candles4ever Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have an idea in my head on what I want for a new label but it's going to cost a lot to get them printed so I was thinking maybe I could try and make them myself.I'm having problems trying to do it with my microsoft..

ckelley116 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I use adobe Illustrator. Its pricey though, but you can do everything with it.Same here, and the results were much better than they were with the other programs I tried! And I use Adobe InDesign for the template.

Scented Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I use Print Shop ... need to download Avery again though and I still want more choices or a program that will give me more choices. I should look into what Online Labels offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Another Avery Design Pro user here. I like it because its free and makes great labels. Get a lot of compliments on my labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREWSMOM Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Candybee, do you have a picture of your label? I too use the Avery and I can't seem to get it to look professional enough. I have a 4 ounce cosmo oval green bottle with the white 5163 size label. I cut the rounded corners off and put in on lengthwise, and then another ingredient label on the back. What bottle/size label do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturallyTru Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Candybee what type printer do you use? I have not had good luck with printers printing the quality I want. I have only used inkjet though. My colors always look washed out. I tried purchasing printed labels from a company and they look nice enough; but not what I really envision for my "look". The company prints low volume labels; but are very limited in their size and design. I'd really love to change to something better. Thinking of hiring someone to design the basic designs that I can change the scent name on and print myself. Trudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 When I bought my computer from Dell I just purchased a photo all in one printer from them too. Its a Dells series 924 Photo all in one color inkjet printer. Not a fancy one either. As I mentioned earlier I just downloaded the Avery DesignPro program off the Avery website. Its a free program and easy to use so that was a good deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREWSMOM Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 WOW, those look really nice. I was working on my lotion label.Do you just download the clip art yourself off a website and type in the info next to it then?It seems like you use a different picture per scent of lotion to go with that theme?

Candybee Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I do a lot of the photography myself. I don't download photos from websites. I do use stock photos or royalty free photos but always alter them so they aren't the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifichik Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I use the free Avery software, too.Those are really nice candles and labels in the example photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I use Avery Wizard (free download add on for MS Word) for simple labels like warning labels or ingredient labels that I am not putting a border and MS Publisher for the rest of my labels. Both are super easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
