Custom Gatorade Labels

ksu-college-and-career-ministry-event-1 John, one of our awesome customers, sent us this picture over the weekend from a college and ministry event he did over at Kennesaw State University.  He applied custom labels to bottles of Gatorade, stored them in a cooler full of ice, and then let the college students come to him!

ksu-college-and-career-ministry-event-2 The great thing about using custom labels for college fairs (or any kind of fair, really) is that even if you don’t have time to get your message across while someone is standing right there, when they take a bottle from you, they take your message with them!  If they happen to set their bottle down somewhere and someone else sees it, even better!

The thing we liked about John’s idea was that he applied the labels to bottle of Gatorade.  We’ve never seen that before!  This just proves what we’re always saying about our customers: You guys are way more creative than we are!

Keep sending us your photos and ideas, we love seeing ‘em!

Custom Wedding Labels

scallop_square Custom wedding labels are an easy, inexpensive way to add a custom, unifying theme to your wedding decorations.  They’re easy to design, delivered quickly, and fast to apply.

You can use custom wedding labels throughout your wedding.  A candy buffet is a fun, colorful way to thank your guests for coming to your wedding.  Why not supply them with custom wedding stickers to seal up their bags of candy?

Wedding invitations are beautiful on the inside, but you can make them beautiful on the outside as well by using custom labels to seal the envelopes.  Imagine how impressed your guests will be when they see the same monogram on their invitations all over your wedding!

Small takeout boxes are ideal for wedding favors.  You can fill them with anything you like!  By applying a custom wedding label to the outside of the favor boxes, you have an easy and custom way to add your stylish touch to your favors.  You can even write a brief thank you message on the labels so your guests know how much you appreciate them!

We have so many custom wedding label designs, including “Scalloped Square“, shown above.  Feel free to browse all our custom label design categories until you find the design that’s right for your wedding, or design one yourself!

A Bottle Your Brand Photo Shoot!

hank-staging Last Thursday, Erika (our resident content queen and writer of this here blog) and Cindy (our graphics genius and all-around creative mastermind) stuffed labels, bottles, and props into Cindy’s truck and brought them to the photography studio of Hank Drew.  Hank, arguably one of the best commercial photographers in Seattle, has a long history of making our products look fabulous, and so it was to him we turned when we needed new product shots.

erika-staging We spent all day with Hank, arranging, staging, and generally just having fun with our products.  When your products are creative and pretty, it’s really quite a lot of fun to take pictures of them!

hank-working-his-magic By the end of the day, we were all exhausted but we knew we’d gotten some excellent shots.  Cindy and Erika loaded all their things back into Cindy’s truck and left Hank to finish up the photos.

We can’t wait to share the finished photos with all of you.  Once you see how we’ve envisioned our products being used, we assure you that you will flip out.  Of course, the photos are just to give you an idea of how you can use them.  The best ideas remain your own, however, and as always we look forward to receiving pictures from our customers of how they put our products to use.

Retirement Party Ideas!

7-day-weekend-sticker Retirement parties are some of the most fun to plan.  You’re celebrating a lifetime of hard work, and some well-earned time off!

If you’re celebrating the retiree in your life, why not put the emphasis on the relaxation that’s in store for them?  You can find some inexpensive tiki torches at a party store, encourage everyone to show up wearing Hawaiian shirts, and use the “7 Day Weekend Sticker” to seal bags of retirement-themed favors.

Fun retirement party favors can include small bottles of sunscreen, golf tees, and candies.  Toss them all in clear cellophane bags, and seal them closed with these retirement party custom labels!  The beach and gently swaying palm trees set just the right tone for a retirement party!

Additionally, if you have a little retirement retreat tucked away in your favorite vacation spot, you can use these custom labels to add a personalized touch to the gift basket you leave for guests, welcoming them to your vacation home.  Use these labels on little bars of soap, or packets of local treats, and your guests will be absolutely blown away!
