Wine Bottle Labels

Custom label printing is more common, these days, than purchasing “standard” labels for items, than in the past.  With the modern internet “download” capabilities and the ability to order and purchase labels online, as well as the ability to make your OWN labels, having custom label prints is much easier, as well.  For example, there are some web sites that you can visit and submit your own designs and have the company actually print and ship the labels to your door.  Some examples of the web sites that offer this service are www.printplace.com, www.elitedesignweb.com, www.frontierlabel.com and www.customlabel.com.

As I have already mentioned, you can also make your OWN custom label printing.  By creating your own personal designs using programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop or even a program as simple as Print Master, you can purchase blank labels at any department store, office supply store or print shop to print your labels.  Speaking of print shops, you can also have custom labels made AT a print shop.  Simply provide the design or have the print shop printers create a design, for you and place your order for labels directly through the shop, itself.

Depending on the custom label printing technique that you choose, you will find that prices will vary, greatly.  If you are ordering your labels from a web site, for example, you will pay for the order, the customization as well as print and shipping.  If you decide that you’d like to save money and make your own customized labels, you can purchase the blank labels as I have mentioned, for under $20, the only really “cost” other than the ink you already purchase for your printer, anyway.  However, if you are in need of a very large quantity of labels printed, you may actually save MORE money, by placing a bulk order online or at a local store.  Most web sites and print shops will begin discounted the rates of prints they make, after a certain number, for example: $200 for the first 200 prints, then $0.50 for each additional label printed; keep in mind that this is not an actual price “quote” but merely an example of how these types of discounts generally work.

Because of the fact that there are many types of labels for different purposes, when it comes to custom label printing, you want to make sure that the labels you are printed or having printed suit their purpose, precisely.  There are labels that are specifically intended to place on paper items, such as envelopes, books and boxes, as well as labels for glass and plastic bottles and other hard porous materials.  You will want to be sure you have the proper style of labels and the proper printing, so that the labels are able to adhere to the item, without being “sweat” off from condensation. Using the proper ink in the print will prevent the label’s print design from running or “bleeding” as well.

Simply know what type of custom label printing you would like to have for the items you are labeling, approximately how many labels you will need, as well as the cost you are willing to spend.  Shop around, compare the prices and base your purchase decision on these aspects, considerations and points.
