So start shopping and get happy, this deal ends August 15, 2010!

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.

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!

• 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!

We are not kidding: ever since we enabled you, our customers, to completely customize your labels you have had us rolling in the aisles with some of the ideas you’ve come up with.  We love it!  Inside jokes, embarrassing pictures, nudity, it’s all giving us a fierce case of the giggles.

It seems to us that most of the cheeky labels we’re seeing are beer labels.  There’s just something about beer that brings out the irreverent sense of humor in everyone.  All we ask is that you keep it up!

If coming up with cheeky or funny beer labels isn’t really your thing, you might enjoy browsing through our funny beer label section.  You’ll see such favorites as “Kick Ass“, which will appeal to you if you enjoy silly pictures and wordplay, and relative newcomers like “Atomic Ale” (perfect for really strong brews) and the wedding-appropriate “Game Over” label (perfect for a bachelor party or wedding pre-funk?).

Of course, if you prefer your cheeky humor with just a dash of irreverence, you’ll love the label featured above, “Holy Grail Ale“.  We can think of a few pastors who wouldn’t mind getting a case of personalized beer with this label!

With all the microbrews and independent breweries out there, beer has gotten awfully serious lately.  Let’s do what we can to keep the fun in drinking and enjoying it!

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we know spring is on the way by the gorgeous daffodils that pop up all over the place!  With spring so close, summer’s soon to follow, and that means wedding season!

Summer weddings are such fun.  Good weather, great outdoor venues, fantastic lighting for photos!  Planning an outdoor wedding can present additional logistical challenges, but they’re nothing you can’t solve with a little creativity.

Take, for example, keeping your guests hydrated and cool during your outdoor festivities.  The last thing you want is for the one thing everyone remembers from your wedding to be your aunt fainting at the reception!

Have you thought about serving beer at your wedding?  It’s an easy refreshment to offer, as it’s already in serving containers (no need for extra glassware), and doesn’t have enough alcohol content that you have to worry about certain family members imbibing too much (every family has them!).

If you’re worried about the somewhat down-market image of beer, try classing the bottles up with custom beer labels.  You can coordinate the colors, text, and images on the beer labels with the rest of your decorative touches, ensuring that you won’t have to worry about beer labels clashing with your table settings.

We have several wedding beer label designs to choose from, or you can design your own.  Our Design Online tool makes it easy to upload your images and text to your beer labels.  Have fun designing your custom beer labels, then enjoy watching guests relaxing and enjoying themselves at your wedding!

March Madness is here, and we’ve got what you need to get into it!  Custom stickers, custom bumper stickers, and beer labels: Basically everything you need to support your team!

Why not design a custom bumper sticker that lets the world know which team you want to see take home the victory?  We have a great basketball water bottle label design that you can easily turn into a bumper sticker, or you can create your own from scratch.  Change the wording, add an image, the perfect March Madness bumper sticker is just a few clicks away!

Or you can build team spirit at your school by handing out custom stickers with your team’s mascot on them!  Custom stickers are an inexpensive and fun way to help spectators get into the game!

If you’re thinking about having some rabid basketball fans come over to watch the playoffs or the big game, why not spice things up a bit with custom beer labels?  There’s really nothing more gratifying than serving your friend, who supports the rival team, a beer with your team’s name and mascot on it!

Even though the playoffs have yet to determine who will go head to head at this year’s Superbowl, that doesn’t mean you can’t start stocking up for your Superbowl party!  Whoever ends up heading to Miami in February, you know it’s going to be a good game!

If you start early, you’ll have plenty of time to get your guest list and supplies together.  Have you thought about using custom beer labels as part of your Superbowl party decorations?

These personalized beer labels are great, with fully customizable text and bright, eye-catching colors.  When your guests reach for a cold one they’re bound to take their eyes off the game for just a moment to notice your creativity!

We offer two different football beer labels (Game Day, featured above, and Super Brew), and the great thing about these designs is their versatility.  You can print them to feature which team you support, the kind of beer you plan to serve, or even put them on bottles of soda if you’re inviting children to your party!

We also have a football water bottle label (Flag Football) so if you want to go all out customizing the beverages at your party you can make sure the bottled water looks great too (If you’d like a list of what we consider must-have Superbowl party supplies, check out this post).

Our custom labels take 3 business days to produce and you can choose from a wide range of shipping options to get your labels to you on time.  The labels are completely self-adhesive, so all you have to do is peel off the protective backing and stick them on.

Easy, fun, and custom!

If you want to go the extra mile, however, or do something thoughtful that’s completely unexpected, we have a housewarming gift idea that will definitely get noticed without requiring a mortgage of its own.  You can snap a photo of the new house and use it to create a personalized, unforgettable keepsake for the new homeowners.

You can customize the label with the homeowner’s names and new address, and then add the photo of their new house.  Put these labels on a bottle of wine (our custom wine labels), a pack of beer (with personalized beer labels), or some “Moving Day Water” (with custom water bottle labels) and you’ve got an affordable, one-of-a-kind gift.  We’re happy to help you customize our label designs, so if you have any questions about color or text changes just let us know!
