FAQ: Applying your labels

Q. What can I apply my labels to?
A. You can use your labels to personalize bottles, jars, boxes and bags. Your labels will stick to metal, glass, plastic, wood, paper, wax, and fabric. Labels can be removed from glass, metal, and wax, but they cannot be removed from paper, wood, or plastic. The label’s adhesive bond increases the longer it has been applied to the item. A label on glass or metal containers can be repositioned for up to several hours. If you need to remove a label after this time, just soak it in hot, soapy water, or use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. Once a label has been removed, it cannot be reused.

Q. How do I apply the labels?
A. In order to ensure the best possible adhesion, you should apply labels to a clean, oil-free, surface that is room temperature. If your container is cold for instance, the condensation may prevent labels from properly adhering. Dirt and oil can also prevent your labels from sticking to your items.

Q. Will my labels stay on?
A. The longer the label has been on your item, the stronger the adhesive bond becomes. If you plan to have beer or wine bottles rest in a tub of ice, we suggest applying your labels a week or more before your event, since newly applied labels may lift off slightly when held underwater for a long period. The labels are not designed to go through the dishwasher, or have prolonged exposure to water. If labeled containers are stored in a refrigerator, some wrinkling may also occur.

Q. How should I apply the labels so they look straight?
A. Set the item down on its side on a flat surface so you can look down at it. Peel the label off the carrier sheet. Hold the label at the top center and the bottom center edges, visually line it into position above the container, then carefully press onto the surface at those points. Rub it down carefully from the center out to the edges.

Q. What is the best way to remove commercial labels from beer or wine bottles so that I can replace them with my own personalized labels?
A. Most labels use a water-soluble adhesive. Soak the bottles in warm soapy water. You may need to soak overnight to get the label off completely.

Q. Which surfaces can I adhere my labels to?\
A. Your high quality labels will stick to glass, metal, plastic, wood, wax, cellophane, fabric, and paper. Use them to add your personal touch to bottles, jars, tins, bags, boxes and more. If you need to remove them after they have been on a while, soak them overnight in hot, soapy water, or heat them with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. With either of these methods you will not be able to re-use the labels.

Q. Are my labels waterproof?
A. They are water resistant. When wet, the paper remains strong and the inks do not run. If you plan to have beer or wine bottles rest in a tub of ice, we suggest applying your labels a week or more before your event, since newly applied labels may lift off slightly when held underwater for a long period. The longer the label has been on your item, the stronger the adhesive bond will become. The labels are not designed to go through the dishwasher, or have prolonged exposure to water. If labeled containers are stored in a refrigerator, some wrinkling may also occur.

Q. What will my tags look like?
A. Your custom designed hang tags and favor tags will be expertly printed on white polyester stock with a smooth finish for greater detail, more vibrant color, and a luxuriant feel. We use state of the art 4 color high-resolution presses, and print with waterproof inks for a smudge proof finish. Your tags will be individually cut and ready for you to punch out. Each sheet contains 8 to 36 tags, depending on the tag size and shape. Each tag comes with a 5/32-inch pre-punched hole.  Tags come with a white back, and do not fold.

Q. How much can I print on my tags?
A. There is no limit to the amount of text that we can print on your tags, but keep in mind that a lot of text on a small tag may be difficult to read. You may also want to consider the tag size and shape when choosing the artwork that you decide to print.
