pamperme Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Does anyone use amber bottles with white waterproof labels on them. I am having a hard time thinking this is going to look nice and I have to make a decision on which color bottle I am using quickly. I like the country look of the amber bottle with black lids but those darn white waterproof labels make me think it will look cheap. :undecidedIf anyone has a pick of theirs they would share I would appreciate it.

Guest PassionSunKiss Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I dunno if you are using a colored printer, but maybe you can try having a taupe or tan background that way it doesn't "pop" out as much as the white will. I've been using the Avery DesignPro 5 that you can download for free at avery.com. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 I use the Avery program(which I love!) but my colors are light green and burgundy. I want to use kraft labels and will for other things but I cant for the B&B that you would use in the shower. I am going to have to try a background but then it will totaly change the look of the labels and simplicity I am creating in my line. I was thinking of going with the white bottles but I had my heart set on the amber as everyone's always look so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Can you go with kraft colored labels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 They would not be waterproof...I am using those on my candles and also my room sprays becuase those do not come in contact with water. Powder would be ok and my soap boxes but I am needing one for the shower gel, lotion, shampoo, sugar scrubs that type of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I use an acrylic clear spray for my labels, I am not sure if this will work on the Kraft labels..I have some kraft labels here and I will spray a sheet and see if it makes them waterproof.

pamperme Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks Maggie!I was thining that the kraft paper would start coming apart easier than regular white matte labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Strapping tape over the label may work.I actually have to use strapping or packaging tape over my weatherproof labels because the scrub oils smears the inkjet ink.

pamperme Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I figured it out. I played around for 2 hours on one label to get it the way I wanted and printed it out to see what it would look like in Ink...lolI am using the white waterproof ones and the background is a sage green with black print. Since my colors are burgundy and green and my bottles are amber and black this will work out fine. I'm happy with it! One more thing to check off my mile long list.

pamperme Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thank you for letting me know about the spray though. I may give that a whirl on some other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
