Wondering where some of you get your personal labels made. Right now I'm making them with the computer but the ink and labels are not very durable.

There are adds in the maple digest. I've made some of my labels in the past but don't any more as they don't hold up very well. Usually the ink runs or fades and the label looks like crap. Or you can go to your local print shop or office supply store. They will cost a little more but stand up to the moisture and sunlight. Its always cheaper per label to buy larger quanities so buy what you will need for a few years.

I buy mine from current and artistic labels. The last ones I got were from artistic. I usually get 600 of them for around $ 6.95 with dispenser! Nothing fancy, but all I need!

I use Avery Clear mailing labels (made of plastic) on a laser printer with not problems as far as durability. They even survive moderate washing and hot filling of the jugs.
I use the 18660 available at Walmart.
