I just design some in whatever you use for that sort of thing (Photoshop, Corel, MS Publlisher, felt tips & a photocopier, etc), cut them out (steel rule & sharp blade neater than scissors) and stick them on my bottles with some of the old fashioned gummy glue stuff from Warehouse Stationary. On of those Glue Sticks works too, or spray-on adhesive if you're feeling professional.

All of the above come off really easily by soaking for a few mins in warm soapy water.

You can buy proper labels to go through your printer but in my experience they're very expensive and a bugger to get off.

There are some cool labels there guys well done....

I've done a few labels for small volume things where I'm not going to re-use the bottles, like wine etc...BUT as beer labels are my most hated of things (I f***n hate spending time cleaning them off the bottles) I just have an "over the cap" label that comes off when I open the beer...

I don't usually label my bottles, but I am lucky enough to have an awesome designer for a friend who does pumpclip labels for me.
