10 Simple and Unique Ideas for Stickers

September 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Stickers have evolved from being mere embellishments to becoming a powerful form of self-expression, branding, and decoration. Regardless if you are a business, person who loves to craft, pet lover, baker or kid looking to decorate your school supplies we’re going to explore 10 simple and unique ideas for stickers that will ignite your creativity and help you make a statement with custom stickers.

1. Minimalist Icons: Sometimes, less is more. Create a series of minimalist icons that represent your favorite hobbies, interests, or emotions. Minimalist stickers can add a touch of elegance to your laptop, phone case, water bottle, journal or even car.

2. Inspirational Quotes: Turn your favorite motivational quotes, song lyrics, Bible verses or meditations or more into stickers. These can serve as daily reminders of positivity and encouragement. Stick them on your mirror, workspace, phone case, laptop or planner to keep you inspired throughout the day.

3. Nature’s Wonders: Capture the beauty of nature by designing stickers featuring intricate leaves, delicate flowers, or adorable animals. These stickers can bring a sense of tranquility to your surroundings.

4. Vintage Vibes: Create stickers with a vintage twist, reminiscent of classic advertisements, retro patterns, or old-school typography. Retro bumper stickers make especially good vintage stickers. Vintage designs can add a touch of nostalgia to your belongings.

5. Geometric Marvels: Design stickers that play with geometric shapes and patterns. These can range from mesmerizing mandalas to captivating tessellations, adding a dose of visual intrigue to any surface.

6 Foodie Fun: If you’re a food lover, why not turn your favorite dishes or ingredients into stickers? From mouthwatering pizzas to adorable avocados, these stickers can bring a dash of culinary delight to your items.

7 Travel Treasures: Commemorate your travel adventures by creating stickers (car stickers are a good idea here) inspired by different cities, landmarks, or cultures. These stickers can be a wonderful way to reminisce about your journeys.

8 Pet Portraits: Celebrate the furry (or feathered) members of your family by designing stickers that capture their unique personalities. Stick them on your belongings to keep your pets close, even when they’re not physically around. A complementing idea is using a pet portrait and turning it into a canvas wall art.

9. Whimsical Doodles: Let your imagination run wild with a series of whimsical doodle stickers. Create charming characters, fantastical creatures, or dreamy landscapes that add a touch of magic to your world. Maybe even create some cute kawaii characters or your favorite Pokemon or other anime characters and make them into stickers.

10. Customizable Creations: Design stickers that allow for personalization. Leave a space where individuals can write their names, messages, or dates, making these stickers the perfect addition to gifts, cards, or event decorations.

Three tips for designing Dropper Bottle, CBD or other Small Label Sizes

July 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Here at Bottle Your Brand we see a lot of labels for dropper bottles. CBD label designs, tincture designs, essential oil label designs, elixirs, beard oils and on and on. With that said we’d like to share a few simple tips for getting the best results when designing these smaller labels for bottles.

how to design professional looking dropper bottle labels

Dropper bottles for products like CBD, beard oil, tinctures and so on are generally small, like 1 or 2 ounces small. Most dropper bottles are no more than a few inches tall and an inch or so in diameter. That means that the labels that go on these bottles are even smaller. Our two standard sizes are 3”wide by 1.5” high and 3” wide and 2” high. So if you have a label that is only 1.5” high and you are trying to cram all sorts of text and designs on it you need to be mindful of a few things.

Here are our three quick tips for designing small bottle labels.

  1. Font Size. Try to keep your font size as large as possible, at least 4pt, preferably 5pt. Anything smaller and you run the risk of it getting swallowed up with the surrounding color and it’s nearly impossible to read. This is short run digital printing, not offset printing so unfortunately the printer has limitations as to how it can handle small fonts especially if there isn’t a lot of contrast between the font color and the background. Try to keep your fonts as large as possible and stay away from script of thin fonts.
  2. Contrast. Do not try to put purple text on a black background. This goes for larger label designs too but double for small designs. The text won’t show up because of the lack of contrast and you’ll end up with a poor looking design. The more contrast between your background and text the better the final label will look.
  3. Content & Spacing. Be mindful about how much you are trying to fit into your design. Less truly is more with these dropper bottle labels. Don’t be wordy and don’t try to put multiple images on them. They are simply too small and if you cram them full of text and images not only does it look unprofessional it’s harder to read things. Try and keep the text spaced apart as much as possible, it really does produce an easier to read label that looks more professional. Less is more, less is more, one more time everyone, less is more.

That’s really it. If you keep in mind those three points when you are designing your dropper bottle labels you’ll get a finished label that you are happy with and that looks good. So get going on your designing and we’ll print and ship your dropper bottle labels within 48 hours (not counting weekends).

Common Bottle Sizes and Labels Sizes that Fit Them

June 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

A question we get over and over again is “I need to make labels for my bottles, my bottles are – fill in the blank. What size labels do I need?” It’s a tough question to answer since there are hundreds of types of standard bottles for products out there, not to mention custom created ones by brands that are getting fancy by creating their own bottle style. For instance an 8oz energy drink bottle is most likely a different shape than an 8oz Kirkland Signature water bottle.

Team Stickers On A Sheet – Print One Water Bottle Sticker Per Kid

May 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

Parents or coaches of kids sports, listen up! Kids are constantly leaving or misplacing their sports equipment, water bottles, shoes, jerseys, playbooks, the list goes on and on. Here at Bottle Your Brand we can’t help you with that, sorry the kids just need to do better. What we can help you with is the ability to create sticker sheets for your team where you give each player one custom sticker with their name to apply to a water bottle, playbook or whatever else they constantly misplace.

Print An Entire Teams Roster On A Single Sheet Of Stickers

Get Started!

There are a dozen or more kids on any given team and most sticker printers require you to purchase 20 or more of the same design when ordering. That means if you want personalized sports stickers for your kid you’re going to end up with 20, if there are 12 kids on a team that’s 240 sticker being printed up and a lot of wasted money and material. We can solve both of those problems. We can print a teams worth of stickers on a single sheet, each sticker being its own unique one for each kid. For example this sheet of stickers for a soccer team:

Team stickers on a sheet, print 15 or more unique stickers on a sheet.
Create custom sticker sheets for kids sports team with each one being unique to a player.

Reducing Waste With Short Run Sticker Printing

With the ability to print different names on each sticker you can often times get 15 or so different kids stickers on each sheet. Need two stickers or even three stickers for each kid? No problem, you can edit the names on each sticker to whatever you like. That means that you can get a whole teams worth of kids stickers on a few sheets instead of several dozen sheets if each parent were to order for their child individually.

Print your entire teams names on one page of stickers.
Print 15 or more unique stickers on a single sheet. Save money and materials.

Short Run Water Bottle Stickers For Any Sport

We’ve got several premade templates for basketball, soccer and other sports but if you want to make your own custom team stickers in short runs you can do so. Simply create your designs and lay it out on a 8.5”x11” standard size sheet. Upload it as a PDF or high resolution JPG file starting here. We’ll die cut them out to your requirements an ship your sheet or sheets out within four business days, often sooner. One pro tip though, try to leave .25” of space between each design so we can get a good clean cut around whatever image you have. Also keep in mind we need a cut path around your images (a one or two pixel line that traces the outline of your image) so we know how to cut them out. If you aren’t sure how to do that let us know and we can help.

If you need help or have questions about creating your short run water bottle sticker sheets for your team reach out to us. We’re happy to help. We’re here on live chat Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm PST or email us using the contact info below to the right. Cheers!
