A 30th Birthday Custom Label Extravaganza!

custom-labeled-bottles-in-ice-2 What do you get when one of the employees of Bottle Your Brand has a big birthday milestone to celebrate?  A custom label extravaganza, that’s what!

Erika, the reigning social media expert and content queen over at Bottle Your Brand headquarters, celebrated her husband’s 30th birthday last week using BBQ food, a giant cupcake, and five different kinds of custom labels.

custom-water-bottles-in-ice-2 Erika made sure to keep her guests hydrated and happy with custom water bottles.  The water bottle labels featured Yoda (from Star Wars) and Malcolm Reynolds (from Firefly), characters from two of her husband’s favorite shows.

She bought two cases of water from Costco, removed the original labels, and stuck the custom labels on in their place.  As you can see, the custom labels stayed perfectly on the bottles, even though the bottles were submerged in ice and water for hours.

No doubt about it, this 30th birthday party and its custom labels were a hit!  For more photos from this party, please check out our “Graduations and Celebrations” photo gallery.

Beer For a Good Cause

personalized-beer-label-coffeys-crew.jpg Summer is a great time of year to participate in fundraising walks for good causes.  We’ve participated as a company is a few different walks for causes that are near and dear to our hearts, and it’s always an uplifting experience.

If you’re raising money and participating in any walks/5 K’s/fun runs this year, you might want to consider providing some personalized refreshments to your team members.  After all, they’re by your side, helping you raise funds, why not thank them with something delicious?

The image above features the custom bottles of beer one of our customers made for a 5 K he did with some friends.  Their team was called “Coffey’s Crew” and they all enjoyed these bottles of beer after the run.  This is an inexpensive way to do something nice for your friends, and it’s also a lot of fun to enjoy a team brew together.

If you’re looking for ways to implement this idea for your own fundraiser, check these out:

  • Team swag bags, with a custom bottle of water (you can buy inexpensive bottled water at a grocery store, and then stick one of our custom water bottle labels on!), a small tube of sunblock, a granola bar, and maybe a $5 Starbucks gift card.
  • A cooler full of custom bottles of beer.  Buy your favorite brew, swap the labels for custom beer labels, and keep them in a cooler of ice in your car.  After the fundraiser, have a team toast with the cold brews.

Patriotic Beer Tastes Better

american-ipa We’re halfway through June and that means that BBQ’s everywhere are heating up for the grilled meat holiday of the year: 4th of July!

If you’re planning to celebrate the birth of this great country with beer, BBQ, and booms (from fireworks!) then give your beer a patriotic twist with this fantastic custom beer label!  It’s called “American I.P.A.” and was designed by one of our customers who decided to share his design and make it public.

This classic design proudly features the stars and stripes, and has completely customizable text.  Simply change the words to reflect what you’d like to say, peel the protective backing off the label, and stick the label to a room temperature bottle of brew!

Our labels are waterproof, so you can stick your bottles of beer in a cooler full of ice all day, and they’re affordable so you won’t have to break the bank.  The great thing is, if you order now you have plenty of time to receive your labels before the 4th.

We love this country, and look forward to toasting it with our own bottles of American IPA!

Homebrew Gift Idea

custom-beer-label If you know any homebrewers, you likely know a few things.  Things like:

  • Clean, empty bottles are almost always appreciated.
  • People who brew their own beer and wine are never at a loss for a good time.
  • You can make homebrew from darn near almost anything.

For example, some friends recently gave one of our employees some homemade dandelion wine.  Who knew you could make a fantastic beverage from what most people would consider weeds?!

If you have friends who routinely blow your mind with the brews that come out of their garage, give them a custom gift that shows how well you know them and how much you support their awesome hobby: custom beer or wine labels.

The neat thing about our custom beer and wine labels is that they’re re-usable.  They’re self-adhesive, and waterproof, and the adhesive in the back is formulated in such a way that you can easily remove the labels and re-apply them when necessary.

This means that if you order a batch of labels, your friends can label their brews, get the bottles back, remove the labels, sanitize the bottles, and then re-use both the bottles and the labels!

Homebrewers tend to be immensely proud of their brews, so show your support and love with a custom, one-of-a-kind perfect gift.  Who knows, you might even get yourself some bottles of brew in thanks!
