These are great designs!

For those of us who can make vector images, there's a great site you can go to to have labels made professionally:
http://reprolabels.net

I happen to work there (I hope this isn't taken as spam - just trying to be helpful).

It's very unusual to be able to order labels like this in small quantities. Most printers would charge a fortune. You can even get them cut to any shape you can draw, which is just really, really impressive for homebrew :)

Just checking also, what do you do to keep ink from running on lables, I had thought about making rice glue when I was ready but milk sounds a lot easier.

I printed of a couple of labels yesterday on glossy photo paper and used milk to fix to the bottle and was astounded by how well "glued" they were, i thought the paper would be too heavy and was quite dubious about using milk anyway but am now very much converted.

Very nice indeed!
Here's to a long life and a merry one
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer and another one

Cheers,
