Apfelwein Label

[Revvy]

You know something buddy, I think you set the standard for apfelwein labels!

Just like Ed set the standard with his recipe....

Your label is perfect!

LOL! Thanks I decided to send it in to the BYO Label contest so we'll see if they like it as much as you do

Here's another one I'm going to try and do. This is just a mock up but I want to try and make a real one

If you made those for sale, I'd definitely buy one!

LoL! You know,I was going to try and physically make them myself by buying some of these keychains and trying to take them apart and put the logo in there but after some quick research online I found a custom Print-On-Demand place that will make them for $6.99

I'm going to buy one and see how the quality is and if they're any good I'll let you know

if you want to make your own keychain bottle openers with your own logo then go to
PrintOnDemandShop.com and upload your label

I finally took advantage of this bad ass label. Normally I don't go to all the trouble but I think I am going to give a bunch of these bottles away.

Still and sparkling.

Keen! Thanks for posting, they look great I finally got my camera fixed (it just arrived in the mail today) so if anyone ever wanted to sneak a peek at one of my 'jugs' here's your chance...

What do you print your labels with? Are they lasered, or do you have them done?

Wow a growler of Apfelwein!!! That's a major hangover waiting to happen...

These were just printed on my Inkjet on regular copy paper but I may invest in a box of these waterproof vinyl inkjet labels.

I'm not sure how well they work but according to their website the labels "feature a unique top-coating that causes your inkjet inks to dry instantly and permanently even when exposed to moisture. These labels are made with an extra strength adhesive and can withstand temperatures in extreme heat and sub-zero conditions. Our brilliant white face stock can be printed using your highest dpi setting allowing you to create amazing images. These vinyl labels are perfect for creating your own labels for wine & beer bottles"

I was also thinking about looking into some vinyl cling labels so I can re-use them but if these are water proof, they may last a long time and I'll only be using these jugs for Apfelwine so it might be worth it.

WOW...sounds great, I didn't know you could print with a bubblejet and have it hold up to moisture...

I too have been wondering about vinyl cling labels myself...That way they'd be reusable in beer batches, and easy to remove....

Now that my camera is fixed I'm a picture taking fool. Here's the label on that blue Relax Reisling bottle

 

[Revvy]

I have a ton of those bottles from my GF...They're the really huge ones, right?

I haven't used them yet.

The Blue Relax Reisling bottle is only 750ml, the jugs are 1/2 gallon

Great graphic! That's a fun professional looking icon/logo/label. If you're going to enter it in BYO competition I'd be sure to add text at the bottom, calling it Apfelwein, etc. I'm just thinking that as good of a design as it is, it's incomplete as a label and they'll probably count off big for that.

 

[Thwizzit]

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad you like it I actually did send it in to the BYO Label Contest but more for the fun of seeing it printed in the magazine than to try and win a prize. I figured since I did the label and it was free to enter, why not send it in.

I agree that probably not having all that extra text on it will be viewed as incomplete for contest purposes but it wasn't created for a contest, I sent it in as an afterthought. I like it's simplicity and it was created for personal use so I don't feel the need to explain to myself what's in the bottle and how it should be served and I can just tell the people I share it with.

In the future I may add some design element to incorporate some extra info but for now I'll keep it simple. Besides, I'm not sure what I'd say... Thanks again

I know what you mean, I've made a couple labels. I'd love to make them more professional looking, add some text etc. But I have no idea what to say either!

Oh and great label. I like simple.

Any chance of posting a higher res version of this?
It's a great design, very (I hate to use the word) creative illustration.

Cool little site, hmm, they can make all sorts of stuff for my downstairs pub

But yeah a High Res version of this picture would be great for making new stickers

How big do you want it? I have vectorized it.

 

[bendavanza]

umm... somwhere around 1000 pixels would make good sized labels
