Even Labels

[LaurieL]

Does anyone have a trick on how to get labels even on each batch of bottles? My eyes are pretty good, however it would be nice to know if there is an easier way.

My eyes aren't very good and I would like to improve upon my technique as well.

Here is another one that is pretty close to what is posted from Waldo but has some added features on the wood to help you. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and youll see a picture of what I mean.

Laurie, Even with all those gadgets you still have to rely on your eyesight. I am an old man and I still use my eyesight to align the labels.

Laurie, I eyeball mine and get a crooked one every once in awhile.

I have a peanut can that is larger than the bottles with a block of wood inside to get the label at the height I want. I set the bottle on the block of wood and then use the top of the can to guide the label on straight. works pretty good.

I made me one of those things that Waldo posted the link for. It was real simple to make and it works!

RRawhide posted this picture recently. It is a good example of a label applying aide.
