Labelling Spray Bottles

hey guys,

I like to keep my collection organized, and part or that involves having my spray bottles labelled. I have a label printer and used that to print the labels and then I stuck them on to the bottle. On top of that label I used packaging tape. Unfortunately it didn't hold up very well and now all my spray bottles are starting to lose their labels. This is what it looked like when I had them "freshly labelled"


Just wondering what you guys use to label your spray bottles.

Thanks,
Brendan

 

A sharpie

 

haha I forgot to mention that I want to be neat, I can't write on bottles for sh*t:shead:

 

i rarely label my bottles, if im confused, i just open it up and smell it.

 

sharpie, i used dyno label maker for polish bottle but they come off overtime

 

+1

+1 That's what I resort to when the Sharpie writing fades. Labels rarely hold up IME. They look good at first but go to poo after a while.

 

haha yeah thats what happened to my labels, I wonder if writing on a piece of painters tape and then putting it on the bottle would work...

 

I also use a label maker. Looks clean and organized.

 

I got water proof labels from ebay and use them on all my bottles. They have been on for around 4-5 months now and have had no issues with pealing or fading (laser printer). They have gotten wet, had apc on them and still looking good.

 

I used the "guess and smell" method, until I found that missing bottle of ammonia a few weeks later... definitely started a migraine with that one.

Now I use a sharpie on painters tape. I change the contents of the bottle too much to write it permanently.

 

Brother brand hand held label printer, works great and it was cheap.

 

ahh sounds like a great idea, thanks! Got any pics?

 

Most of my stuff is packed up and at my parents house but here are two bottles I still have at my apartment. You can get them in almost any size you like, any Avery standard label size. They are a plastic like label with a nice strong adhesive. Print them off on my laser printer and have not had issues. Some have the black toner fading a bit, but those are the ones that I use a lot of abuse. But they have lasted longer than Dyna (sp) label maker labels or anything similar.

 

i use a sharpie and usually write the dilution ratio as well as the name .

 

Sorry, pictures are terrible...Just went out to snap them cause somebody wanted them so bad (kc1337) . Uncle and I just put up some shelving. I like this set up, so much easier to grab spray bottles now.

 

as you can see, all the labels have gone to poop now... I may end up just printing out new labels and going over it with scotch tape...I think thats what I did before. It looked good for a while

 

guess and smell method here as well LoL but im looking to label my models for that clean appearance and so i can have different dilutions of different products.

If the printing label things isn't working get you girlfriend or wife or even a lady friend to write on the bottles with a sharpies. Women's writing is usually very neat and uniformed.

 

blue painters tape and a sharpie.

Why does that "water" bottle have a green tint? Time to update the label.

 

I use a piece of blue painters tape on my bottles.

I put the tape on them as soon as i get them from US Plastics and on the tape i mark off the 1:8 , 1:4 and 1:2 ratio marks.

this way i always know how much xxx to put in the bottle.

it has been 9 months and the tape is holding on just fine too. even on the APC and SDG bottles

 

your labels look like they come from a casio machine. the brother label makers are better and are waterproof.
