Where and how to make labels?

by Tomas A » Tue Mar 04, 2008 1:39 pm

I am looking to find a place to produce my own wine bottle labels; a printer or similar which could also help out with the graphical design (making my sketches printable, basically)
Also, if someone has an idea of what I need to calculate with in regards to money per label, naturally VERY dependent on amount of prints in a series?

Are you talking commercial quality? Sounds like you are. For homemade bottles, I have printed them up at home and applied via glue stick. However, in the past few years, we have ordered numerous post cards with custom images as mailers for art shows. I may be able to get you a ball park figure for commercial quality on the printing only. Not sure how to account for cleaning up images.

You're right, I'm actually looking at trying to sell some of the bottles buy having a local Enoteca have them on display. Hence the kind of commerical approach to it, which you noticed. My other posting was about the laws surrounding doing that in Italy. First of all though, I am just trying my idea out on a hobby basis to see the what the results would look like. Curiosity killed the cat, but actually, it's not really wine but a "bi-product" (I know very well I wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in h-ll trying to sell wine to Italians...) I am pursuing. Same bottle though, which is why I'll need the prints. I am thinking roughly 100 bottles/prints for a first try and next year more (should it go well). However, I am working on a label design which would make it easy to transfer the same label year over year, making larger print runs possible already now and later, naturally
