Using the design on the PDF files shared by @Huot25 (thanks a lot, by the way!), I drew some labels on Inkscape and basically enhanced the product name by adding logos.
Here's one of my (cheap-ish dollar store) bottles with its current label (if you can call it that) besides the printed sheet of labels:
![]()
I don't have a printer, so my idea to test these labels was to just print the sheet of labels on a regular letter-sized paper, not on some label-specific paper like Avery's or one of the alternatives. I went to Staples and had the sheet above printed -- got 3 copies, in case I messed up, so I could retry. Since it's not an adhesive label, I decided to simply use a wide (3in) clear tape to hold it in place.
Here is the first label done, although it didn't look very nice on top of the green stuff of the bottle:
![]()
And here's the final result:
![]()
I am guessing it won't hold up that well, since it was not an adhesive paper, but the experience was interesting anyway. Somehow I remembered myself as having better scissors cutting skills, but it was still a feasible task to tackle, and it sure does look a lot better than what I had before.
Once I upgrade my bottles I will redo the labels using proper adhesive paper and at that point I will also have a better idea on how well the clear tape works for me.
Either way, thanks everybody in this thread for the great ideas!
Sergio
More fun with labels.
