Making Your Own Labels

[lukemarsh]

What is the best way to effectively make your own beer bottle labels? I've tried numerous times with sheets of labels (8 to an A4 page) and printing from the home computer and printer, using Word and Publisher... but the size is never right, it's either too wide, or too tall!
I was considering getting sheets of A4 single labels (the whole page) and just cutting out the labels to any size and shape so it will fit perfectly, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any companies or businesses that will print your labels semi-professionally for a reasonable price?

I just use normal paper in a laser printer and so the label can be whatever size or image i want. cut them up with scissors or your work's guillotine. then a pastry brush and a cup of milk to stick them on.

Here's a site where you can make your own labels. Then instead of ordering them, view them large and drag them to your desktop.. for printing.

Check out the Coopers site. They have a label maker. Doesn't look too bad.
You would have to print onto a full sheet and cut out.

Milk you say? I'll try that! The labels I have cost about $30 for hundreds of sheets, but the labels are too skinny and long, and I can't line the word document up with the actual labels! Pain in the ass...

I'll try these other suggestions and let you all know how I go... I did email this "warb" character, but I don't know if they will ever reply. Does anyone have a personal email for this person or something?
How much do they charge?
