Where do you purchase your labels?
submitted over 10 years ago by Aesaunic

I was wondering the best (cheapest/reliable) out there for label printing? I need to get 200 labels printed, full color and with the "foil" kind of back on them (they look slightly metallic?)

Suggestion welcome!

I was about to print mine at home. I figured I could find business card sticker backed sheets but haven't researched.

If you want to print yourself, go here, http://www.onlinelabels.com

We use their weatherproof matte labels at Cloud Provisions, and I can't say enough good things about them.

Straight off the printer they are liquid proof, they never smear. They also offer sizes that aren't "Avery 5160", so you can get a really nice fit based on your bottle.

We use a little 1x2 for our 12ml bottles, http://imgur.com/YOkKzTg and a 1.3x2.75 for 18ml and up. http://imgur.com/bMuQplx

So I take it you use an inkjet printer? I currently have a laser printer and it works really well for text only but not for images and doesn't produce a great color either. Currently thinking about getting a good inkjet, any recommendations? I've also used onlinelabels.com for labels but their weatherproof labels for laser printers are terrible. They wouldn't stay on and peeled off constantly. I'm guessing their inkjet labels are different since you use them.

I bought the hp envy 4500 inkjet printer. 4800 max dpi and it was only around $100

Yes, inkjet. I haven't tried their laser labels. I would assume the adhesives would be the same, but that may not be the case.

Do you use an inkjet or a laser printer? I used this same method for my bottles, except without the weatherproof labels and I'm using an inkjet. My labels color smears when they get wet. Wondering if it's because of the inkjet, or the labels?

That's a 60ml. You can find them at C&P or SKS

I'm not sure how to ask this question but what kind of printer software do you use to print on the corrects spots where the stickers are placed? How does the printer know where the sticker is located on the sheet?

Onlinelabels.com offers templates for all of their label sheets. Use that as a rough estimate only, as very few non-commercial printers will print a true 100% full bleed (borderless).

It can be a lot of trial and error at that point getting all to line up.

All my print work is done in Adobe Illustrator CC.

I get mine from a local print shop that does vinyl wraps for cars. They charge by the square foot and with this size of my labels I get them for about $0.30 a label

Do any of you just use a label maker?

Seems like it would be way cheaper than ordering custom. Is a label maker a bad choice for some reason?

So, I have labels that I've been cutting out and taping over.. Is there a way someone can print the template I have onto the stickers, or would it be better to print them myself? I have a printer, but I'm assuming it's not on par with what you guys use.

+1 I use the Avery online program and use the Onlinelabels.com labels.

I tried their program and could never get the print to line up right, or the colored borders would bleed over to the edges, no matter how much I tweaked the margins
