Any recommendations for small scale online bottle label orders?
 
I know I've seen GrogTag on here before. I personally have not used them but have a buddy who did and he was happy with them.
 
I've checked about once every year out of curiosity to buy really nice labels. I spent a lot of time on the beer labelizer website and made some awesome ones. In the end, I never ordered. They're not unaffordable for a special event or something. To label as many bottles as I'd need though, it adds up fast. ot was just one more nicety that I didnt have to have.

What has given me the most interest is a gray tone laser printer. That can spit out a ton of labels for cheap, and stick them on with the milk method. Still havent done it, but it's probably first on my list for homebrew.

Keep your eye on Craigslist, or whatever your local equivalent is. I've got a nice color laser I picked up for under $100.

You know you can download and print paper labels from that site as well, right? Only a few are free to download, but the membership to get the rest is pretty cheap ($1/month or $8 lifetime). Even without your own printer, it's only 9 sheets of paper for a 54 bottle (5 gallon) batch, so getting them printed somewhere locally shouldn't be very much.
 
Check out Bottlemark.com . These guys are great. I have ordered custom bottle caps from them, which turned out awesome. They sell labels, though I have not tried this yet. Good luck & Cheers! J

i like that Bottlemark's labels are intended to be easily removable for reuse, but it's too bad they don't have design tools to build the label on the site

Yes, you will have to design the label yourself, & then upload the file to the site. You will need to explore some design programs.
I personally use Corel Draw, this program is not free. The free programs I found are, Gravit, Inkscape, Krita, Pixlr & Gimp. I have no experience with these, but maybe some others with experience on these can provide some more insight. Good Luck & Cheers!
