    I only need 50-75 labels a year for my syrup. It goes mostly to family but I want to put labels on the jars. Where do I get them printed. 2 1/2 X 2 1/2" Labels

    Example:

    Tapped by Scott and Larry
    Spring, 2018

    Vistaprint has a sale going on right now and is pretty straight forward for creating a label, particularly smaller quantities.

    I bought Avery brand labels at Staples and using their design software and templates I designed and printed my own labels. The cost was about $20 for 750 labels.

    They stuck on pretty good but not as good as I wanted them to so I bought some blank labels from Uline. They were made from a vinyl material and designed for plastic barrels and flower pots that can get wet. Those stick good but cost $99 for 3000 of them. They don't smudge when they get wet like the other ones did.

    Thanks guys for the feed back. I ordered from Uprinting.com today. Software for designing was very easy to use. I paid more for vinyl labels than paper as I get most bottles returned to me and I can reuse the bottles.
    $45 for 500 labels. I will let you know on Tuesday if I'm happy or not.
