Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 This might help, once you have designed your label then have them photo-copied, that normally works. Also you can apply a thin coat of decoupage modge-podge or varnish over them to make them even more waterproof. You cannot apply modge-podge or varnish over ink jet printer labels as it will smudge. Here, having them photo-copied works out the cheapest route, just remember you pay per sheet so do try and get as many as possible on one sheet of paper, and look into the difference in price of A4 and A5 copies > Nature > > I have been making my own labels and I love the design the problem is they > are not water proof as they are done on my ink printer.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Labels I have been making my own labels and I love the design the problem is they are not water proof as they are done on my ink printer. -------------------------- Perhaps you should look into some of the waterproof ink cartridges, or even a laser printer. You can get a basic black and white laser printer for about $500, I have a HP laserjet 1200 at work and it works great. Color Laser printers are more expensive, though.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 There is also a waterproof label (sticky) paper that turns your ink waterproof. It's from Ripped Sheets.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi a, What types of labels are you using, besides gold, are they waterproof? Are they for an ink jet printer or a laser printer? Also, what type of printer are you using ink jet or laser? There are so many different types of labels and printers; I now use only laser and waterproof labels. Before I got my laser printer I had to spray all my labels with a clear sealant spray. It worked ok but it is a messy job and not always waterproof, especially in a steamy and water environment. Labeling is so vital to a business. There are very strict rules about labeling for B & B products, making sure you are in compliance is a big key to being successful; so many people do read labels and if it is not clear or detailed you could lose a sale. Personally I have not had much luck with the gold foil labels. The ink, even on a laser printer has problems, especially with clarity and with small print. Anyway you can find the clear sealant spray at almost any hardware store. Just make sure you wear a mask when spraying the fumes are really bad for your lungs. Also you may need to do a few coats, make them very light, dry in-between and then apply again. Be aware that the sprays come in glossy or matte finish so it will affect the gold labels too.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi a, I have used Gold Foil Labels in the past without any success on making them waterproof. I tried the new ink cartridges, I tried spraying them with clear laquer, I tried everything known to the B & B world without success. I finally had to give up on them and move on to white and clear waterproof labels. I use the Gold Foil Labels on my NON-Bath and Body products without any running or bleeding problems. Hope that helps! > > Hello To All > I'm getting ready to start my bb business and I need some help with my > labels.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have an inkjet printer. What I do to prevent them from running is I use clear spray paint and put a coat on each page. I learned this trick from another forum. Great tip and it works super. It take a tad of extra time but it is worth it. Be sure to do it in a well vented area. I even lay them all down on a clean piece of cardboard. > > unless you have a laser printer they will run - > tho I just read on another list that epson has an > inkjet that now has > ink that won't run.... > HTH > Willow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The clear spray paint is a good idea. I have found the labels from onlinelabels.com to be very effective, as well. They have " weatherproof " labels for inkjet printers that are made of a type of vinyl. I really like them--they just zip through the printer, and are ready to go.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I created a template using InDesign. I make the logo and the basic info all the same and leave room for ingredients to change and the product info to change. I then print it on my label machine, one at a time, so there's no placement issue or the chance of running the sheet thru multiple times and having a label come off on a roller. Most labels cost between $0.10 and $0.18 with that being full color label on glossy water resistant stock. There have been a few labels as low as $0.03 because they're text only or because the labels are small. If you're printing out 25 or so labels, $1.17 (which includes postage) is not a lot for 25 bottles or bars of soap to spend to look professional.
