These look awesome how did you create them?

bellmtbbq said:Is this 7x3? I've always done half labels but I love doing the packaging more then the brewing so a full label it is next time. Nice design!
I bottled my smoked ale yesterday. Just a small, 2 gallon batch to test.
hahahaha! I LOVE this label...would definitely make me wanna buy!
This is for my Irish Red. Its really red, so I kept the label simple to make it seem as if you actually are drinking a red potion from Zelda.

Fished up the labels. Stuck one of each last night as even with three people tearing them, it was too late to glue them all on. 150 bottles to do tonight. Not the best phone photo but it's taken from inside a Pizza and Victory Headwaters coma.
While high contrast white labels can look amazing on a bottle, without label paper that's 100% opaque and a matte or gloss finish, it always looks terrible. I use label paper that has adhesive gum on one side (like a stamp) but once I wet it to get it to stick, the paper looses some of its opaqueness. With white labels, it looks like crap.
If you buy super thick finished paper, you could always use the milk method of applying the paper to the bottle.
It's all about production quality
These are really nice. What paper are you using? Do you mind sharing the Illustrator/PS file?
Thanks, I edited the post to include some details and link to the ZIP.
Thanks. Is the texture on the edges from the resume paper?
I put each label 3 up into a PDF and added crop marks. We used a ruler and ripped the excess off leaving the tattered edges. Butting the labels together it was 6 tears per sheet. Do the long edges first, makes for less tears
