Custom 6-packs, caps & labels?
Anyone have a good, affordable source for custom boxes/6-packs, caps & labels? Looking for small quantity orders at a reasonable price.
This is really just for ego and not a necessity, but if I can get some nice packaging done at an affordable price, it might be cool. |
I've had good esults with this:

For caps go with Bottlemark. They do a fantastic job and the prices are extremely reasonable.

I can't speak highly enough if bottlemark. I have noticed that the caps can scratch if you're not using a bench top capper. Not too bad or even noticeable though.
I use the labelizer mentioned above. For six pax make a stencil and spray paint on the bare cardboard ones. Gives it a nice industrial look. |

Thanks everyone! Also, as Kombat asked above, where is a good place to get bare cardboard 6-packs?

Williams
Austin homebrew Midwest Most of the big online retailers will carry them. Williams used to give a price break when you bought more than 10 I believe. Should be $1.00 each and heavier cardboard than the typical 6 pack. |
I did some shopping around and Austin is nice because their price-breaks start at quantities as low as 4.
As for the caps, I'm probably too late for my current brews, but for future brews, when I have more planning time, I think I'll test an order with Bottlemark. That label design site is nice too, but I'm not ready to commit to relabeling bottles I just scrubbed clean. Once I have some tried and true recipes I'll give that a go. For my current brews, I'm going to grab a pack of printable 3/4" stickers for my caps: http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Labels/Identification-Labels/Print-or-Write-Multi_Use-Labels_05408.htm?N=4294967289%204294965712%2042949 65710%204294965728&Ns=Rank|0||Product%20Number|1&r efchannel=593759baa4c2a110VgnVCM1000002118140aRCRD |

I also love bottlemark for caps. Caps are, what... 12 cents each?
I use beer bottle labels from onlinelabels.com. Print them in a laser or inkjet printer, they look fantastic. |
