I looked into the same thing, but caved and bought label to hand write them.
I looked at getting them made for me, but it worked out so expensive I didn't bother.
If you use microsoft word or another similar software like libre office (which is free, and very good) You could make a 6 cell table, and with a little experimentation, you would be able to make it work. If you want I could make a template for you to get you started.

I use 8 per page (A4) labels. With MS Word, I just used the the software to split the page into two columns of four. Then use the shape option to put a rectangle in each section and print on to normal A4. You can then just adjust the height and width till it about matches your labels and print again using a sheet of labels. Then you just tweak so it fits.

It takes a little patience the first time but once you have a master document set up it's breeze to create new labels using Word Art and clip art.

fair play if you can be arsed :thumb:

I buy a roll of white sticky labels from Rymans, and hand write them. Nice clean de-labelled bottles, novatwist caps, and I've had great feedback on the ones Ive given away.

I only rarely use labels because they're a pain but when I do, they're just printed in columns cut out with scissors and stuck on with milk.
Unlike glues, labels stuck on with milk come straight off in the washing bowel and don't leave messy residue on bottles.

Do they not smell funny after a bit or soak through and make the ink fuzzy?
Hope this works as it would be great!

Borrow sharpie pen from work/kids/anywhere. ..initial bottle caps. .eg. pa=pale ale,write it up in your brew notes.

I "cheat". I use MS Publisher 2016, print on A4 (2 or 3 per sheet) then wrap around the bottle and put a bit of tape on to form a tight loop. The plus side is, when I want to remove the label I just rip it off.

I don't use labels but, if I do want to give any bottles away, I use a fluorescent chalk pen (you can buy them from Rymans etc). These are highlighter pens but will write on glass and will wash off easily.

I use the labeliser website to do 6 per A4 sheet and stick them on with a few dabs of pritstick. Comes off very easily and leaves no residue
