Planning on getting some labels made, and need some inspiration so i was hoping everyone (who has done this) could post a picture of there own custom labels for me to see, and be inspired by,
Books with photos of custom labels? Any recommendations?
Yup. A lot of them are examples from major brands (Quicksilver, ecko, etc.) rather than independents, but they represent a massive range of graphic design. I borrowed a few books from the library, so I don't have them to hand to check titles. I'll see if I can find them on amazon.
...but it's broader than just labels, and I don't think there'd be any clothing labels (fine for design inspiration though). My experience with Rockport design books is that they're never the best or the worst in their field. Worth buying if you want a lot of books on the subject or can't find anything else, not worth buying if you're on a tight budget and can find something that looks better.
Where ever you go to get the labels done will more than likely have a giant catalogue of lables they have done in the past. When I went to get mine done they showed me a portfolio of different types/sizes/colors. If you're going the online route then this is obviously not an option. Goodluck though.
I tend to think that the transfer labels look a lot better and most of the big players are going down that line... keeping it simple with just the brand name
i spoke to the man who does all of tsubi, quicksilver, ripcurl, volcom, etc
he showed me through his factory where he makes the transfers
for shirts and labels... then they ship to china to be applied to the stock
bonds is also doing it and the finished result is cleaner
