I'm getting ready to order printed high quality labels. I've send quote requests to CLOV and syruplabels.com. Any other leads? I do not want to print my own, I want to order custom printed labels. Ideas please? I will in time be ordering in quantities of 1000 and 2000 on rolls.

I've ordered from SyrupLabels.com for the past 10+ years, they do a great job, quality is excellant and they're easy to work and communicate with.
Mine are all on rolls of 500, which makes application a simple task. Made with a clear gloss laminate over the label they are water proof and hold up very nicely.

John, one of my current labels came from syruplabels.com Yes they are good I just wanted to check around. My other 2 labels were done locally, but that printer went out of business. Too bad, he was a nice guy.

Dave, I just wrapped this project up for us purchasing two labels. For us we worked with a local company which has had some experience in the maple industry here in the mid-west. What I have learned is when you think you have your label down exactly order the "one offs" which are samples, usually 1-4 labels. By doing this you maybe eliminating any potential problems and saving money. For us if we purchased 1,000 labels the design and artwork was covered in the expense of the label. Pricing for us was around .40 per label.

We order from syruplabels.com as well. However, we needed 1.5" circles not offered in the discounted run they do. We went to vistaprint.com, worked with a designer (for free) to get the labels the way we wanted them and ordered them. With a quick internet search for coupons, you can get up to 50% off. Our last order was for 1000 labels and it was round $0.15/label with coupons. Glossy print and they stick very well.

The artwork is all done already on mine, but there is some minor type changes. On my local guy who retired, he did the artwork and printed 500 labels which were 3.5" x 2.75" and were a unique shape for $.27 each.

I suggest getting a quote from Studley Printing in Plattsburgh. https://www.studleyprinting.com/

I have used several companies through the years including CLOV and SyrupLabels... This year I went to custom labels for all of our products and Studley gave us the best price.

We used www.websticker.com for our labels. They did a good job helping us tweak the design to make it our own. Local company in Stowe, VT.

I ended up using my old printer who now sells for his new employer. The labels were priced right and quality was top notch. Good adhesive and well done. I got them from Ansun Graphics in Syracuse, NY. Their salesman Dwayne knows what to use for syrup labels. However I chose a lower cost option, mine are on 5 label strips with 2 holes at the top to hang them, that option cost quite a bit less than on rolls. I get 5 of my labels on an 8.5" strip.

I designed mine in Gimp and used https://www.uprinting.com. Was $45 for 100 3x3 labels. Not sure why I chose the sticker product I did, but looking now, there are much cheaper options on their site in the same size :)

I had 300 labels made in 3.25 x 2.75 by my previous printer for $72.00. Little Tapper, If you would use many more in 2 years time you will get a better price doubling or tripling the order. The first 100 cost the most by far. However most will say the adhesive gets weaker after 2 years.

I used about 75 more of the new grade labels today, I still like them, but of course the real test will be the test of time.

Yeah, I could get a better price. I just don't end up using them. People who get my syrup generally don't need the labels. If I expand, maybe. I use a few here and there.
