Does anyone know where I can get blank labels that stick good to the bottle so I can print my own labels.

The best deal I know is Avery Labels - using there FREE download program which covers EVERY LABEL they make. The full featured art design program lets you import images, add any text type and style and size, you can easily make the most professional labels you can imagine.

You got to www.avery.com look for the download software (which is about 100 megs in size) but again covers all ables from envelope return tags to large shipping labels, and everything in between.

Just go to staples or where every you find Avery Labels, search the models number in their drop dpwn box, a blank outline appears in the full featured painting programs, and off you go.

I highly recommend this one - mainly becase is adjusts to the the number you can fit on a page, print out a single label - make corrections as you go and except for the labels which you buy any way, the software is free and powerful.

All of the office supply stores (like Staples) sell blank adhesive labels.  You can also buy them online from stores like Amazon. 

If you are using a free software OS. There are 2 great programs for printing labels:

I used avery labels with a custom design.  I made a little mistake by putting my format together in MS Word.  I have a new computer also and when I got to Office Depot, the format was different than there older computer had.  They recommended using MS Publisher.  Made it a lot easier for me, but the format was still off.  I just have to remember to save as and older version .pub file or .doc file instead of .pubx or .docx file.  Check with them if you plan to use a printing service and find out what format works best for them.  I learned the hard way.

I use "onlinelabels.com". They have a terrific program to design the labels and then you can purchase the labels also.  I have waterproof labels that do not wash off.
