Water Bottle Stickers – Made in any Size or Shape to Fit Popular Bottles

October 1, 2023 by bottleyourbrand Leave a Comment

I know we’ve talked about water bottle labels about a zillion times here over the years but here is a new twist on the product. Water bottle stickers. What’s the difference you say? In our opinion they are essentially the same but if you want other opinions do some Googling. I’m sure there are some passionate groups on either side of the argument.

Standard Rectangle Water Bottle Labels Vs. Water Bottle Stickers in Custom Shapes.

Our standard rectangle water bottle labels are made in two sizes 8.25″ wide by 1.75″ tall or 8″ wide by 2.125″ tall. Those sizes were chosen as the two that fit the most common brands of store bought bottled water. Brands like Aquafina, Deer Park, Arrowhead, Kirkland Signature (Costco bottled water), Poland Springs, Nestle Pure Life and more. But what about if you have a different bottle, something with a unique shape like Fiji bottles which are square? That’s why you need custom water bottle stickers. They are essentially die cut stickers.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Make Your Own Dropper Bottle Labels

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:

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 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!

Why Are Hydro Flask Bottles So Popular?

One of the primary reasons for Hydro Flask’s popularity is the quality of their products. Hydro Flask bottles are made of high-grade stainless steel and are designed to withstand rough handling that comes with adventuring in the outdoors. They are also double-walled with vacuum insulation, which means that they can keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours, making them perfect for hot summer days or cold winter hikes.

Another reason for Hydro Flask’s success is the range of sizes and colors they offer. Hydro Flask bottles come in sizes ranging from 12 oz to 128 oz, so you can choose a size that suits your needs. They come in a range of colors and designs, so you can find one that fits your style.

Hydro Flask bottles are also incredibly convenient to use. The wide-mouth design makes it easy to fill and clean, and the screw-on cap ensures that your drink will not spill (if you have kids you know how important a quality lid or cap is). The caps are also insulated, which helps to keep your drink at the desired temperature for longer. You can tell Hydro Flask spent some time and money on R&D when they engineered their bottles, they function and hold well.

These Sound Amazing! Are There Any Downsides to Hydro Flask Bottles?

While Hydro Flask bottles are incredibly popular, there are a few downsides to consider. First, they are relatively expensive compared to other water bottles on the market. However, the high quality and durability of the bottles can make them worth the investment in the long run. If you are looking for alternatives though visit any Target, Costco, Fred Meyer, Ross or even HomeGoods and you’ll find plenty of Hydro Flask knock offs for a fraction of the cost. And our stickers will work on them just as good.

Another potential downside is that Hydro Flask bottles are heavier than other water bottles. This is due to their double-walled insulation, which adds weight to the bottle. However, many people find that the added weight is worth it for the benefits of having their drinks stay cold or hot for hours.

The Exciting Conclusion

Hydro Flask bottles are a great choice for anyone who wants a reliable, durable, and stylish water bottle that can keep drinks cold or hot for extended periods of time. And with the addition of custom Hydro Flask stickers from us here at BYB, you can add a personal touch to your bottle that makes it uniquely yours.
