Custom labels for spray bottles

[expdetailing]

You could go to a sign shop who has special computer programs to create and design logos, heavy-duty vinyl, etc.

Haven't done this, but it's always been somewhere in the head floating around. One day I'll load on Photoshop and see what I can come up with. The OCD in me would love everything to be in matching bottles with custom matching labels. I love the CarPro bottles and sprayer so maybe I'll try and track down blanks for those. If I ever get a template I'm happy with I'll post the PSD file in here for people to play with.

I think custom labels that looked great would really make my business look more professional.

Thoughts or suggestions?

I put clear box tape over my labels. Works well for me

Me too!

Great stuff man - thanks for sharing your efforts on this. I've been using sharpies on the bottles directly because my labels using my cheap label maker eventually come off after a few weeks. I tried printing labels on regular Avery white blanks and covering with clear packing tape, but they also peel off after a short time.

I have a client who runs a sign business. Since I am only doing small runs, it would cost me more to do the setup than it would do have them printed. It's not a bad idea if you're planning on doing a large print run.

Plus I might change my mind next year (or next month) and want to try a different design.

If you're planning on doing something to label small sample bottles as gifts to clients, then I would definitely talk to a local sign business rather than doing it yourself.

I finally got the shipment of spray bottles in today. I was pleasantly surprised that the bottles already have measuring lines on the bottle itself. There are even ratio markings if you wanted to do 5:1 or 10:1 ratios (which I will be doing).

Now I just need to finalize my template. Once I have it done I will post the PSD for people to play with.

If I ever get the free time to put a website together, it would be nice to have a dedicated platform to share label designs.

I guess in a sense I am selfish because I am doing this for my own benefit and to have my bottles uniform. But if anyone wants to use it, I have no problems sharing the template.

Unfortunately I am only a hobby detailer so I won't be using the products every day, but I will post updates to show how these labels hold up. I specifically looked for weather resistant labels to see if they hold up better.

Me too!

I like that you have an image on your labels. Those are clean and they look good!

Huot - 24oz bottles?

I picked up some 16, 24, and 32. Love the 16. Not sure what to do with the rest. lol

You can see the numbers in one photo...you CHEATED!!! JK! I wanted something that would fit into that massive storage bin. I had a bunch of bottles leak a few years ago and they got all over my wife's stuff in the garage. It was almost ex-wife after that fiasco.

I wanted to print up the labels tonight, but thats not happening. Finally got the labels done though, but I am sure I am missing one or two.
