How many of you create your own labels for your spray bottles so they match? Post a photo of your spray bottles and custom labels! I'm looking for design ideas.

I like products from a few different company's but I want my spray bottles to match. I would buy the Megs pre-labeled bottles, but I just don't like the look of them. Plus, I would be left with a few products that are not part of the Meg Detailer line which would need labels anyway.

For products where you have multiple bottles with different dilution rations (APC, degreaser, etc.), how are you marking them differently?

Thanks!
 
What kind of bottles are you going with? Pix?

I don't have any advice as far as making labels. The only oddball spray bottle I have is this 1. No label, just permanent marker.

The bottles are arriving Thursday. I'll post pic's once they get here, but they are just plain bottles with the chemical resistant sprayer. I wanted something generic and clean.

I have a few ideas for the labels in my head now. I'll post a few photo's once I get them in digital format.
 
I have made a few labels for my own line of products I hope to sell locally, but most of my stuff I either just write it on the bottle or toss a label on the sprayer via label maker.
 
I've used some Avery 22822 labels and found a font close to the original font. You will need to use another label to cover it up as they don't seem to hold up to water and friction well with either a laser or inkjet printer.
 
I use printed labels from my small Brother printer for a lot of things, but for durability on the larger bottles used regularly, vinyl self-adhesive letters from the local office supply store hold up much longer. Some of these examples in the pic have been on for 6-8 years.

Subbed for ideas. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else does as I'm getting all new bottles with product transition and want everything to be clean and cohesive.

That is a good idea. The vinyl would definitely hold up better than a normal paper printer label.

I will probably try to the printed labels to start for now, just to see how they look, but if they don't hold up well I might borrow your idea!

If the bottle the product came in has a label stuck on it...

Empty the contents into a new bottle

Fill the bottle with the label on it with water

Microwave without the lid on it, until hot

Carefully peel the label off

Usually the adhesive will stick to the label and not the bottle

Stick the label on the new bottle
 
So I started playing with some designs for labels. I wanted something that was clean, but had all of the information on the bottle (dilution ratio, Product Name, General Name). This is what I have so far. Probably will end up tweaking the design again before I print them off.

The design is for one of the following avery labels: 6462, 6464, 6499, 16464 (This is for my own knowledge in the future)

This is awesome, I'd love for you to send me the file.
 
It's a photoshop file and I haven't tested how it lines up when printed, but sending a PM now.

Seriously, that's an awesome little bit of info to file in the back of my head. I HATE when adhesive gets left on stuff.

That's a really cool idea, :dblthumb2: so I'm guessing once you have a design down, you'd just print off onto clear laminated paper or something? How do you plan to adhere the labels to the bottles so that they hold up over time?
 
I like this idea as well. Probably gonna play with adobe illustrator and see what I come up with

I put clear box tape over my labels. Works well for me
 
I'll have to adjust my template to match the labels I picked up, but I ended up getting Avery's Self Laminating Labels (00752 is the product ID). Going to give these a try to see if they hold up better than normal printed paper labels.

I'll re-post the designs once I get the new template created.
 
So I've updated the template using the same general design as before.

I think I am going to add more to the label such as what it's safe on. I've had a friend pick up a bottle of wheel acid (back when I used that) thinking it was safe on paint. Luckily I realized what he was using and we hosed the car off. If I'm not around and someone wants to use some of the products, I want them to be able to make "educated decisions".
