Decent labels

[DiscoDes]

can someone recommend me (with links) some labels for my own mixes that will stick nicely to the polythene (soft) bottles of my own mixes. I have some Avery labels that I use but they don't stick very well.

I use these and they work great: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WTE4XE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

On both glass and plastic bottles

I have got one of those labeling machines. Generally use black on clear tape, doesn't run if it gets wet, sticks on well and peels off cleanly when needed. Not as fancy as some, but does the trick.

I use a Brother QL-500 label printer for finished mixes. Bit more pricey (just under 40 quid) but given the cost of ink cartidges its likely to be cheaper in the long run.

Use it for labelling kids stuff as well

I have a Brother P-touch 1000 I bought in Lidl a few years ago. They still get then in seasonally once a year.

It's the Brother P-Touch 1080 I've got.  They are a bit like a modern up market Dymo tape labeler!!!

If you do choose to buy them labels i linked i can send you my label template for them so you can choose what font and size etc...but you will need open office org: www.openoffice.org/download/ to make the template work, google docs does not like my template

Done it for another member on here and it seems to work for her

Just ordered those Rom.
Now looking for some round ones to go on the bottom of the circular glass bottles I will be painting. Don't want to stick labels over my artwork so want to put little round ones on the base.

Geez, you are quick off the mark!! I was just dunking a couple of coconut bikes in my coffee before going to look and you saved me the bother lol!!
Thanks hun xx

Bloody predictive text!
I do not dunk coconut bikes in my coffee. Just thought I would clarify

I use Scotch 'Magic' sticky tape.

It is translucent and you can write directly on it using a cd / dvd type marker. Sticks easily and well to plastic or glass bottles and is easy to remove when you need to.

I also used it to reduce the air hole in my RSST top after accidentally increasing it a bit to much! It doesn't wrinkle off despite how hot that top can get sometimes.

I use the free online software at avery.co.uk to create a PDF which I print on standard inkjet paper, cut em out and prit-stick em on...
I must be far too northern (tight-arse) for my own good, but cutting and sticking is very therapeutic

Oh, and my four year old just LOVES to help me

Guess which was his...
