Anyone have experience with custom packaging?

Looking to create custom stickers for Mason Jars, Miron Jars, and Mylars. Anyone been down this road?

What size mason for 1 Oz flower?

Would you hire a graphic designer and then pay to have it printed at like FedEx?

Would you pay the people at these online packaging to create the labels?

Would you do it yourself on illustrator? ( I would have to go to the library to learn and do it myself , no computer at home I can do this work on).

I am looking at these sites

Thank you

It depends how complicated you want to get.

I have a librarian type stamp and I use Avery print at home labels with their templates. They fit on coin flips. But my design is simple so it works on a small label. Yours may or may not.

So I stamp the top part of the card and tape the seeds/flip/label underneath on the bottom sides.

Lots of ways to do it.

Big jars to label, I slap a small sticker on them and write details by hand.

I’ve been working with a dispensary making them a logo/website/business cards etc.

For product labels if your just labeling and don’t need something pretty and colourful I don’t think you can beat a thermal printer as far as efficiency goes. Probably not worth it to spend your time learning how to design yourself. Pay someone to do it if your not handy with computers etc.

I’d actually avoid peel and stick stickers as much as possible and just order custom printed Mylar bags and stuff like that with whatever would of went on the sticker already printed on the bags. Mind you it’s not cheap and only a reasonable option if you buy the bags in bulk.

If you just want labels for your personal jars, another route is small thermal printers.

The software installs on your phone, talks to the printer over Bluetooth, and comes with lots of fonts, images, and stuff to make a good looking label.
The labels are not too expensive either.

I have one of the Phomemo 220 printers, and use it for everything.

This is strain/pheno dependent. we’ve had 32-ounce mason jars that were full of flower and barely held an oz, and jars that were full of a different strain that weighed two ounces.

We just grow for ourselves and mark the top of the mason lid with the strain name with a black magic marker. When it’s empty, we rub the name off with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel and write the new name. We don’t even bother weighing anymore. It was just personal curiosity at the beginning of legalization.

Now if you’re looking at marketing for sale or just to establish a name, obviously that’s a whole different ball game.

This might work ! Thank you

Thank you!

That makes sense. I think the 32 oz should work for the first few varieties I am working with. Thank you!!

That’s pretty easy if that’s what your looking for…

I can make something like that for you if you like a unique little design. I’ve been known to dabble on photoshop. :wink:

and those stickers/labels are on the smaller size of things you just use an Amazon printing service. It’s relatively cheap in my opinion.

Looking for something just like this. I will dm you

@BagmanCrappy I have used Inkscape a vector graphic program and have made some cool things. Print them at Stickermule, go for their deals you can get lik 50 stickers for 19$. I have made custom shirts for my goalkeepers with logos n such, its rather fun. Pick a program and learn it in and out is the best thing you can do.

Where you the one that did them for our Goji OG?
Those were great. I printed on the vinyl Avery and they are still stuck on the Mylar bags.
