Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post..... I've got lots of questions!
I'm gearing up for xmas, and have been working on a few B & B treats over the last few months - but I need some decent labels. All I have at the moment is 'Word' - which is limited, and I don't want to pay anyone since flavours etc change all th time sooooo I'm looking at purchasing a label software programme, but I don't know where to begin!
I need something that does circular labels for lip balms and regular rectangle and squares to fit on my jars. So it will also need to tie in with the pre - cut label sheets that I can purchase.
I'm pretty good with design and can figure out most programmes, so I'd prop like an advanced programme - does anyone have any recommendations?
Also - these are going to need to be pretty moisture resistant and in some cases water proof - do I need to get these printed professionally? The matt labels I tried didn't hold up (no surprises there), would gloss make a difference?
Geezz I'm having a nightmare with this. I've jumped the gun and brought a lot of jars etc only to find that pre - cut labels don't come in the sizes I need and cutting circular labels by hand is not an option (although I did try!)
What does everyone else do? make it 100% yourself? or hire someone else to design? or design yourself and get someone to print?
