Kirby's Cake. Tastes just like strawberry shortcake :)

That sounds really good. Would you share your recipe?

Sure, I've only given it about a 3 day steep so I will probably post my whole first line of good recipes soon. After I know they don't taste funky.

These labels look so sophisticated and elegant. Looks like you should be selling these at Dillard's right by the Polo section. I bet you could get away with putting select or reserve on them and sell them for 22 dollars a bottle. I'm serious. Are these done with a ink jet.

Also very interested in your set up. My label maker only goes so far

I'm in the process of going through the label setup. I have my logo but I'm stuck between buying a printer and doing myself or uploading my logo and have them printed. My logo is simple but effective and black on white.

I just got a cheap inkjet from Walmart forever ago. I pay like $5 for a pack of avery labels and it's good for 140 labels (10 sheets)

Avery Labels 1 and 1/3rd by 4 inches. Then the avery label maker app for Ipad. Cannon Inkjet printer. MG3100.

In all honesty from a guy who has 2 juice lines out there, his labels would be the reason shops don't pick him up, here in Socal atleast.

EDIT: If his juice was actually really top of the line and has potential to sell, he could sign with another company and they would redo the labels and market it for him.

That's interesting. Would you be talking about something more colorful and artistic?

That, and a theme. If you have a label that is like this where it is nice style cursive on plain white, there either has to be more too it, like the Five Pawns bottles where it has batch numbers, ratios, etc. To the shop it seems plain, like something someone just did in a word document for 2 minutes, so they see the lack of effort on the labeling and reflect it onto the work of the juice itself. Now about OP's labels. Yes to the basic eye and basic consumer, those do look nice, I agree, but one of the big things he is missing if he wanted to release the line officially, Is a logo/Brand name. I see it says Pal Juice in the corner, which i'm assuming would be his brand, but for these bottles to go anywhere they would need better placement and re-sizing.

Yeah I get what you mean. Here in SoCal every juice that comes into the shop is always decked out with some super colored, eye popping labels. (Onedrop and Roybot come to mind) I've yet to come across anything this simple. You make a good point that most people don't consider.

HAHAHA I cant believe you just mention Roybot, that's great.

Thanks for your honesty! :) To be honest I am still tweaking recipes so that'll be 2 reasons shops wouldnt pick me up :) These are just for friends/family atm.

Thanks for the compliment! Yes these were done on an ink jet; but I need a lot more work in these labels before I get them where I want them.

What is the best way to go about doing great looking labels? A buddy and I are working on a design now but need the best method to make them look nice.

Thoughts?

This was my first attempt at bottles! They seem sort of bland to me, I'll work on that when I nail down what info I want to display on the bottles.

Opinions?

Edit 1: Dates on the bottles are wrong, lol.

Maybe you have a good reason for it but to me it would make more sense to put the value before the unit, and not the other way around? As in 0 mg instead of mg 0.

Also if you care about these things, writing "MG" and "ML" in caps is wrong, most people don't give a shit but I'm a chemist so I always notice these things.

"m" is milli (10^-3), "M" is mega (10^6).

"g" is gram, "G" is giga (10^9).

A capital L for liter is actually fine. The symbol for liter is normally l (lower case L), but due to it's similarity to I in some fonts, it has been decided that a capital L will be accepted. Normally, only the units named after a person are written with a capital letter. Like N for Newton, K for Kelvin, etc.

The only reason the numbers come after is because I was too lazy to set it up correctly :D.

I will apply these fixes. Thanks for the info :)
