This Rocks

You should add a link for people to donate via paypal. I can see myself using this application and would like to opportunity to thank you for your work

This is wicked cool, especially for those of us that are on the unartistic side.

this is going on my next batch of hefeweizen

 

[Homercidal]

This is pretty awesome! I can see this expanding with more variables and options. Among some things I would like to see:

More colors for backgrounds and text
More fonts
Option to place custom graphic in specific spots (don't know how hard this would be)

But it's already a kickass app.

Donation made.

Awesome product. Nice job!

 

[bonzombiekitty]

Awesome job.

Some suggestions:

1. A free text back label.
2. Another label section for the beer name. It'd be nice if you could have the "brewery" name, the name of the beer, and then the style that beer is. So I could have something like
Foo Brewing
Zendo Imperial
Russian Imperial Stout

I know the other labels can kinda be used for the extra info, but it'd be nice if those three bits of info were integrated into the main part of the label.

awesome

thats pretty impressive, good work

awesome

Hey great to see the labels actually in use. Here is my own example.

 

[bigolbigbelly]

This is fantastic - I second the sticky on this

I have noticed that a lot of people are printing the rectangular labels. I also had a look through this forum and people are designing a lot of modern looking labels. So I introduce my latest label for the beer labelizer, its a wood grain background with angled stencil writing. I hope you guys like it.

Just tossing this idea out there, would it be possible to share the source code/ format (or whatEver it's called). This way people could develop there own label and then send the code to you, you could review and upload the good ones.

Could be a really good way to build your library.

I don't know if there are any problems with this idea, or if you would want to do it, but I'm throwing it out there.

At any rate. Awesome site

 

[HokieBrewer]

Loving the latest design!

I have noticed that a lot of people are printing the rectangular labels...

Cutting out non-rectangular shapes with scissors is a huge drag. I've done it once and never again. What I do now is print all the irregular shaped labels on a beer bottle colored, brown background. Then I just cut a rectangle shape and stick it on, brown background and all. If you get the background close enough to the bottle color it looks fine.

This is awesome. Thanks a ton.

Just another person to comment how great this is.

I have been hesitant about gluing labels on plastic bottles. After seeing these labels, I want to do it.

A small issue…
Why does the yellow border not show up in the label’s Jpeg, but is on the bottle?

awesome

Here is mine BTW: After I spent a little time fixing it. Also, it is a lot smaller size file than the original. Good enough for a label though.

Hmm this is unusual that you didn't get the yellow border. I tried exporting the jpeg on my own computer and it had the yellow border. I also tried printing and the yellow border showed up. I wonder if it is something to do with your computer. Let me know if other people have the same problem.

The site is awesome; thanks so much for creating it and sharing. Here are a few links to commercial beer labels that I like:

(don't like the brown background, but do like the blue/yellow and diamond shape)

I wouldn't expect you to copy any of those, but they may help with ideas.

I love this. With just a little work I made this.

you are awesome.

 

[Conodor]

I love this site/program you made. adding a upload for custom image would be the only add-on would love to see.

thanks, for the first time i've ever labled a bottle!

 

[greenbirds]

I've never labeled bottles, even those I give away, but this tool will change that. I will be sure to Paypal you some funds whenever I use this to label a batch of homebrew.

 

[Walker]

this is awesome!

 

[samc]

Made a friends BD gift with your labels. Awesome idea. In the past I would spend hours doing my own labels and never being happy with them. Thanks.

 

[Poobah58]

Brilliant!!!!!

Great start on a killer app. I would gladly pay to use this site once it's fleshed out a bit. Here's a few suggestions:

1. As others have offered, so I'd make a way for people to submit designs to you a high priority. Why do all of the work yourself?

2. The print function does not work on my machine, but it's a bit non-standard. Firefox 3.6.3 in Linux. Adobe Falsh 10.0.45.2. Unfortunately Adobe support for Flash in Linux is not the best. I'm just providing this info to you for testing purposes.

3. Save as JPEG: It would be cool (but perhaps bandwidth intensive for you) to output the tiled sheet. That would make it a lot easier to take it and get it printed.

4. Font choices would be really cool.

This has the potential to be one of the coolest and most useful home brew related sites. Awesome idea and implementation so far!

Very cool! Subscribed.

Hi Guys,

Sorry I haven't responded for the last week. I have been very busy at work, but I have some free time tomorrow so I plan to create a new label design. Re your feedback about users submitting designs, that would be great. If you have a design you really like and don't mind being used by others then feel free to email it to me or post it on this forum. I would love to have your creative inspiration to help me out with the tool. I can't guarantee that I will build them all, but I will certainly consider them. I've also noticed that a lot of you have asked for a label design that allows you to upload your own picture (jpeg) within the design. This is now top of my new features list. I will aim to add this ability as soon as possible as I realize it will give you all lot more creative scope with your labels. For instance I love the "Cowboy Dark" label at the top of this post with the cowboy and the cactus image. It would be great to see more variations like that. I think adding the ability for users to upload their own jpegs into the designs will really allow this to happen.
