Fantastic Whiskey Label Maker
Hello Everyone,
Just finished creating my own labels for what will hopefully become my first bit of drinkable whisky. Still aging, should be ready around October. At any rate, I found a really great system to make labels. And I thought I would pass it on. Avery https://www.avery.com/products/labels/u ... ing-labels sells adhesive labels that are perfect for putting on glass bottles. But even better, they have an online tool, that allows you to print out your labels easily. You basically just pick your label size (there are dozens of them, mine was 6873), put in your graphics, load the sticker sheet into your printer, and simple as that... DONE!!!. The online software even asks you if you want to print the entire sheet, or just one (and even which one on the sheet, so no waste!). I was completely amazed at what a simple job this made of something that is usually a PITA. And the best part. Something like $.15 a label. (Mine pack came with 200 labels) Enjoy....

Re: Fantastic Whiskey Label Maker
I use the avery labels too and agree that it’s a cool system. You can upload jpg’s for your artwork and hand sketch and take a photo. Then add text or whatever. The ones I use are removable so they just peel off. A plastic paper thing not paper paper so they don’t stick or leave a gummy residue.
Cheers!

Re: Fantastic Whiskey Label Maker
If only they could make one that was dry erase marker friendly. Sadly, no one seems to make this. Would love to write on the bottle, and then wipe it off, fill it again with something else, and write on it again...jonnys_spirit wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 7:53 pm I use the avery labels too and agree that it’s a cool system.

Sounds interesting. Mine are just paper type labels. Seems to work with the printer well though...jonnys_spirit wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 7:53 pm I use the avery labels too and agree that it’s a cool system.

Re: Fantastic Whiskey Label Maker
Use a laundry marker direct onto the glass. When done a little soap and a light scrub and it comes offarmor99 wrote: ↑Mon May 16, 2022 8:10 pmIf only they could make one that was dry erase marker friendly. Sadly, no one seems to make this.

I just use a sharpie. Comes right off with the scrubby side of the sponge when im cleaning the bottles.
Those labels do look nice though

Re: Fantastic Whiskey Label Maker

Haven't bought a CD/DVD in more than 5 years - and i work in IT!

But yes, they would work quite nicely!
