What Bottles Do Our Water Bottle Labels Fit? Part Two

July 22, 2009 by Erika Leave a Comment

Now that we’ve looked at which small bottled water bottles work best for our labels, we decided to move onto the larger bottles.  This post will look at three national bottled water brands and how well they took to being labeled.  We know that our customers probably don’t have the time to go out and investigate bottled water brands, so we went ahead and did the research for you!

[singlepic id=134 w=240 h=160 float=center]The first national 16.9 oz water bottle we tried was the Dasani bottle.  These bottles are sturdy, unlikely to dent, and have a distinctive blue color that could tie in beautifully if you have any blue in your event décor.  Our large label size fits perfectly on this bottle, leaving only a 1/16″ gap in the back.  This is a really great brand of water to use so long as you don’t mind the blue cap and bottle.

[singlepic id=135 w=240 h=160 float=center]The next national brand we tried was Aquafina.  Aquafina actually offers two different 16.9 oz bottles, a regular 16.9 oz bottle and their 16.9 oz  EcoFina bottles, which use less plastic and are more environmentally friendly.  We tried our labels on both, and were pleased to discover that our labels actually fit perfectly on both types of bottle.  Our small label size actually works better on the EcoFina bottles than the large size, because this bottle is rather skinny.  The small label fits perfectly, leaving no gap at all, and the height of the label looks great on the bottle.  The only problem with the EcoFina bottles is that they’re very flimsy and dent easily.

Our large label size worked perfectly on the regular Aquafina bottle.  The ends met with just a slight overlap, and the height fits perfectly as well.  If we were to recommend any national brand of 16.9 oz bottled water for our personalized water labels, Aquafina would be it.  Our labels fit the bottles like they were made for each other.

[singlepic id=136 w=240 h=160 float=center]We also tried Arrowhead’s eco-friendly bottle.  This bottle is more flimsy than the EcoFina bottles, with a bizarrely narrow label area that did not fit any of our labels.  The bottles were very dented when we removed them from the packaging, and the narrow label area ensures that our labels hang off the edges of the bottle and look terrible.  We do not recommend Arrowhead’s 16.9 oz bottled water for use with our labels.

***Please note: It is not legal to re-label bottled water for re-sale.  These posts are intended to demonstrate how our labels can be used to re-label bottled water for non-commercial uses only.***

What Bottles Do Our Water Bottle Labels Fit? Part One

July 15, 2009 by Erika Leave a Comment

This has been a fun week here at Bottle Your Brand!  In response to the steady number of inquiries we get inquiring about what bottled water brands work best with our personalized water labels, we decided to do a little experiment.  We went to as many grocery stores as we could find, bought as many different bottled water brands as we could fit into our car, and started labeling!  Six hours and nine different brands of water later, we finally have some answers for anyone who’s curious about what brand of bottled water to buy for our labels only.

We’ll split the information into a couple different posts, showing you photos of our labels on the bottles, tips and tricks, and letting you know which brands we recommend and which brands we found difficult to work with.  Let’s get started with the small bottles, which we normally recommend for use with our small labels only size.

[singlepic id=133 w=240 h=160 float=center]The Arrowhead 8 oz bottle is a nationwide brand.  The bottles are pretty sturdy, and the clear caps look nice.  This bottle looks great with our small water bottle label size, though the edges of our small labels do not quite meet at the back of the bottle.  There is a 1/2″ gap at the back.  The original label was easy to remove, and our label fit perfectly from top to bottom.  A great recommendation for anyone who wants to serve 8 oz bottles.

[singlepic id=132 w=240 h=160 float=center]The Refreshe (a Safeway brand) 10 oz bottle is available at Safeway grocery stores.  This is a strong little bottle, so it’s not likely to dent, and we think the clear caps look great.  Our small label size fits the bottle really nicely, with a 1/8″ gap, and as you can see, the bottle looks really lovely with our custom label on it.  Since this is the generic brand of water carried at Safeway, it’s usually less expensive than the other brands.  A great option for someone with a Safeway store nearby!

[singlepic id=131 w=240 h=160 float=center]The Dasani 12 oz bottles are carried nationwide.  The interesting thing with this brand is that you can use either a small or a large label for the bottle.  The small label looks great in proportion to the rest of the bottle, but there is a sizable gap of 5/8″ in the back where the two label ends don’t quite meet.  If you use the large label, the ends have only a 1/8″ gap in the back.  Aesthetically, we think the small label fits the bottle porportions better, but you have to decide for yourself whether you’re ok with the large gap in back.  Here’s a close-up of the gap difference between the two label sizes.[singlepic id=130 w=240 h=160 float=center]

This bottle is a light blue color, with a dark blue cap.  As long as these colors won’t interfere with your event’s color scheme this is a great bottle as well.

Coming up next?  National 16.9 oz water bottles!  Stay tuned for which brands we thought worked well and which brands we don’t recommend at all.

Homebrewing During the Summer

June 30, 2009 by Erika Leave a Comment

[singlepic id=128 w=240 h=160 float=center]Homebrewing during the summer can be a hot, sticky mess!  The process of brewing your own beer can be quite warm anyway, but when you add escalating outdoor temperatures to the mix things can get downright unpleasant!  Don’t think for a second that this means you have to relinquish your hobby until fall rolls around, though.  Plenty of people continue to brew their own beer during the summer and live to tell the tale!

We know many of our customers buy our custom beer labels to label their homebrewed beer, and it’s a lot of fun for us to see the names that go along with each batch and read the stories that accompany them.  We have a ton of designs that are perfect for summer brews, and we can also print completely custom designs as well.  With our completely self-adhesive and waterproof labels, you never have to worry about refrigerating your beer or keeping it on ice.  Our label look great no matter where you store your beer!

Here are some ways to help get you through this warm homebrewing season:

  1. Try to maintain a constant temperature.  Places like basements are ideal, as they tend to stay pretty cool and constant in temperature.  Avoid places like metal garden sheds because these fluctuate wildly in temperature.
  2. Let your fermenter sunbathe.  Air it out in the sunshine between brews to prevent it from becoming musty.  Just take care not to leave it in sunlight for too long so as to prevent the plastic from getting brittle.
  3. Keep your brewing ingredients away from direct heat.  If you expose your yeast to high temperatures, you run the risk of reducing its quality and effectiveness.

Keep these tips in mind and you’ll be knocking back your delicious homebrew all summer long!

The Perfect Pet Lover Gift

June 24, 2009 by Erika Leave a Comment

Have you ever looked at your pet and said, “You are adorable!”?  If you’re anything like 99.9% of all pet owners out there, that answer is an emphatic yes.  Pets are cute, it doesn’t matter if you’re keeping dogs, cats, birds, snakes, lizards, or wild boar, if you have brought a pet into your home, it’s very likely you think that animal is the cutest in the whole world ever.

That’s why we designed our brand new design, “Billy Goat Beer Label“.  Even though there’s a dog name in the title, you can change the text to say whatever you like, and include any pet picture you want free of charge!  You can use that adorable picture of when your cat was just a kitten, or that amazing picture from when your dog got stuck in the trash can.

The dog featured in this example is named Doc Holiday, and he’s a lot bigger now and lives happily with one of the people who works here.  As you can see, virtually any photo will look great on this label, and you can get as creative as you like with the text.  Go nuts!  Have fun!  Just remember not to let your pet drink any of the wine, even if the bottle does have his/her name on it!
