Beer Labels

[Bogwoppit]

I'm getting married in August and I'm planning on having about 150-200 bottles brewed for the event.

I'd like to get some nice labels printed up and I was wondering if anybody had gone through the process before and could recommend a printer to do the job.

There's a huge number of companies out there and I'm just looking for advice if anyone has any.

btw; I'll be calling it Hoppily Ever After unless anybody has any better suggestions.

Thanks

A local printer did one for someone I know at 100 for £20, just to give you a ballpark figure. I didn't see them, but they looked good by all accounts. The beer went down well too, ahem!

name suggestion:

• Fades with age

• Pale, bitter and cheap, like herself
  
• Yours until I diacetyl

Your next now, ha, your next...

Fair play to you for getting involved with the wedding planning details. All I did for my wedding was turn up on the day 

Geterbrewed do labels. I haven't used them myself but they seem to know what they're up to.

I wouldn't be bothered printing them yourself. Good printers are expensive to run and it wouldn't be worth it just to print off a few labels.

Name suggestion:

I brew

Mine was called "Something Borrowed Pale Ale" But I wasn't allowed serve it.

beerlabeliser.com, great labels in seconds, loads of styles and shapes. a lazer printer will whach them out in no time 6 per page. Put them on bottles with milk.
Unless u want sticky labels that wont wash off like most of the Irish craft brewers use

Hi Bren

I'd used that site already to make some labels, let me know what you think.

I think 200 would be far too much for my own printer so I found a couple in the locality and I'm waiting for some quotes.

Thanks to all.

I met with a synthetic biologist yesterday.
I mentioned using milk for sticking labels, he mentioned that milk plasticises.
Think about the milk ring left in a cereal bowl.

ye its amazing seems to stick even when wet and to remove warm oxy action and it just falls off

I use beerlabelizer and my colour laser, works fine and really presents the beer well

Is anybody signed up for membership on this site? Just wonder what other paid designs are there, is it worth a fiver?

The only issue with milk as a label glue is the fact that if it's left in a damp environment at all, such as a shed or garage, the milk can eventually grow mould.

I use a "pritt Stick" no problem when getting damp. I use to use milk but they fall off after a day or two in the fridge.

wat do sheperd neame use? the labels fall off really easily in warm water?
