Any interest in an AMA from someone in the labeling industry?
submitted over 10 years ago by kirktBring on the Diacetyl, baby

##Edit 2: AMA is ON for Wednesday Jan 21 @ 5PM EST / 4pm CST / 3PM MST / 2PM PST. I will post a reminder next Tuesday, then will open a new, stickied post a few hours beforehand so you can ask your questions and upvote other questions that are important to you.##

Edit 3: We are doing this, please do not respond to this thread...###

**Edit - 10 yesses in an hour; we will do it. Keep a watch for time & date, or subscribe to this post and I will update it as well.

We mods were approached by someone who claims extensive knowledge about labelling: > I can answer almost any questions related to label substrates, adhesives, printers, applicators, and face sheets.

If you have any interest in this and are willing to participate, reply or upvote and if we get a good response we'll invite the guy on.

Disclaimer: I don't know this person, and he approached us, so I make no promises.

I mostly frequent /r/cigars as that's where I am one of the mods, but I lurk around many other subs. I work for a Label & Tag Manufacturer and I deal with a lot of e-juice manufacturers on a daily basis. I thought I would offer the opportunity to many of you DIYers to ask me anything related to labeling your own products. I don't care if you're making 1 bottle a month, or 5000 bottles a day. I know a lot of tricks and helpful tips and could help with any of your labeling needs.

For reference, below is just a small list of e-juice companies I have worked with.... this week.

  • Juice by Numbers
  • Zombie Juice
  • Ruthless Vapor
  • JOJO Vapes
  • Heartlandvapes
  • Cig Vape Inc
  • MadVapes
  • Bad Wolf Vape
  • Chi-Town Vapes

If for some reason I miss the AMA would it be okay for me to message you with some questions?

My humidors are filled with cigars with /u/tobbacowhacko's labels, love them. Great product and great guy!

Vouching for /u/tobaccowhacko, I own some of his custom made cigar bands and he has extensive knowledge with all things related to label substrates, adhesives, printers, applicators, and face sheets.

Labels, adhesives, LDPE, PET, it's all pretty unnerving about what can or cannot leech into your juice. This is exactly why I'm moving to label free.

Stupid question, but how are people supposed to know what's in the bottle without a label?

Is it just a labeling scheme without using an adhesive sticker?

Laser engraved bottles. :)

Yeah, I'd be keen to see it. I'm also in the printing industry so will be interesting to see what you guys are up to - labels aren't really our main gig.

by tobaccowhackoover 10 years ago

sweet, what kind of printing do you do?

1 points
 
by BuryMeInSmokeover 10 years ago

Digital and screen. We do mostly sheet plastics for industrial applications, keypads, electrical membranes, that sort of thing. Also alu and stainless tags/nameplates. I look after the digital stuff, started off in screen though.

Will probably fire some questions your way in the proper AMA :-)

Oh wow, cool! Do specialize in short runs, or more for large quantities?

I don't really have time to read this fully right now. I am definitely interested and will be back a little later. Definitely a yes from me.

I'd like to see this. I have a few questions about labeling my bottles that I can't quite get a definite answer with Google.

Why of course!

I won't be awake for this, being an Australian. Someone please ask him what makes a good juice label - in regards to stock and ink/printing.

I have some of the labels made by the company he works for and they are top knotch. I'd definitely trust what he has to say.
