Custom Black Label


JeremyM

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of developing a luxury line of candles to go along with my traditional candle line. I know I am going with matte black and rose gold containers, and I would like to create matte black labels with gold lettering. I make my own labels for my other candles, but this is something I will need to get custom made. I've searched online, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. Can anyone recommend a site that can make labels like the one shown in the picture. (I won't be doing anything embossed.)

Hi Jeremy, 

 

Very nice looking, I too have made my own labels for years and am ready to have someone else do it.  I love the B&BW style and how the letters/graphics are almost 3D.  I have been reading that you like the VCC from Lab&Co so I think a coconut wax line would fit this style perfectly for you.  Will be following this as I have only came across places like Vistaprint and Zazzle, both in which do not have anything much more fancy than what I can do myself.

Not to mention they're very expensive! I've been reading up on how to use Photoshop to make text look like gold foil. If all else fails, I may end up trying to print these black labels myself. I'm not sure how the black will turn out on an ink printer though.

Nice idea, that's a beautiful example.

I can help with the Photoshop if you need. I've been a graphic designer for over 15 years. 

On the printing yourself, have you thought about clear sheets like these?

Ooh, I haven't thought about the matte clear labels. I get all of my other labels from onlinelabels.com and just requested some free samples to test out my new designs. I ordered the matte white and glossy white labels, but I think I'll get a few of these samples as well. Thanks for the suggestion!

You can definitely do a label like that and in matte on Zazzle without a doubt.   And also can do in a color that looks like gold foil for fonts.   I do it all the time.

If you need help, let me know.

Hi Laura!

Thankyou!   I had a good day today and feel stronger, so much in fact that I carried up a load of wood in my arms for heat in the fireplace.  I was only able to do 1 little stick before because the chemo just drains me so bad....but today was a good day,just  took my happy pill for pain and actually am enjoying a nice fire behind me in my chair.  Actually haven't been out of my nightgown in 4 days, no makeup on....just bleh....lolHere are a few pictures saying hello to everyone.

Hi Trapp!

It's s good to see you :)   You carried up a load of firewood??  I'm not even sure I can do that!   You are one tough lady. We are all rooting for you!

Yep, a little load.   Been doing it for 30 years in the cabin as I don't have a heating system in my home.   Boy it would be awesome to just walk over to a wall and flip a switch and have heat or air....sigh..oh well....
