Sticky Labels for bottles

[cHooBeyDoo]

Just wondered what types of sticky labels you guys use to put on your bottles.

I'd like some hardy labels that stick well but can be squeezed without peeling and crinkling too much, can be printed on and can also be peeled off easily (for when washing the bottles) without leaving much residue behind.

So far i've only used small Avery labels from some free sample packs I get, they are a perfect size for 10ml bottles and peel off without leaving any residue, but they don't seem to be sticking very well and are coming unstuck around the edges. I have to keep sticking them back down and it's becoming a pain the bum.

I use Scotch Magic Tape and a marker, than another layer of tap over that.

I use permanent DVD marker pens to write on my bottles.

Thankfully they're far from permanent and quite easy to wipe off, but the writing usually lasts as long as the contents.

I write on a small bit of paper then stick it on with sellotape, sticky labels kept falling off!

Masking tape n pen here. Not the neatest but works.

I dug out my old dymo label maker. Basic single line printing, but they don't leave any residue. They also don't stick particularly well, so I stick clear sellotape over the top.

I type my labels on A4 plain paper and stick with Sellotape looks quite neat and ink doesn't run. I'm messy when filling my protank mini's lol. I find this quite easy as when I mix now I usually do around a dozen different flavours and have an excel spreadsheet that I use as a template for the labels.

if you only make a few different flavours just use different coloured bottle caps

My last mixing session I made 17 x 10ml samples up Ronaldo, it's difficult to stop when you get on a roll.


Other than that it's Rymans for labels for me, they seem to stay put, yet peel off relatively easily if you want to re-use the bottles.

Yep, cut off strips of masking tape for me as well lol. Sticks really good, easy to take off, can write on it in pen or pencil and it's super cheap

I use a Brother P-touch 1010 labelling machine. We got it from Lidl but I can't remember what we paid for it but it was a lot less than the £25 it's selling for on Amazon. I get refill cartridges from Printerbase online. Typing this reminded me to check my stock - down to my last 36 metres

The labels stick like the proverbial to a blanket, peel off easily & leave no adhesive on the bottles, don't loosen when washed in hot water or an ultrasonic cleaner. Now undergoing their last test in the freezer.

I use Tesco 42 White Labels 25mm x 50mm. Cheap and they work well for me. They suit 10ml to 100ml bottles.

Lidl's got the P-touch 1010 back in stock next week, it's in their special offers brochure for June 19th-25th!
