Hello.

Anyone have suggestions for making labels? I'm thinking of software that
might be suitable for designing and printing your own label? I have a
chokecherry from last year and now have apple and a rhubarb on the go. It
would be nice to have something a little more presentable than masking tape!

Thanks.

I use microsoft works with win 98, I know it's old software but you can
do nice lables with it. If ya had a real e-mail address, I'd send ya a
sample.

Can't e-mail you either. Your address is fake too. ;-)

I use Avery Labelmaker, which lets you do a nice job and has the various
Avery label sizes & shapes preconfigured for printing. I print a "six to a
page" size onto plain parchment paper, cut them on a paper board and adhere
them with a common glue stick. My inkjet printer's ink doesn't run if the
label gets wet, but some do, and people will give those a quick spray of
clear lacquer. Label removal is a snap, though the really soluble glue
sticks don't hold well if you immerse a bottle.

I used PhotoImpact (any photo program will do it). I added
text and a nice picture and it looks great. Be sure to use a
waterbase glue stick to affix the labels. Usinf Avery or
other preglued labels will mean a lot of work ghetting the
labels off later on.

I use Avery 8254 (3 1/3 X4") white labels from Staples and design and print
them in Microsoft Publisher.

How about removal at a later date? Is the glue tough to deal with?

I just use MSWord with a table set for six labels per page. If you own Word
you can download loads of free clipart from dgl.microsoft.com. I find this
really good (for my low artistic abilities). If you would like a copy of my
template I can email it to you.

Hi folks - I just use simple Avery Labels and Microsoft Word to create
labels - nothing fancy as I like the wine to speak for itself!!!!

There is a software program specifically for making wine labels. You can
download a trial version or buy it at
http://www.winelabelforyou.com/ I have not tried it, but it looks pretty
good

Thanks.

Looks good but it's big. 24 mb. Probably because of graphics. I will
check it out. I tried Google but didn't find this.

I use the paint program that comes with Microsoft Windows. I click on any
JPEG picture of my choice, which is usually one by Boris Vallejo, and using
the Text mode you can write directly on the photo itself. Save it with any
name of your choice for later recovery. I then open it with Microsoft Word
so I can get the height and width to my liking. I can ususally paste two
labels on the same page (8.5in x 11in)
Anyway, it works really well for me. There are label programs on the market
if you itching to spend your hard earned bucks. But first, try this, I
think you'll like it. Oh, if you don't want a picture on your label you can
just use Microsoft Word to type anything ya want.
Hope this helps. I can send you a couple of labels I've made to show you
what is possible if ya like.
