dpowell Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I am stuck trying to decide between using clear inkjet labels or inkjet rub-on decal paper (which leaves the printing on the bottle without a label - available here http://www.papilio.com/inkjet_rub_on.htm). Has anyone used the inkjet rub-on decals or any rub-on stickers for labeling on plastic bottles before that may have some input on them? I was thinking that they would look nice but I'm having a hard time picking which way to go.Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Wow, labels with out ugly 'labels' sounds great. I have no answer for you here but I will bump this up because I am very curious about them myself. I would think that they would look wonderful, with the only drawback being if the transfer holds well. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I don't know the benefit of using them. Based on what I read it sounds like they would be more trouble than they're worth. But that's just my opinion, call me lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Lea Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I love this idea....would love to hear if someone else has tried them. I hate trying to get my clear B&B labels straight...not that this would really solve that problem, but it seems like this would look really professional on products.

hfab Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have to admit, I love this idea also. I'd much rather have something that doesn't look like a normal label. I'd only be worried about the water-resistance of the ink and the hardiness of the adhesive. I may have to try it out of sheer curiosity, so thanks for posting this! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 yes please post your findings or choice. love the rub on idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have never heard of the rub on decals, but I've played with other forms of rub-on decals for other mediums, and they always took forever, and if you didn't get it fully rubbed on right, it didn't stick well. I can't image the labor time this would involve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpowell Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 It's ok. solved the problem and got a color laser printer. Clear waterproof labels work just great for me.I'm sure the rub on paper would look great - similar to many retail bottles. It's just more trouble than I'd like to go through.
