bravo5 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Started playing around with lip balm, labeled my tester tubes- and already found something I don't like. I just hand-wrote a label for the tubes using existing label stock that I have. I don't like the "feel" of any of the labels! I tried regular laser paper labels, "weatherproof" laser avery labels (polyester), some avery clear (matte) inkjet labels, and some vinyl labels. I don't like the texture of any of them. I looked at some store-bought lip balms that I had, and they all have a very glossy, "plastic-y" label on them.I did see on one store bought tube a label I really liked- plastic-y feel, wrapped around the whole tube, but then also had a perforated "tab" that stuck up onto the cap, that was broken when opened. I also saw one that looked like the whole label was a plastic shrinkwrap type label- it came off entirely when I peeled it, and wasn't adhesive. This one also had a perforated piece for the cap, that snapped off when you opened it.So... what media do you use for labeling your lip balm?

RobinInOR Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I use regular label paper, and put a shrinkwrap around it that just comes off the cap. the rest stays on to protect the ink on the label. Brambleberry has them, and I think Kangaroo Blue has them as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravo5 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 That looks like exactly what I am looking for!!! I had some shrink wrap for lip balms from another supplier, and this is much better!Thanks much! I'm ordering now. BTW- I ended up ordering about $50 from KB. Why can't I ever just buy the one thing I go to buy at a supplier?? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I use the return address labels from vistaprint.com. I measure them first and then just use the space that I need, when they get here I cut them to fit.Here is a pic of my labels:These were actually done with the backgrounds they have there, I just changed colors.
