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.

What Kinds of Products Are Sold in Dropper Bottles? Hint…it’s Not Just CBD

July 1, 2020 by Jenny Walters 2 Comments

Dropper bottles with labels from different business types scattered.

What kind of businesses buy custom dropper bottle labels? We think it may surprise you and we’ll show how the labels look on actual entrepreneurs’ products. If you’re like most people you’re cautious about purchasing from a company until you see verified purchases from other customers. For that reason, we’re featuring some of our customers and almost every photo in this post was taken by them and not a professional photographer.

What Are Dropper Bottles?

Dropper bottles are most often glass containers used for storing nutraceuticals, CBD oils, hemp oils, herbal oils, essential oils, cosmetics and much more. They typically range from one-half ounce to two ounces in size. The bottle includes an eye dropper lid and a bulb on the end of the dropper for dispensing liquids in very small amounts. The glass bottle is offered in clear, brown, blue, green, and gradient shades. There are a variety of colors available for the lids as well.

What Products are Sold in Dropper Bottles?

Initially it was CBD businesses designing and ordering labels for their cannabinoid products, but the demand for other unique products sold in dropper bottles has increased. So what kind of products are sold in dropper bottles? Read on…

1. Beard Oils

The entrepreneurial spirit runs strong in those who are passionate about beards. We have many customers who order not only dropper bottle labels, but circle stickers for beard balm and beard growth products which are sold in tins or round jars.

Many small businesses who order from us need smaller print quantities for their dropper bottle labels and that is why they chose us. We print as few as 20 of the 3 inch wide by 1.5 inch high labels, which fit most 1-oz dropper bottles, and as few as ten of the 3 inch wide by 2 inch high labels which fit most 2-ounce dropper bottles.

2. Skin Care Products

When you’re bold enough to create your own skin care line, it’s entirely possible to make your own skin care labels using the online design studio, as evidenced by these customers. One ounce dropper bottles for skin care products utilize the 3 inch by 1.5 inch custom dropper labels.
