Re: Product Labeling

[Guest guest]

reference a website where the consumer can view the ingredients?

I put small items in a zip-lock bag sized to a bit larger than the product,

and put a name and ingredient label on the zip lock, or put it a nice

drawstring bag and tie a tag on it with the ingredients.

Just an idea..but have you tried " onserts " ? I noticed that on small

tinnie winnie lip balm jars companies like the Body Shop have a sort

of onsert of the list of ingredients.

Kind of like a concealed triple fold out ingredients list that looks

like /\/\/\ then it folds back in. I tested it on my tinnie winnie

lip balm jar and gave it to one of my testers.

Plus it gives you a chance to flog another product at the same time.

Oh my, I do hope that made sense :-)

Hi Pam,

And a big thank you for your help! I need a wee bit more clarification, on a

couple of things, if you would:

>What program are using to design your labels? With Avery Design Pro, you

can enter a smaller size than 8 directly, rather than using the drop down menu

that only goes down to 8pt. I use 7 pt and sometimes 6 pt when pressed for

space.<

I have Avery Design pro, the free edition. Where do I enter the smaller font

size?

I would like to use faceted rollettes for my perfumed oils, but getting a

label on a non-smooth surface is impossible! Any ideas?

>You could place the container in a clear cello bag, and attach the label to

the back of the bag. Or, print the label out on a business card, then punch

two small holes in the card, then secure the container to the card using a

twist tie (punch a couple of small holes in the card)<

Are you saying secure the container, meaning the rollette bottle? Wrapping it

around the bottle, and putting a twist tie to hold it in place?

Once the customer buys the product, the label can be removed, such as hang

tags. Is this right? It reminds me of the labels they put on mattresses etc.

that say " do not remove under penalty of law " ....I was always afraid to rip them

off, even after I owned the item for many years! LOL

I purchased v4.0 a year or two ago, and probably use it more than any other

program. You can change the font size in the tool bar, (just below the menu

bar, in the center at the top), or just go through the format menu. First,

select the text in the label that you want to change, go to the *Format*

menu, choose *Character*. Then manually enter the size font that you want

(don't uses the drop down arrow, as it only goes down to 8) using your

keyboard. Not sure I'm making this clear, LOL. email me off the list and

maybe we can work this out

This is hard to explain (for me, LOL) What I had in mind was to leave the

biz card flat, then just lay the bottle down on it, attaching it to the card

using a twist tie, just below the cap. Pass one twist tie through one

hole, then take the other end over the bottle, and down through the other

hole. The holes should be about 1/4 to 1/2 " appart, located about 3/4 "

down from one of the short ends of the card). Then just tie the ends of

the twist ties together behind the

Something like this. .....

You could either print labels directly on Avery biz card paper, or you could

just use an attractive card stock, or heavy stationary (cut to size) and

just stick a printer label on the back of the card. Hope this makes sense.

Yes, they only need to be securely attached, not permanently attached.

<grin> I think all of my bed pillows still have the warning labels attached.

HTH,
