Label Question

Philmin9 · Post by **Philmin9** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:38 am

Does anyone have a website that they use for label generation? Just curious, I have some new beers that will be ready about Halloween, and I would love to be able to put them in bottle with Halloween labels on them. It would give it a nice touch.

I have used http://www.myownlabels.com before and they're excellent, but just a little pricey.

I use http://www.beerlabelizer.com/, and print them on Avery 6490 (Floppy Disk Labels) using Microsoft Word.

I also use http://www.beerlabelizer.com. I print a sample sheet on my inkjet printer (six labels), then go to Office Depot and get color laser copies in whatever quantity I need. The laser copies don't run when they get wet. It's a bit of a pain to cut them out, but I'm getting fairly proficient at it, and this is my hobby, so taking the extra time is a labor of love.

If you're using glass bottles, you can affix them by brushing the backs of the labels with milk. Sounds crazy, but it really works great. If you're using PET bottles, you can use a glue stick. They come off the glass by just running them under hot water. I can't speak for the glue stick on PET, so be advised.

Glue stick labels come off by simply pulling them off, nothing remains. When you wash the bottle, take your hand and rub the label area with warm water flowing over it (hot water for glass bottles) and the remains of glue are gone in seconds. As the Hat says, "Easy Peasy!".

Thanks guys, I'm going to try the beer labelizer. Hopefully the beer will look good and taste good

Is anyone here a premium member at beerlabelizer.com?

I am - it was worth $5 to me

Yep, me too. I don't use it often since I like to make my own labels from scratch, but for the few times I've been uninspired or needed something fast it was well worth $5.00.

Is there an option to change the font on the labels as a premium member?

Kealia · Post by **Kealia** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 4:34 pm

No, that is not an option.

Ok, not a problem really. I just like to know what I'm buying before I buy it.

@The Hat - now I see why they say you are the man. Thanks for that tip on the color laser as I used to just print them on the ink jet. But they run.

I use the glue stick on PET method. Comes right off with water. Works great.
