their online template to layout my own artwork and text.
I then print on my own printer.
It works out at 20p a sheet for 48 cap labels per sheet.
I am happy with the price for reasonably good looking labels.

 

[hoppyscotty]

Nice. To get labels printed via Avery you're looking at around £80 so this seems alot more sensible.

 

[MattHudds]

Has anyone used the online sticker/label shops like:

https://www.stickershop.co.uk/produ...ted-vinyl-labels-stickers?variant=17676319301
More expensive, but I was thinking if making some with a logo for my 'brewery' rather than individual labels for each beer. Therefore I'd want them to last many brews, and therefore be at least a bit durable/waterproof.

 

[jof]

No, sorry, part of the fun for me is that each brew is slightly different & requires a different name and label.
Hence I knock them up on paint, print 9 to a piece of plain A4 on my old colour laser printer.
Then I get the fun of cutti g out & sticki g on with PVA (so they come off again)

 

[Agentgonzo]

I've heard that you can paint the back of a plain paper label with milk and it'll stick pretty well the the bottle when it dries, but then comes off easily. I've never tried it though
