These labels are great to get designs down pat and for small scale sales. I'm still trying to find a cheap place that will make matte/glass labels.

Here are ours! http://i.imgur.com/xDuesZp.jpg

I've tried these labels before and they're great until you have to peel them off to clean the bottles. Now if you're selling the bottles or giving them away to fam/friends then it's no biggie. I just hated how they would partially peel off and leave a glue residue on the glass.. Just my useless 2¢.

for whatever reason i've found they peel off my clear glass better than anything else.

also i'll peel off the old label. mix in the bottle. then put the bottle in the UC before relabeling. after an hour in the UC the residual goo comes right off.

I use those same labels as well. I use Avery's design & print software to design my labels. It's free and easy to use. I wish they were water proof, but they work great for me.

If you don't mind using tape, put Dollar General brand tape over it. 100% clear and never falls off. That is if you have DG where you live.

Can confirm this, I found printing labels on my laserjet, and using the DG packing tape was the best looking out of a bunch of label options I considered.

These are the clear matte, I like them better.

The clear are cool too but limit the design visibility.

And their Maestro Label Designer works well and you get it free when you make an order

Intrigued by this raspberry nilla cream. Do tell how to get this or a recipe?

Yeah honestly though I'm not really a fan of the clear label look on bottles. I like to have a solid label, and then I like to leave an open window in the back so you can see into the bottle easily. That's just me though.

EDIT: Those are also really expensive compared to these. Also Avery sells a clear matte label of the same style as mine for a similar price to the white ones.

Thanks. It's simple and looks a lot better than my shitty handwriting.

Yeah they're great. Not a waterproof solution but it's ideal for keeping track of things at home or selling/giving to friends. The software they provide is decent too.
