My New Labels

[Captain]

I use a MS Word template that prints out on Avery address labels. 8 to a page and they go through my colour inkjet. it's simple to add graphics and text.

Looking for advice around sticking lables to bottles - have done a search and can't see too many options?

I have heavily plagourised the Coopers SA lable (I mean, I copied the hell out of the beer and stole their yeast, so thought I might as well finish the job) - copy attached.

Anyone had much success sticking thse to a PET bottle? I was thinking of a watered down PVA type mixture..

Cheers - Mike

I've blantantly ripped off Frankos Label for Normell to design my latest three (please don't sue Franko, you inspired me ).

I have found that a glu-stick works well. It's easy to use, the labels stick, and they clean off easy in hot water.

My original labels (printed onto avery sticker paper) was a bastard to get off. The bottles still have some remanats of the glue after many wash cycles.

My lael is black'n'white and fairly crappy compared to the designs here... but it's cheap
Missus get's this stuff from Big W that acts like double sided tape and comes in this handy dispenser. So you have to get the height of the label right for the size of tape available but length isn't an issue.
Then you can print out whatever on your home printer (colour if you want, or better still take it to work) and then just feed it thru the little machine.
The first roll we got was a fairly strong glue and a b#stard to get off the bottle, the latest is meant to be like water soluble so it'll come off easier.
Ends up costing ~$5 per ~60 bottle batch, plus colour printing if you want to go that way.
If anyone's interested I'll post some photo's of the unit and some more info.

I'm watching you Major

The best label sticking method I've come across is:

use paper (ie. not sticky) and use a basting brush to wipe milk onto the back of the label until the paper is dampish. Apply the label to the bottle and it magically glues on. (Not sure how you'd go with inkjet printing though).

To remove, simply rinse in warm water.

Works every time.

cheers, Arnie

Beats drinking milk eh Arnie? :lol:

As your famous Austrian namesake once said... Milk is for babies. I only drink beer.

Backlane Brewery,
Where did you get the pictures for your Su-Pear-Eme Gravy? I've been searching tediously through the internet for about 4 hours non stop but to no avail.

Cheers,
Andrew
