wine lables

Here in the States an Avery brand 5163 is just about perfect for wine labels. It's a packing label.

Avery is particle gummed adhesive paper isnt it? My days of old as a printer seems to recollect that.

I just use four-up on an 8.5" x 11" sheet and use Publisher to make the labels. I apply them to the bottle with a glue stick which makes it VERY easy to remove from the bottle.

Avery 6464 labels are "removable". They came recommended to me and that's what I've used.

Depends on what you want as far as quality goes. Basics start with photocopy paper through a laser printer with scissors and glue. If you're looking to do your 'Reserve Private Bin Chateau Rothschild Plonk' batch then light weight glossy photo paper through a photo-quality inkjet with waterproof inks would be more fitting. In between there are the various avery type sticky labels. Go for flat sided bottles as curved and tapered bottles are a b*tch.

I suggest you check out our wine label section.

Thanks but I don't really want to order from abroad - especially as its just for wine labels ffs.

Cheers Mikey, I reckon that Avery particle gummed (or any particle gummed) would be ok but I've still to hunt around on the net for some. The irony is that as a printer who worked in a large company with literally pallets of all papers lieing around, none of my old contacts in the trade work for any other companies that stock it. Photo paper is out because I refuse to spend £30 on inkjet cartridges for my colour epson printer - although I'd be happy using my mono laser if I had a decent artwork blank.

McKevvy

But what kind/weight of paper and glue?

I take them to Staples and have them printed on their color laser printer. The laser ink doesn't run.
