bottle labeling

[Dan Schultz]

This is a company in Evansville, Indiana that makes billions and billions of beer bottle labels. You might give them a shout.

Wonder what their minimum order is?

You could always go to the plastic squeeze bottle hot sauce, with printing right on the bottle:

That's some good hot sauce!

Yeah, it's really versatile--you can put it in soups, sauces, use it in barbeque--I really like the squeeze bottle.

OTOH, I have about a half-gallon left of a one-gallon jug of Tabasco that I purchased a little over 30 years ago--it's been kept in the refrigerator ever since. No longer bright red, but a nice brown with a great flavor. It's my "special stuff".

One. find a freelance graphic designer to work with you. Preferably one you can have face to face meetings with. (I know a good one , but she's in Mississippi )

Once you have the label designed then find a printer. Now volume matters. The more you do, the cheaper it is per label.

You could start with just color laser prints on plain paper. A little glue on the back to hold it on the bottle. When you're ready, then you can get a big run done at a pro house. The'll be thin, glossy and all the other stuff like the other labels in the stores.

But start simple. Spend you money on a good design. You'll use it for years. Probably only need 3-4 colors. Ink jet prints run with theleast bit of water, so I wouldn't use that. Color laser should be fine though. At least for the first 100-1000 bottles

Yikes, are you sure that's "safe" for "general" consumption?

Probably--it hasn't killed me yet. Makes a great silver polish too. I like fermented hot sauces. Tabasco is made by packing peppers in salt until they pretty much turn to goo, then adding vinegar.

There are some hot things that seem to be mostly heat without a lot of flavor:



I'd never dream of adding the stuff my Bloody Mary, but it might go well with a beef stir-fry.

This is the one that's closest to home:

It's not too bad--but has more Korean and Thai foods than anything else.

Didn't expect this much response.

For an actual food topic on TubeNet? Your kidding, right

I'm shocked it's still so short.

If anyone is interested in a sample let me know. Of course you won't get a label since it's not legit. You just need to let me know of what you think about the sauce.

contact info?
cost?
