People make custom beer labels either when they make their own beer, or are advertising a new nightclub, bar, bar and grill, tavern, etc. You can find beer labels sold online, for around $2 to $25, depending on the types, styles and designs of labels that you are looking to purchase. You can find web sites to actually templates for your own beer bottle labels as well.
Sites that facilitate custom beer label creation:
Bottle Your Brand – this web site offers labels for sale that you can have your personal logo and beer brand printed on the label.
My Own Labels – another web site that offers to even put your own wording and picture on the beer labels.
Beer Label Builder – a web site that makes it easy to place your order with your own design online and have the labels shipped directly to you.
If you would prefer not to purchase your custom beer labels online, you can also visit local print shops and wineries, as well as search your local Yellow Pages, flyers and circulars to find companies or shops in your area that offer to make beer bottle labels for special occasions or private manufacturing.
There is also the option to print your own beer labels. Here are a few resources we’d recommend that may be useful in label creation:
- HopTech tells you how to make your own beer labels in a useful PDF.
- BeerMasters, a specialty beer blog, offers some advice
- eHow offers some useful advice on the art of designing your own labels for beer bottles
To make your own custom beer labels, you can go online and add your own text and picture to downloadable templates, make the labels your own, and print them yourself. If you need help on what designs or logos you would like to choose from, browse online to get ideas, or even take a trip to your local grocery store to find some inspiration by looking at other bottles out there to see what other makers do.
