What printer should I buy for my labels?

[Phokkit]

Hey everyone!

I have my own hot sauce range that I've started last year. I stopped it temporarily because I've grown my own assortment of chilies. Harvesting will happen in the next month.
Now I want to print my own labels that's of good quality and that does not smudge (easily) for my sauce bottles.
Now I don't have the capital for a expensive commercial label printer (that would be ideal though) .
Someone recommended the following printer :

Brother VC 500W Label Printer White | Techinn

Not sure how good it is ect. I'm planning to print only a couple of hundred labels for this season so it won't really be at mass scale.
Do any of you print your own labels? If so, what are you using? Or what would you recommend?

How many bottles a month are you doing ?

I would say rather buy 1000 from a printing shop instead.

Same reason you don’t print your own photos - a decent enough printer (not even those 11 ink consumer printers are as good as commercial grade) will never pay for itself on a small scale. Have a printing company do it for you.

Rather spend the money on a graphic designer doing a really awesome design for you and save by using a printing store. You won't get good enough quality that is durable etc from the printer mentioned in your post.

I have a print store, that brother label machine is great for sticking onto paper but not so great for bottles.
PM me with the rough size and how many you think you may need and ill send you a quote.

Honestly a good printer costs a fair bit and unless you doing thousands of labels a day it wont be worth getting

I work for an analytical services company that can provide the table of nutritional information for you and all you would have to do is just print the label we provide to you, we can also include a serving size you specify to us in addition to the 100g standard as per regulation R146 pertaining to the labelling and advertising of foodstuffs.

You will have to test after every 3 years or whenever you change the formulation

If you're interested drop me a pm.
