Mr. Knight and I bought and labeled 180 Water bottles with our custom designs for about .30 cents a piece!
Here are the labels I designed using a template online (blank templates were available through Online Labels, the company we ordered our labels from) and photoshop:
And here is the transformaion from boring Aquafina labels to Snazzy Modern labels!!
Here is the cost breakdown:
192 Aquafina Water Bottles bought at Sam’s Club $31.26
180 Labels from Online Labels (including shipping) $22.34
Printing $0 (Fabulous Lexmark Color Laser Printer we have)
Mr. Knight’s Labor paid through kisses :-)
TOTAL: $53.60 Which comes out to about .30 cents a water bottle

I love this!!!! I'm so glad you posted this because I've been looking EVERYWHERE for affordable water bottle labels and I didn't have a clue about this site! Do you know the type of labels you purchased from the site? Did you get waterproof, glossy, etc? Thanks for sharing this! :)
@Scrchik17: We got the polyester waterproof labels. On their site they are under 'water bottle labels'. They were such a good deal, and since the company is in the same state we live in (Florida), we got the labels within 2 days of ordering them! We even ordered wrap around address labels from them!
Thank you, this is SO awesome. I am working right now to design mine in word since I don't have photoshop. Do you know what size bottles you used? Are they the 16.9 oz?
I'm so glad I was able to help everyone out! This was super fun and super easy, and is making a wonderful added detail to our wedding! We are working on our invitations, as I type, will post those DIY lovelies soon!
I am goggling and about to pull my hair out! But, I just came onto your beautiful water bottles label post and I just had to sit for a while and say aaahhhhh!!!!!! They are so refreshing! Anywhoo, the reason I was goggling is - I am trying to make water bottle labels for a baby shower (in a week - no pressure) and for my best friends daughter's wedding May 14th! I have photoshop elements 6, but I'm not real good with it or working in layers, but I'm trying! Do you have any hints or tutorials you can give for adding the great backgrounds and borders! I just love the Kimberly and Kyle with the love birds!!!!! My baby shower is birds and I am using the birds that were on the invite, but they need a great background design and I am not sure how. My wedding ones are going to be kinda boring, because they are not using color. Just black, white and a little silver. She is having it at an old civil war house and she wants it to be very southern looking, so I have very scrolly fonts and I have done one that has a damask design, don't ask how I even managed that! But if I could find a magnolia flower or gardenia and do one like your flower, that would be pretty too. Any help you can give us would be great! I just love your wedding colors too!
Thank you again so much for the inspiration! I used the same company and they were wonderful to deal with. I just used cheap water bottles that we picked up from Costco. The labels were easy to print and did not bleed at all when chilled on ice (we tested by soaking them in water overnight).

posted by rgmcmanus 2 years agoWhat model of Lexmark color printer do you own? Did you have any problems with the ink running once the bottles were in the ice bucket?
