Andy, the labelizer is awesome! Being an absolute spaz when it comes to design I've really been struggling with my labels, and haven't had any joy trying to find something like this.
As for bottles, glass is fine (better even), as long as you make sure your fermentation is finished (use your hydrometer!)... I use a mix of plastic and glass. I just use avery self adhesive sheets for my labels. I clean my bottles using a sodium percarbonate laundry soaker, which rips them off glass, but isn't so good with the plastic. There is always a residue left on plastic bottles, but I always use the same sized label so just put it over the top.

Outstanding job. Is there any way to save the label? I don't have a color laser printer and typically send mine to my local UPS Store to get them printed.

I think if you look at your print dialog box when it comes up, it might have print as pdf (This actually saves a pdf file). If not then I can build a button to save off a Jpeg when I next update the site.

This is really cool! A non-graphic designer like me needs something like this. I'd be happy to pay a yearly fee for this convenience!
Keep up the good work!

New Label in Beer Labelizer
|
|
I know a few people were asking for a shield shaped label. So I've now added a shield style label. I've gone all american and added eagles as well!! In New Zealand our national animal is a flightless bird called the kiwi. I don't think that would have looked as cool on a beer label.

Also, to answer your question, milk won't stick to plastic

support for special/international characters?
|
|
Beer Labelizer is an awesome idea, however I'm missing the possibility to type foreign language/international characters like æ ( æ ), ø ( ø ) and å ( å ) or characters with German umlauts as well as international language accent marks commonly used in French language.
I don't think it's a limitation in Flash as I've seen other Flash applications that will allow these characters as input, but I've no idea what's required to get it to work in your app.

Terrific job, I really like this because I am not a graphic designer either! My beer tastes great, my labels tend to look like they are missing a chromosome.
