What are some cool bottle labels?
If you decide to put a label on a bottle, you should understand that its contents must be directly related to the event in connection with which you decided to do this business. Well, it’s advisable to immediately think about how to implement your idea - create a sticker yourself or download it from the Internet and print it on a printer. It all depends only on your imagination and desire. And we will tell you what these options might be.
Cool inscription on a bottle of moonshine
Considering that moonshine is usually not perceived as an elite alcohol, a colored label will add a couple of points to the image of the bottle. And it doesn’t matter where it will stand - on the holiday table or in the home bar. The main thing is that all this will look funny and fun.
Decorating wedding bottles
Usually, alcohol for a wedding is decorated in more romantic ways: with ribbons, tulle, and an imitation of the bride and groom is created. However, if the newlyweds have a super sense of humor, and they are understanding guys, then a kind of thematic sticker will only improve the mood of both the young spouses and, of course, the guests.
By the way, in Russia there is a tradition of putting several types of alcohol on the table, which should be placed near the spouses. These bottles are then safely stored in the family bar and only drunk on significant dates. This approach pushes young people to decorate bottles with themed labels. There are a lot of options:
- names of the newlyweds or their photos - jointly or separately;
- original congratulations addressed to the bride and groom;
- You can also transfer the personal wishes of the lovers to each other onto the sticker - you will get a kind of oath that will remind the newlyweds of this significant date for a long time.
According to tradition, the main images of the couple on the label are complemented by elements that have symbolic meaning for such a joyful event. The following figures are considered simple and understandable to all guests:
- hearts;
- engagement rings;
- swans (as a united pair or rushing towards each other);
- doves.
Ideas for gift alcohol
If you print and stick a label on a gift bottle, you will get an interesting and original gift for any occasion! This is especially true if a person does not know what to give: whatever one may say, alcohol is often the best option. Such surprises are especially popular as a thank you, for example to your boss or your doctor.
However, such a gift is received with a bang by many. Still, it's creative and interesting.You can decorate any type of alcohol in this way, from a banal bottle of beer to elite drinks - liqueur, cognac, whiskey, brandy, absinthe, rum, tequila and others.
The label for gift bottles contains various wishes, original text or, similarly, a photo of the recipient.
Unusual labels for the birthday boy
This is a great idea for an original gift! Such a gift can be either an addition to the main thing or given as the main one, especially if you decide to give some exclusive expensive drink. The sticker usually contains the phrase: “Happy Birthday!”, as well as short wishes: love, happiness, health.
And if you still don’t want to rub off the original label, but the desire to focus attention remains, then you can simply design and print a label that is hung on the neck and secured with an elastic band - this is also quite worthy and interesting.
Where to find and how to glue?
So, you have the decision to decorate the bottle with a label, and you even have an approximate idea of what exactly you would like to see. Now another problem arises - where to find suitable labels and how to stick them.
Don’t panic right away, because there are just a bunch of options on the Internet that you need to download, edit a little in size (if necessary), print and send to the bottle. Sometimes you can go even further and develop your own original layout in a printing house - almost every company that is at least somehow connected with the development of business cards, leaflets and other printing does this.
But we will have to try hard with the gluing process, because we need a neat bottle, and not God knows what.
First you need to remove the old stickers. You can do this in many ways:
- damp sponge;
- soap solution;
- soda;
- acetone;
- WD-40 (it generally saves you from all troubles);
- special solvents, but they are usually quite expensive.
Do not attempt to remove glue using fire. Its direct contact with the glass will cause it to burst.
There are also a lot of ways to stick a label, so the choice depends only on financial capabilities and preferences:
- any glue (water-based or starch-based, casein, semi-synthetic and synthetic);
- hot glue;
- double-sided tape (if you don’t want to bother at all).
But when you order a cool label somewhere from a company, you can go the easiest way - order a ready-made print on a self-adhesive base.
There are a lot of ideas on how to make something unusual and memorable out of a simple bottle - it’s impossible to tell about them all. But such decoration definitely makes the appearance of the gift more impressive and unexpected.
