Labels for 2 oz. Boston round bottle for Närä Cleansing Powder - Label Ideas
by Tom Cornwell
I wanted to switch containers from a 2 oz. oval to a 2 oz. Boston round for an easier shipping fit and eventual machine application. Multiple flavors required identifiable 4-color artwork to represent seven different products. I needed a water-resistant label which would comfortably fit the container dimensions and you folks had the item I needed (OL800LP). I am using Online Labels' materials for nearly twenty different products, as well as USPS Click N Ship addressing.
For best color matching, playing around with the printer settings is important. A 24lb. 'test sheet' can vary dramatically from a coated material. An obvious choice, for example, might be to set the printer for 'Glossy Label' stock, but I will get a much better match selecting 'Rough Paper' in this case. Learning the printer helps a great deal and toner can vary color-color, but you can achieve what you want and the results can be amazing if you are a little more persistent.<br/><br/>Hand application can be difficult at first, however, I line up the end of the label with the bottle seam and have no problem with that. Practice, of course, makes perfect.<br/><br/>Best to leave a supply of label stock, label samples for color match and position, as well as a flash drive with your files in PDF format at a trusted print shop with higher-end color laser equipment. One phone call can save a lot of time when your printer is down.
