How To Apply Labels

Previous Step: How to Remove a Label

Before you apply a custom label to your botte or jar, make sure that the glass is completely clean, dry, free of residue, and at room temperature. Once your bottle or jar is ready, follow the steps below to apply your label:

1. To remove your custom label from the backing paper, peel back the BACKING at a tight angle in one corner. This should cause the corner to lift up, allowing the label to be slowly peeled off without damage.
2. Lay the bottle or jar down on a firm surface that will prevent it from rolling, such as on your lap, or on an egg carton.
3. Center the label over the bottle or jar. Using the seam as a guide can help with this.
4. Place the center of the label onto the glass first, using firm pressure to smooth it down evenly from the center out.
5. Once the label is applied, leave the your bottles or jars at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to set.
