Other than the obvious cropping issue, it looks like a movie ticket. That font is not doing your bottle any favors, unless movie ticket or medicine bottle is what you're looking for.

If this is for your personal consumption or sharing with friends its more than fine. I'm still writing on my bottles with a sharpie and covering it with scotch tape. This from a graphic artist thats done hundreds of product layouts over the last 20+ years. (Yes, I'm lazy when not getting paid.) Oh and congrats on a straight forward name that describes the flavor. So much better than some of the other stupid names I come across.

But I bet the handwriting is fabulous and the tape is sized appropriately and lined up perfectly!

The labels are really just for me to keep track of everything. I have terrible handwriting and couldn't read half of the labels I wrote. I'm mostly just giving them to people I work with who are interested.

like em a lot, but i'd move the text down a touch so it doesn't get cut off

Yeah the text is aligned but my printer is not. Still trying to get them right

I like them. the only suggestion I would have is that you just drop the lettering down a hair so you don't cut quite so close to the top of the label. I feel like people get fooled by fancy labels. Some people outsource the labels, or buy a $1000 printer and then claim it is "premium juice." I judge by flavor!

What did you use to make your label, I've been thinking of creating a label lately. Was it the really common 3m labels, or did you do it on normal paper and then attach it?

I just used 1 in round Avery brand labels that come on 4x6 sheets. Made the design in Photoshop then used averys software to print them. The software comes with templates you can use as well

Thanks, but besides what was already mentioned about the text at the top I like them! Now I just need to buy some labels to replace my paper labels with tape on it.

I would put a little bit of spacing between the details on the bottom. It appears cluttered. Also font choice for the bottom half could be better. It does look like a movie ticket, which can be good, I suppose. But I would change it to a more thin, elegant script to compliment the graphic that you have up. Just my two cents!

I like it but I'd make it bigger. If it's just for you & friends though, looks good. Better than my painter's tape w/ sharpie labels.

I have done the blue tape with a sharpie for a while, lol. I would have kept it, but my son wanted a more professional look, ok

Add some safety information to it if you are giving it out. Who knows who will handle the bottle down the road and you want to make sure they know it has nicotine in it. Adding a DANGER: Product may contain nicotine is a great start. I would also list the ingredients, like Bottle Contains: VG, PG, Nicotine, Artificial Flavors.

One little thing that you're doing there (and a lot of even pro juicemakers do) is "2mg"

2mg what? 2mg of gold? 2mg of arsenic? 2mg of unidentified stuff on your workbench you decided to infuse into each bottle? Without the complete units of mg/ml it's just jibberish.

And even then, 2mg/ml of what? Urine? Clay? Ice cream?

Absolute shortest text string to convey the information completely would be: 0.2%NIC

It looks like you punched a hole out of the center of a label and put that on the bottle. Just needs to be bigger and fix the cropping. A saturn shape would work well with the background image.

I will give you my opinion if you send me a bottle of that.

In that case my opinion is that its better than handwriting you can't read. Also, I can send you some bottles.
