How do you not go broke on ink?

 

[kristiismean]

lol, ink from China, 19 dollars for 4 black, and 2 of each colors (yellow, magenta, blue?)

most are black and white and printed from my laserjet

Updated label for this beer:

 

[bobeer]

I've posted my label before, but it evolves over time, and this is what I'm doing now. I just change the name, style, ABV and ingredients for each label. Since I brew 5 gallons twice a month, but don't drink that much, I give away many bottles, and like those who get them to have a little info.
I've since put my main brewery logo into glassware, and made a rubber stamp of it for stamping onto 4-pack carriers as well.

Great job. Really digging this!

How I label my kegerator.

 

[CavernHill]

Here's one I designed for a double Pilsner View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1490627120.568360.jpg

 

[kristiismean]

I love that one Cavernhill,

This was a test batch, so only 7 bottles. (I don't normally use plastic bottles, this was a first. 1 Liter bottles.)

This is the label we made for one of our beer That won a contest and as prize we brewed in a brewery

 

[Nomofett]

It's been a busy month. Each label has a quote, usually from a kids book because it uses art my mom (a kids artist) makes.

The Blue Owl... "She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by-And never knew.”

Rise... If you don't see the book you want to read on the shelf, write it"

Blue Stripe...(a red, but NEIPA style) "and all the colors I am inside, have not been invented yet"

The bear who was (names after a great cartoon)... believing takes practice

Captain Stormfield....Those who don't believe in magic will never find it

Dreamcatcher... I saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man. “It is futile,” I said, "You can never —”

“You lie,” he cried, And ran on.

Those are fantastic. Can you share a source of you paper? Are they sticky labels that are inkjet? Or resume type paper with spray tack or glue

 

[Nomofett]

Thanks! Yeah, inkjet. I use a paper called crapo (it's a Japanese company, that's where I live) but basically just a watercolor style paper. Then I give it a spray with varnish to waterproof it. I make the labels long enough to where the paper touches and then just tape the two ends together with a clear packing tape so no tape actually touches the bottle. Then when I'm finished with the bottle I just rip the label off. No sticky residue to clean up.

 

[RevKev]

I like that idea, I am going to start spraying the labels for waterproofing. I have so many bottles that I collect that I usually don't reuse. Typically only bottle when bringing it somewhere and I will look into paper like that. Texture makes it. Should have moved the gradient a bit on original but oh well

I retooled my original imperial stout labels as I have 3 gallons aging on rye soaked Hungarian Oak cubes and hopefully enough to do at least 2 × 12 oz bottles of the original to compare.

[morbster]

Finally got my first couple beers ready to bottle. Think this label is just about finished!

I welcome any feedback on the color/layout/fonts.

 

[morbster]

Switched it up a bit to look a bit more old school and adjusted some of the text.

Excellent! If I saw this in a store, I'd have to buy it just cause its so alluring

 

[Senormac]

Zepplins are so cool !! Blimps too

 

[SGTSparty]

Latest for my take on BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde recipe

Personally I dig the airplane more. It focused my eyes more on there name and then the plane, but that gave me more of a feeling of the days when flying meant something and people wrote suits. Like being in the sky and among the clouds was a classy placed to be, and more respected. Makes these beer seem more refined IMHO

 

[kristiismean]

this is getting kegged, so only have to print of a few for growlers and of course, 1 for the keg.

And next up my summer beer

Something I've been working on...

 

[jimdkc]

And next up my summer beer

I sense a theme here...

 

[Redlantern]

A friend let me use some of his original art and it inspired an IPA recipe that has yet to be born, but I have Beersmith open right now making it....

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Tastes like summer.

 

[morbster]

Bet those were a lot of fun to cut out!

 

[TenaCJed]

Bet those were a lot of fun to cut out!

I would have to agree on that one! Takes long enough with a straight edge cutter for doing square or rectangle!
