I print for personal use using Avery 5160 labels.

I've sued these then lamented them then cut the label out so it lasts longer.

Your typos drastically changed the meaning of that sentence

Typo? I see no typo, those labels deserved to be used.

LOL, they really did. Certainly more dramatic than my boring labeling efforts...

I use these as well. Print for known recipes. Write on them for new mixes.

If you are worrying about the type running. I use these weatherproof matte for ikjet from onlinelabels # OL875WJ they are the same size as the 5160

no problems adhering to plastic bottles?

Occasionally a label won't stick, I just wipe the bottle with alcohol and the label sticks just fine. Probably not a problem when the bottle is rinsed in alcohol.

I use my DYMO Labelwriter 450 to print labels.

It looks like this: http://imgur.com/a/ZZZjy

Those are LDPE bottles right? Any problems with flavour loss over a period?

1 points

by Kebabziialmost 10 years ago

I got them from Fasttech, and yea, I've experienced that flavor tends to be less with time. Reason why, I don't know :/

Well LDPE isn't such a great oxygen barrier. Obvious effects would be on the nicotine oxidation but not sure about flavour.

A lot of juice manufacturers use them though so I'm not entirely sure if the effects are prominent enough. I use LDPE for my 10ml bottles but those typically don't last long (testing mixes and samples). Glass is good for home storage but for out and about use or to pass to friends, I'm contemplating whether LDPE is the way to go. Maybe PET would be better.

I use Avery 5026 and it adheres pretty well to glass as well as plastic.

Wish I could find something that's juiceproof though.

Juiceproof: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IBUV then throw these right on top: http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Clear-Address-Labels-Count/dp/B00007LP9T got the idea for the clear on top from watching /u/botboy141 label a bottle :)

Ooh, hope this works. I used some self laminating labels once and the juice just crept under the laminate :|

That would be nice. Like the labels on ANML juices. They also don't leave residue when peeled off the bottle.

OnlineLabels.com, polyester labels, download their template, MS Word, laser printer, good to go.

Started printing with Avery 8460 (inkjet) labels. But since they are for personal use, I remove and replace when I change juice. These stick and leave residue on the bottle, so I have to scrub the old label off when changing. Not hard, just a pain. Recently bought a Brother QL-700 and I'm starting to label with that. Doesn't look like these will leave residue, but I won't know for sure until I have to replace one. Only been on the bottle for a few days and easy to peel off, but I want to give it a week or more before I know for sure.

I use Avery waterproof mailing labels. They resist juice as well. They are foil backed instead of paper. I think they only work with laser printers though.
