We also use a local printer (Office Depot) for our color printing. Color logo etc printed on high quality printer then laminate the signage for longevity. For everything else we use a laser printer. Can’t beat it.

 

VistaPrint.com is an online printing company that does great reliable work for low cost. Especially if you watch for their specials and coupons. For jar labels we use business cards (from VistaPrint) print a nice b/w laser label to stick on the back, then punch a hole in one corner and attach with a rubber band. Gives it a nice but homemade look without fussing with it. VHS tape labels (not the spine labels) are just the right size for business cards.

 

Just another thought.

Hi - 

 

We are finally getting around to placing some of our winter greens for sale in a local health food store. 

 

I want to put a nice colorful branded label on each bag (will be zip-lock freezer bags) 

 

I think I'll be using a square label, probably around 4x4.

 

I don't think I've ever heard this mentioned before, but am I supposed to use 'weatherproof' labels? 

 

It appears that Avery doesn't make a waterproof ink jet label, but there are waterproof ink jet labels available on-line 

 

I'm wondering what works for the rest of you.

 

These labels are for like quart zip lock freezer bags that will be displayed in an open crisper in the 'produce section' of the health food store.

 

Thanks
