A client needs to get some wine labels printed, about 1,000 labels. As far as commercial printers are concerned this is a very short run. How do you all handle label printing so that you can have a good quality label at a reasonable cost?

Short and sweet is all well and good, but ... that's just not enough info. ;-) Care to elaborate?

Thanks, Steve. I had a look and it's interesting, but the client wants to use their own design. They also would prefer gummed rather than "crack-and-peel" labels, so I have a feeling that home printing may not be an option. I was hoping there might be some "quick print" operations that specialize in wine and other bottling labels.

I had a local printer make me up a large lot... ,,, front labels are Generic... our falily crest... and our family name " ******** Wines" the back label... a bit of family history (genealogy) and where the wine was made .... then a form to fill out at the bottom... ether by pen or on the printer for a short run.. (48 bottles) Batch number........ colour........ fruit........ dry.. med.. sweet... bottled date........
I had the local printer make 10,000 of each... It will last me for years.

Good thoughts, Marv - thanks!

1000 labels is a very short run, if the printer is doing the graphics you are talking a lot of money for a few labels.
If the graphics are done, maybe go to a copy center.
I use Avery 5164 packing labels; paper and ink are probably $0.10 per label. A box contains 600 labels.
