in avery design pro

HI Stacey,

I usually print my labels just on either normal plain paper or a light

metallic look paper, but do use a label maker design program. I then

usually cover the whole page with contact plastic adhesive, the type

we use to cover school books etc, this gives it a clear water

resistant top cover, & then to get the adhesive on the back I use a

xyron label adhesive 150 machine, seems to work ok for me. hope this

hehelps.

I print my own on my laserjet printer and use full-sheet labels, then

just cut them out. I have different size labels so this works best for

me instead of trying to format the sheet to fit stock peel-off labels.

On plastic bags I just slap them on. On my bottles, I put them on and

then Mod-Podge over them to give them a glossy look.

Hello,

Where does one get vinyl waterproof labels? And are there other ways to make

labels waterproof?

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Lucinda,

The 150 xyron " create a sticker " usually takes a refill cartridge

of about 20 ft in length. You can get bigger ones that will do

other shapes as well. If you had a look at ebay , just under the

heading of xyron, there is usually some for sale. You may be able

to pick up a good deal. I find that with the 150 I can run a number

of labels off at once, then can store them till needed, as there is

like a peel of plastic coating on the top, somehow the xyron makes

the back adhesive, only when you peel off the top plastic. so what

i do is print off my design to a full page, cover with adhesive

contact plastic, cut them to size, then run through the xyron. Does

this make sense?

do a google search for vinyl or waterproof labels, you will get a ton of

stuff, I don't wanna post any links here..

like others mentioned you can use that mod podge paste, or clear coat spray..

the clear coat spray works fine enough for me..I spray before I apply them to

bottles .

Hi Kim,

Yes, it will stick to just about any surface, but I have found with

my shower gel boston bottles that you will need to make sure that

the surface is really clean, I usually just wipe down the bottle

with a small bit of alcohol, the same stuff you use when getting rid

of air bubbles in your melt & pour, or when layering, then just

stick on the label. I have had so many friends say to me how

professional they look, and are amazed when I say how I do them. It

is quite easy and not as expensive as going the whole graphic design

way when you are just starting out, as I am, and if you want to

change anything it doesnt cost the world. It's been a very

interesting road of research & development. lol.

Cheers,
