After playing with it for a bit, photoshop makes it really easy to do this kinda thing. Tough to learn though.
That is a fantastic label, one of the best I have seen
Hmm...I wonder if you can do colour laser printing on clear contact, or if there's special printable clear labels around. My label will be bloody hard to cut out in an amateur setting. If it was a microbrewery, you'd get a label printing mob to make up a die cutting knife to suit, costs a fortune in setup, but then cheap per label. Only worthwhile if you're talking hundreds of thousands of units though. Any of the rest of you with curved labels will find it tricky too. If you can print it on clear contact and cut sheets into squares, would make life much easier.Most of the time I've found you don't have to soak labels off. Half filling the bottle with hot tap water usually softens the glue sufficiently to remove the labels easily.
Another way to make easy to remove labels to to use clear contact. You put the clear contact over the label making sure that there is extra around the edges. Holds the label on well and peels off quite easily. From memory it doesn't appear to leave any residue.
Photoshop is the graphical equivalent of a full tool belt with the best gear, it can build anything you want if you have the knowledge...
Thats the truth right there.
