Any design from Best Welcome Bags can be created for any event and applied to any label we offer, as well as your own artwork, photo, or corporate logo.  All labels from Best Welcome Bags have adhesive backs, simply peel and stick.All Best welcome bag products are professionally printed. The labels are the same consistency as the label on the pickle jar in your fridge. They hold up well to condensation, but I wouldn't submerge them in ice water for extended time. I don’t recommend the waterproof labels. They don't print well, they feel greasy and smell like petroleum. The prices below are reflective of a single static graphic per minimum run. Labels with variable text (for mini bottle place cards or personalized favors) are available at Contact  Tina@BestWelcomeBags.com  with any questions.

How to stuff the Best Welcome Bags

This list will provide you with every link you need to create the best welcome bag for your out-of-town hotel guests. Personal Care Items  While stuffing, remember that most hotels provide soap, shampoo, etc… so don’t waste your $$ there. Bathroom items guests forget most often are a razor, toothbrush, and aspirin or ibuprofen.  Other great items are destination related, like sunscreen’s a great stuffer for beach weddings, while bug repellent is a good one for your forest nuptials.  Minimus  is an amazing site.  There’s nothing you can’t find there in cute little single-sizes…BUT it can be really pricey. I also like  TravelStuff4u  There’s no edibles there, but they have a great selection of outdoors and all natural products. If you’re not concerned with brand names I highly recommend  DollarTree  online.  You can really save money there.   Snacks Really Matter  I love  WorldMarket   I think shopping quantity at World Market is better online than in their stores.

Water Bottle Labels An 8" x 2" label fits water bottles from mini to standard 17 oz. I don’t recommend the waterproof labels. They don't print well, they feel greasy and smell like petroleum. The labels I use at  BestWelcomeBags  are the same as the label on the pickle jar in your fridge. They hold up well to condensation. I've run them under the faucet and they dried well, but I wouldn't submerge them in ice water for extended time.  Choosing the best water bottle for your labels The best water bottles to use can be found at any grocer or super store that sells water bottle by the case. It’s an inexpensive generic brand with a plastic sleeve that's only tacked on. It comes off easily. Make sure the bottle isn't entirely ribbed. There needs to be a smooth area. They're not hard to find. I've sold hundreds of thousands of labels and to the best if my knowledge never had a customer stranded for bottles. Click to view examples of water bo
