Label Making Software

[cwiseman77]

Does anyone know of any good (free) label designing software. I am currently just printing address labels with simple text but would like to do something a bit more creative. I am no computer or tech wiz so looking for something relatively straightforward.

Thanks in advance

I've used beerlabalizer in the past, which is pretty straight forward. :thumb:

Look a couple of pages down I posted a link to the Cooper's website which has the easiest ever label generator. Sorry I can't re-post due to my 'new' status marking the link as SPAM!

That's a really good, easy to use format, cheers. How did u get on with printing them? Did you use self-adhesive printer labels or just paper and stick them on?

I used to work in commercial label design so I design mine myself using Gimp, free photoshop type program (http://www.gimp.org/)

Then I print them onto these blank labels on my colour inkjet printer - £10 for 320 labels!

Coming up with names and designing the labels is almost as much fun as brewing the beer! It certainly finishes everything off well!

Usually ask Mrs Slate Miner (very nicely) to print them of at her office onto decent quality photocopying paper :nono: :rofl:

Brush the back with milk & stick 'em on. :thumb:

I did have a look at gimp after fawning jealously over your labels. Looks a little bit complicated for a layman like me :sulk:

I heard about the milk thing, that work pretty good? Just brush with a little milk and stick? I might do that. Just cut them out and stick? Do they come off quite easy

I'd be happy to design you a template for free :thumb: then you could put your own brew name on it in M$ Word or similar! PM me if you want! :

Actually I can design labels for anyone! Time might be an issue depending on uptake but if you bear with me I will do what I can!! :thumb:

The printing template (for use with these stickers) is in M$ Word so I can supply a label template onto which you can insert your own text! Trust me this bit is easy!! :)

Interested peeps PM me! :

other alternative is this

http://www.avery.co.uk/avery/en_gb/Temp ... e/?Ns=Rank

its free to download and install on pc and so long as you have MS Office / Word it works fine, I use this label, L7165

you can even do it online and not bother to download

Or you could always take up GuitarJImBs offer- thats a great offer and not to be ignored :thumb: - Breweries pay a fortune for a graphic designer to do their labels

Neato do templates to use in Word. http://www.neato.com/TemplatesBeerWine.aspx

I use Publisher for mine. I know, it's not free... but there are alternatives :)

How about this http://labeley.com/ Never used it myself, I don't bother with labels. I just put the initials of the brew on the cap with a permamnent marker.

You have me curious about Gimp, so I'm downloading it.

In the past I've just used a combination of google images, dafont.com, MS Paint and PhotoScape to make these:

I just print on normal printing paper and slap it on the bottle with a glue stick. It looks just fine to me.

 

[GuitarJImB]

I like the look of those!! :clap:

Yea, but there is a lot of thievery going on here. They're mostly just cool pictures I've found on google. I apply some color effects and filters and the text and that's about it.

I suppose that I made the dog one and that Jubilee one from the ground up, but I still based the latter on this label from the 40s.
