Hey, at least you printed them. I just use a Sharpie on my Avery labels.

I usually just use Sharpie when it's for my own personal use, but I print the labels when selling to friends and family

That's ghetto. Invisible tape is what all us classy guys use.

Not bad, not bad. I go even more poverty than /u/mmmmmgeee by reusing vendor bottles without removing their labels. I know what I mixed in there... Most of the time!

I came here to say this, but then again, I only make juice for myself.

Avery label maker software (Online version or Offline version)and these labels are what I use. I use to use the Avery brand ones, but I found the Vinyl Inkjet Waterproof are really awesome and they are the same size as the Avery 5160 labels.

I also run them through as I need them and haven't had them jam up the printer yet.

Edit: Sample of what my labels look like. Used the avery software and came up with something quick.

Nothing wrong with those at all. My first DIY batches looked pretty similar.

Anybody using the clear Avery labels? Says they can be printed on with inkjet. I wanna try them out

I use them, they arent anything special and seem to have a bit of a tacky residue on them. Otherwise they work well enough for personal/friend use.

Thanks for the reply. I knew there would be something bad about them. I might try them out still. I only mix for friends anyway.

Makes sense though. Something tacky for the ink to stick to.

I've heard they aren't very good. The owner of my local B&M told me to stay away from them. I think he said they don't stick very well. Might just be for commercial use, not production.

So do you print off a whole bunch at a time, or do you run them through as you need them? I was wondering how a sheet would stand up with several trips through the printer.

What little I sell/give away I would like something nicer than hand written, but I get such varying ratio/strentgh/recipes that it would be impractical to print a sheet even with the common stuff.

I use Avery compatible labels that are vinyl/waterproof and I run them through as needed. Never had them jam up. Just store the sheet stored away from heat and preferably pressed between the cardboard that comes with it.

Generally I create them as I need them
