Summary

How to create and print visually appealing custom labels for vials and caps using different printers and label stocks

Users exchange photos of printed labels and iterate on designs for better appeal while seeking apps or workarounds for basic printers and black-and-white versions. Comparisons of printer capabilities highlight that functional labels meet most needs but decorative options drive interest in upgrades. Questions focus on material availability such as translucent or shiny stock along with templates for group sharing and experimentation with chat-based design tools.

I spent some time making custom labels for everyone. I don’t do this for money or as work, just wanted to be creative for people who like keeping their peptides organised. I’ve put up quite a few already, though a couple might still be missing. If you need one that isn’t there, drop a comment with the name and I’ll add it to the shared folder once I can. The Bac Water amounts might not fit what everyone uses, but I aimed for accuracy on each. To grab them, open the folder, pick the folder name or right-click inside, then choose download so it zips up.

How do you put these on the vials yourself? Printing on sticker paper or using a cutter machine maybe?

Most people here go with a small label printer or something similar.

Yeah I’m pretty good with mine, professional enough for me. But thanks for the inkjet versions for others.

BrightSignal52archiveMay 12

Awesome, I was just thinking about labeling my own stash.

GreenQuill96archiveMay 12

I have the cheap little printer. It definitely adds value for making templates, swapping expiration dates and updated dosage info. Anyone have templates they’d like to show for the smaller labels?

PatientBeacon15archiveMay 12

Great work. For those printing in color, how are you handling it? Inkjet? And how do you make the labels waterproof?

These are really cool. I just bought a printer and hope to make something half as good.

I enjoy sticking pictures of made-up businesses or figures pulled from games, shows, films, comics, and other pop media. A couple examples show up below. I'd love to grab the upgraded unit yet struggle to find reasons for the expense since I already have the prior model and keep working through the first label supply.

ClearQuill84archiveMay 12

Just awaiting delivery of a printer from the site. Do you think the labels I ordered 3cm/1.5cm will be fine?

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @AmberAnchor96

I’ll actually be testing the cheap special here very soon on printed sticker paper, see how that goes.

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 12

I'm putting together various color choices so the different peptides are easier to tell apart. By tonight I should be done and then I'll put the file up in our shared online space for everyone to get to.

ClearQuill84archiveMay 12

I am curious which dimensions of stickers fit well onto 3ml vials.

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @ClearQuill84

Anything below 5cm x 2cm would work great.

BlueBeacon98archiveMay 12

Thank you for giving back, these are really nice labels.

I'm really excited about how great these look and I adore them completely. I placed an order for a printing gadget recently however it appears unable to produce colors therefore I may have some created specially to fit a few bottles since they are fantastic!

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 12

Updated the shared folder with the updated coloured and textured options, enjoy.

PlainAlder11archiveMay 12

My compact labeler from an online shop suits my needs fine. Containers stay tucked in their holder inside the icebox where nobody notices them. It helps me mark which is which since I own quite a few. I like those ones too.

The forty by twenty millimeter stickers proved superior for my three milliliter containers. There are many color varieties available besides.

AmberCompass48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @WarmAnchor26

Someone has already put these together. A creative type uploaded them onto a messaging service under a certain handle, making it possible for folks to get them directly. I adjust them a little and put in dates prior to distributing copies to people. I never expected to succeed as a drug seller once more, but look at us now 😅🤣😂

ClearQuill84archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @WarmLantern83

I went ahead and requested the thirty by fifteen millimeter version, which ought to turn out fine.

AmberCompass48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @SlowSparrow78

Color isn't an option here yet multicolored tags remain possible by using assorted tint ribbons along with adhesive decals. I put together a few sample tubes the other day. They came out looking really crisp.

CopperMeadow80archiveMay 12

Those look cool friend. Creating stuff is my thing as well, though I'm just starting out with posts on this site and haven't figured out if putting mine up is allowed right now.

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @CopperMeadow80

I've spotted you across seller communities and picked up on your location down under. Turns out your work sparked my plan for creating tags to support fellow users, since options remain scarce for these substances. The designs you produced look fantastic. Just steer clear of any origin talks, though sharing them here works fine.

CopperMeadow80archiveMay 12

Glad to get that feedback, pal! Really honored by it. Hit me up with any inquiries and I'll return the favor. Tagging the packages turns out enjoyable, with imagination having no bounds 💪🤙

SlowSparrow78archiveMay 12

They look so good, you use a printer too? I ordered the basic model.

AmberCompass48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @SlowSparrow78

Unfortunately those belong to the basic printer line I started out using myself with the compact versions. I felt envious once I saw what the bigger capacity model could handle with extra room yet the same resolution. It also works with special effect stickers plus alternate ribbon choices so the early units now sit unused while the main printer handles everything for me. I returned the entry level one and switched over to the upgraded version instead. I looked into the related group for additional info. For moving any larger peptide amounts an inkjet would be my pick but the stickers from this device come across as very authentic for my own needs plus those of around twenty or thirty others.

SlowSparrow78archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @AmberCompass48

I couldn't decide whether to get the fancy version or stick with what I picked, but since I'm just marking things for myself and sharing a bit with buddies to check their reaction, the simpler choice made sense. Still, I suspect an upgrade is coming pretty quickly. The initial shipment is due in a day, with the device following right after, and I can't stand the idea of returning it to wait extra time. So I'll run with this setup briefly before moving up.

AmberCompass48archiveMay 12
↳ replying to @SlowSparrow78

I did the same as you. I was like nah, I don’t need that fancy stuff, yet again, here we are.

holographic labels are my favorite thing to apply

I attached a few basic tags to help me recall the contents of each one.

SlowSparrow78archiveMay 13
↳ replying to @AmberCompass48

Those Vegeta stickers have me hooked! 😍😂 Does that mean the device I just received won't handle it? 🥲 I could try it out for learning. Now I'm craving labels from DBZ and One Piece too lol

WryHarbour70archiveMay 13

All these replies are leaving me ashamed as I merely jotted the initials onto a pair of adhesive strips after blending the contents. The writing implement fails to mark effectively upon it.

PlainAlder11archiveMay 13
↳ replying to @PlainAlder11

I took the case out for a bit and snapped a photo of my basic labels.

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 13

I'm looking over everything and doing additional changes to perk up the other labels 🙂

CopperAlder25archiveMay 13

My portable tag printer came with software that doesn't give many choices when coming up with original content. Wonder if there are any non official programs to generate stickers with this unit?

RustBeacon82archiveMay 13

These tags posted look fantastic. I enjoy experimenting with the M2 device to design cute little stickers for the peps. The round ones that go on vial lids are especially useful as I can spot which is which without removing anything. Some examples I've done include ones for the pens plus transparent circles for the vial caps. Also included a few more for the vials themselves.

CopperBeacon48archiveMay 13

I'd gladly create some monochrome stickers for folks with those machines if you let me have a bit of time to prepare them before uploading everything to the shared folder so anyone can grab a copy.

GreenPebble78archiveMay 13
↳ replying to @AmberCompass48

How do you make such nice looking labels on that model.

LevelCinder96archiveMay 14

I'm wondering what equipment others rely on to create these. One model looks like it could work well, but I'm seeking different alternatives.

PlainAlder11archiveMay 17

Appreciate the response. My search was actually for the polished version. Right now it seems they stopped making that for the D110.

PatientFenwick39archiveMay 17
↳ replying to @PlainAlder11

Yeah, they don't. That's why I've got a different model recently.
