I'm looking to throw my design up and create some professional looking labels. How do most of these companies do it? I'm not a fan of the return address labels ect. I want something more authentic!
Thermal printer.
It is what TVC uses.
I use a dymo thermal printer for mine. $65
Ah, any programs i should know about?
Ability to print color at all?
You could use something like the Zebra IQ Color Labels. I couldn't find a place selling them though so not sure on price.
Personally i use 1x2 in address labels but i made a design that was pleasing to the eye IMO.
Professional label makers can get pretty expensive and unless you are making giant batches the cost is a little overwhelming for a start up. Personally a good design and clear printing can go a long way.
Those are much fancier than my masking tape and ballpoint pen labels ;)
Those labels look pretty dam good. How would i go about making labels like that?
i got the label template from the place i get my labels from (Online Labels) i desgined it in adobe illustrator off of my main logo
Labelsbythesheet.com has white vinyl peel and stick ink jet printer labels for .99 a sheet. Colors wont run or smear and they are very durable. I use them for all my juice
Just get simply Avery 5160 address labels and make a template for Microsoft Word. It'll only cost you the price of the labels if you already have Microsoft Word and a printer with ink and it makes 30-60 at a time. (depends on what size label you get).
Here is a template that I use that I made in Photoshop: http://i.imgur.com/iKD4xwi.png

Do not consume? what is it bath salt
Nicotine is no joke, and is a poison. It's bad enough that people inhale it, let alone try to drink it. I put that there to protect me.
My mother mixes and makes Mineral Makeup. She uses a program called SureThing CD/DVD Labeler. Most label manufacturers have templates for the labels they sell for the program. You can also make your own if you can't find a template. It works pretty well and is pretty simple. I plan to use it when the rest of my DIY supplies arrive. Just waiting on the PG and VG from Essential Depot.
Anyone have any insight on using Kinkos? I don't have access to a thermal printer and the labels I got from avery are just alright, I'm looking for that nice glossy touch higher end vendors have.
If you want something that is professional quality, head over to fiverr.com, hire a designer on the cheap, and have them make you a design you can have printed at a local printer in bulk for yourself. Not that expensive, in fact, usually less than new ink carts for your own printer.
Oh! labels get me excited! I work for a label company, and I know we have done some e-liquid labels. But unless you are going to be needing hundreds of them, then it probably wouldn't be worth it, since they can be very expensive.
