I've got some friends hooked on some of my mixes and i want to make the bottles look semi-professional instead of looking like a science experiment! lol Does anyone know if there's a program out there for making labels. Id like to put graphics on there and the information about the liquids..
Avery labels can be bought anywhere and they have an online tool you can use to print out the labels.
Probably the cheapest way to do it assuming you're not going to be turning out hundreds of these things.
Only problem I have with avery labels for eliquids is their chemical resistance. No one likes a paper or plastic label that degrades when in contact with any sort of liquid :(
If you also need labels, http://onlinelabels.com has a browser-based design software (Maestro) that you can use when you order labels from them. I can also attest that their labels are awesome, they even have waterproof labels, and you can get them in just about any size you could ever want. I've been using their products for years, I've never found anything better or more economical.
As far as programs, I mainly use Adobe Illustrator but occasionally Adobe Indesign or Photoshop when designing labels. But you can certainly use MS Word, and I'm sure you could use Gimp. Maybe someone else will chime in with a good free/low cost option to Illustrator.
Otherwise, ask around here, I'm sure there are a few of us (including myself, but I couldn't get to them for a week or so thanks to a surgery I just had, but if you're okay with waiting a week, PM me) that would be happy to help you with design and laying out the template for you.
Design tip: Make sure that your text/design is within the safe area (basically, a bit from the edge, for juice labels I'd go 0.125") on the label to account for printer shift. If your label design has a bleed (background color or graphics that go to the edge--really, it goes beyond--of the cut lines with no white margin), make sure your background goes at least 0.125" outside the cut area.
And within their online program thing they have you can add a little bleed to it, it helps a lot.
for starters the office supply store has a ton of options. some templates you need to download sometimes the sheets come with a disk. word has templates built in for the standard mailing labels size which works fine for me.
