how about bumper stickers or decals I would buy it
how about bumper stickers or decals I would buy it
Hmmm...
I know I couldn't do their logo on a bottle because I have to cut my stencils by hand and that would be too much detail in too small a space. But I am familiar with a company that specializes in sandblasting computer-cut stencils on very small glass tubes. I may have to talk to some people about bulk pricing some etched glass...
Of course I should probably talk to Mom and Pop about whether it would be alright for me to do so first
You might try one of these for stencil/letter cutting. Use "crystal" bottles and adhesive-backed metallic gold tone sheets (or whatever floats yer boat) and a fancy script font. Voila! Mom and young'uns will love it too if they're "crafty" folks. Great gadget.

All else, there are many nice glass stopper perfume bottles available. Use a different style or color for each juice for ID purposes. This is what i'm going to do as I have too much empty shelf space and too many juices.
DANG! it's gonna look like my grandma's nick-nack shelves, sheesh...

Jobs?Lol
Honesty this thread should be a lot more interesting, why? well it's about having a healthy imagination and sharing ideas. In fact it could create JOBS!! for gods sake! we are a family (us vapors) and scuba and I do the best we can, This is not about sales, it is about customer service and sharing opportunities looking at the glass half full ,creating opportunities for other vapors, so with that said i think this is a strange request but normal in my book

Oh just so you know it will have to have a M&P flavor type thingy I want to go back to the diner error you know the Mom and Pop thingy.
Bless you!
Thanks for the suggestions
Etching is no problem, I've a bit of experience there--and have hand-cut some rather elaborate stencils. The problem is that they were stencils for quart-sized containers and even I don't store that much juice at a time. The Cricut is useless because they actively refuse to allow you to do any sort of custom designs, going so far as to sue the company that had software that added that feature and to sell a program they say adds the ability to make custom designs but which only allows you to combine images from their over-priced cartridges without having to load each cart individually. I have a cricut that has sat unused for over a year because I can do anything it can do faster and easier by hand.
The Cricut is great for what it does, but what it does is far too limited to be of any use to me at all
That's good to know. I started to get one for the kids. Now, not. I HATE overly proprietary crap (APPLE! SONY!). Just kidding (NOT!). I'll just get a laser instead. At least I can cut other stuff with it. Get different laser modules for different materials. Could start doing engraving on the side. ) I'll stick to chemical etching I guess, but the stencils going to be a pain. I'm not that coordinated...
