Title: Beer Labels
Post by: Dr Jacoby on June 25, 2013, 11:51:16 AM
I'm brewing beer for a friend's wedding and wanted to look into getting some nice labels for the bottles. Any suggestions for suppliers?

Probably doesn't help, but you can design your own labels on the Cooper's site

Cheers Dunkel, that could come in handy. The only thing is I was hoping to find a site that would print out the stickers and send them on to me. My friend was looking to get something professional looking and I'm not sure I could accomplish that at home with my printer!

I saw a few adverts on BYO magazine for wedding beer labels. They would all be US based but I could dig them out if you're interested?

I use it for any labels I make up. You "can " pay for them or capture the screen and edit it from paint or something like that.

I also found http://www.grogtag.com/ (http://www.grogtag.com/) to be one of the best label sites I have used, I deem them to be a bit pricey but depends on your budget.

Grogtag has a great design interface, but as Shiny says, its ridiculously expensive. For 200 labels it came to $99 but you need to add $117 for P&P! Taking the piss or what!

yeah the pricing is insane, I just make the label and snip it. I have never looked to see if they let you export is as a high resolution image (which you could then download and get a different site to print it).

$117 for postage is absolutely ridiculous!

Shipito.com could be an option to take the sting out of the P&P, but it would still be annoyingly high. I don't understand why these companies price themselves out of the international market. If they don't want to ship internationally they should remove international orders as an option on their site.

They do have nice labels though  ;)

Got a load of these stickers printed up a few months back of a designdone on the Coopers link mentioned earlier.
Mighty job and cheap.
I'll try find a link in the morning.

Yes, it does exactly what you're thinking.
Waste of beer if you ask me...

My wife got my labels made locally. I'll ask her how much.

Well if they are the labels that were on the bottles you gave me a while back,I would ask for my money back. :P
