Or Upload Your Own DesignHow can I change the font?
You can pick a font, the size, style (left, centered, right or evenly justified), color (shown below after I clicked on the A). It will be regular but you can click on bold or italic if you prefer.
What font should I use?
Several different fonts are provided that can give varying looks.
- Arial is sans serif, and is always clean and simple.
- Don't overdo the number of fonts you use. Usually one for "display" font and a second for "message" font look great.
- Avoid using ALL-CAPS with a script font
Why does some of the text on my label appear sideways?
When you are previewing your label, the wine information (displayed in black) will appear sideways to fit conveniently on the label without taking up too much space. You do not need to rotate your artwork, photo, etc. Everything inside of the black panels should appear (and will print) upright. Please see below for an example of what your content direction should look like.

What is the best color to use for my font?
Make the contrast as high as possible so it shows up against the background.
- For dark backgrounds use white, yellow or pale colors.
- For a light background, use black or a dark shade.
- Avoid using very small or very thin fonts on a very dark background, as the ink may "close up" around the fonts and make them difficult to read.
What size should I make my font?
It depends how long your message is and if it is all equal in importance. Often, we suggest you make one larger "display" line followed by one or two smaller "message" lines.
- Point size 8 is the smallest that is usually legible.
- Point size 18 is the largest that usually looks good for multiple lines
- Point size 22 is the largest that looks good if the message is simple and just one line
What photos work best?
The subject and colors are up to you (within reason!) Choose something that shows up against your background and is not too busy. If it's a photo you'd want to frame, it will probably look great on a wine label!
- Important! Make sure your photo is big enough- at least 300 dpi.
What file types can I upload?
For best results, use a high-quality JPEG file of at least 300 dpi.
What does 300 dpi mean?
DPI stands for "dots per inch". The more dots, the closer they are together and the better it is for printing. If your file is too small, it can be grainy looking or have jaggy digital artifacts. How to tell?
- If your camera or phone is set for high-resolution (Medium, Large or Fine file size) your label should print fine. If you are using a default setting, it may be a size that is too small to print, particularly if you zoom in tight on a small portion of a photo
- Anything about 3 megapixels from your camera will print well, provided it's not zoomed in too tightly
- Often photos that have been emailed, obtained from Facebook or other photo sharing sites may be too grainy to print properly. If you have the option, always download a high-resolution, large file version of a photo
- Important! It's illegal to download copyrighted images or photos and reproduce without permission. Team logos, famous characters and copyrighted works of art are all off-limits and may be rejected once your order is processed.
Can I adjust my photos?
Yes, once you upload a photo, you can rotate, scale, or move your picture until it's framed how you like it. The label maker is unable to make any color corrections, red-eye removal or other photo edits, you will need to use your favorite photo editor, such as Adobe Photoshop or Google's free Photos (opens in a new window) software before you upload your photo.
Are the labels waterproof?
Most of our custom labels use a gloss-coated paper and are water resistant, however they are not waterproof. Any prolonged exposure to water or ice will cause damage. If you plan to leave submerged in ice or expose to water, we suggest the following:
- Every bottle is enclosed in a plastic sleeve when shipping. Leave this sleeve on the wine as long as possible before serving.
- When placing in ice, position so that the back half of the bottle is being submerged and the front label is not in contact.
- Opt for a wine cooler or store in fridge to cool, rather than in ice.
