Labels, Printing etc

[Melvynnn]

Not sure if there was a thread on this already, and was unsure or where to put it.

Where do you get your labels printed? Ive already designed a number of labels, but have no idea how to get them printed off, and then stick them to my bottles.
Also, post your labels here! :grin:

These are some mock ups i made a while ago (And yes, i know the percentage is a bit mad, its not intended to be serious)

Cimla Artois (I live in an Area called Cimla, full of 'Chavs' and 'Louts' with a can of Stella Artois in one hand, cigarette in the otherwhile walking down the road to school) and thought, Why not, eh? so hence, Cimla Artois ;D

Trollbroth (Bit of a gimmick, intended to be used for a dark ale for me and my basement dwelling college buddies, to be drank during Dungeons and Dragons Sessions and online gaming.)

More to come hopefully

Those labels are the Mutts Nuts !!!

I just print them off on a normal printer and stick em on with Pritt Stick!

I do my labels at Beer Label Builder, download it to the PC and play around with it in Photoshop, then run them off on the Works Colour laser printer. I may print them off on self adhesive label stock, but often its just plain paper . . Pritt stick to hold them on to the bottle.

I just liberated :whistle: a load of A4 sheets with 16 sticky labels on each from work. They're quite a bit smaller than the ideal - but it'll do for my first couple of kits.

Awesome labels you've designed there btw :clap: My surname is Cunningham, and some of my mates and colleagues call me Cunny. All of my brews will be labelled with 'The taste of Cunny'

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!


Wez reaches for Yellow Card :lol: :lol:

 

[Melvynnn]

So does normal paper and pritt stick really work? lol

 

[Wez]

yep - like a dream - use milk too :thumb:

 

[llannige]

I stick mine on with milk,easy to remove too. :thumb:

 

[Melvynnn]

Wait....Milk?
What? haha

 

[jamesb]

Seriously, it's great for sticking labels on.

 

[commsbiff]

Do you brush it on? Does it start to smell after a while?

 

[jamesb]

Yes, and no.

 

[Melvynnn]

Mocked up another label for a dark ale ive just started to brew

 

[commsbiff]

Sorry for the many milk questions... Do they still stick firmly if the bottles are stored - say in a garage or shed - where they may be subject to a certain amount of damp air and a little condensation???

Oh... and another ace label Melvynnn - what are you, a graphic designer or summink?

 

[Melvynnn]

Nah, only fiddle with photoshop in the time i have between college, drinking, gigging and gaming, i'll have a bash at requests tho, never thought about it before, dont expect them to be full on quality though haha

 

[Smod]

Wow!! Those labels are AWESOME!!! :thumb:

 

[Vossy1]

[tubby_shaw]
