I have developed a product, it's bottled, and I have made a few sales. I thought through almost everything except for labels... Well, I did think through label design, just not the production part which seems to be harder than I thought.
Does anybody have any recommendations/pointers for printing clear, waterproof labels myself? The labels will be used on an 8OZ bottle which can get very wet, so it's important that the label will withstand water and not bleed.
My first attempt was a failure. I bought clear labels at staples, printed them with an ink jet printer, then sprayed them with a special water resistant spray. It worked at first, but not under harsher conditions.
The reason why I want to print on my own is because all of these label sites seem to take forever to get printed when using a printer and I need to get labels printed within the next week.
For anybody who has experience with this... can I even use an ink jet printer for water resistant labels? One company has what I need, but they said that I can only use a laser printer.
Also, any recommendations for label printers and/or providers would be great.
And if I'm being really stupid by trying to do this all myself then please let me know... don't hold back.
Thanks!
