Thread: I'm number one!

......and before anyone gets excited I just opened up the bill

This is not an actual bill but rather an estimate for orders that states a $745.00 minimum but the quantity looks like 80 pcs. I know thats not right! Hmmm......ok, logically the figure is 800 pcs. "Guffaw".....slaps knee, and if my Daddy was a glass maker I'd be sittin in high cotton

OK, I'm still not giving up just yet. I'll try to call tomorrow morning but its rather doubtful they'd be open, but still worth dialing the number. I'll take some pictures for you tomorrow. The bottles are VERY NICE clear flint glass, HEAVY.......which could be bad for shipping but they aren't likely to break either, not even if you dropped it on the floor.

Gentlemen.....I have another cracked tooth, and yes.....I take good care of my chompers. The Doc asked today, " Do you grind your teeth at night ? " and I said No.....no I do not. And then he said, " Do you clinch your teeth at night ?" and I said No, I don't. And he said, "Oh but Mrs. Hurley......I think you do, ( ) two cracked molars in the span of one year

Next Tuesday is my lucky day.

Good Afternooon Gentlemen,

I am still waiting for a response from O.Berk regarding quantity, but I did find out that the figures were 80 pcs per carton, and $745.00 per thousand....shew! This is much better. BUT because it ships from a different warehouse there are restrictions on the Qty. The young lady is supposed to call me back with the minimum.

No....this does not mean I have chosen this bottle over any other.....just sharing the stats with you. In the meantime, I have attached photographs with a mock up for a label idea.

Please be sure to voice your opinion.

OK, here's the scoop.......

The bottles are imported from Italy. They have limited stock, and I can order a minimum of 3 cases or 240 bottles which is very doable for me.

XXWarm Regards, Colleen

Now that really looks good.. I like those bottles alot. Square outstanding.

BIG thumbs-up on the bottles

Is that orifice reducer molded or inserted?

Cheers,
Ed

Afternoon Gents!

The Bottle is all one peice of glass, there is no insert to come loose.....it is all heavy molded glass, "from Italy"....lol....

I'm pleased that so far the comments are good. I wish you could see them in person as the pictures don't quite do them justice, and too it's important to keep in mind that my labels are cut outs of printer paper.

I've also spent hours and hours looking at digital print companies for the labels ( and for TGQ labels ) and low and behold the one company I had thought to use....I don't see there addy....Jimminy Crickett!!! But there are others such as this one www.lightninglabels.com The goal here is to look for companies who will do short runs, as there is no way of knowing at this stage of my business which products are keepers for the long haul, so there is no need to have 10,000 labels printed for one item.

And this is also where Noam comes in. I can't recall if Noam ever received a proper introduction.....but I'll start, He's Tall, Dark and Handsome ...... Actually I have no idea, but I do know that he is a 6th year Art Major, graduated from UCLA ( can't remember ) and has spent the past year in NY at Parson's. So Rich, Noam is in your neighborhood somewhere.

Noam also understands computers, pixells and graphic design......all of which I know nothing, or only enough to get my self into trouble Digital print companies require their information in that "other" language.

It has been my task to put forth some measure of what is inside my brain as far as label design goes, but truthfully after canning 3 or 4 ideas, I really think that the SRP Logo looks very nice, and the colors are excellent. Black and Gold is classy, and timeless.....two very important aspects of the design. Sometimes "less is more" in design and I think it lends to the overall masculine feel.

Now all that said, Noam can take what he sees here on the screen and tweak it a bit on his nifty software program. Clean it up, classy it up......It will be alot of fun to see what he comes up with. Ya know what though....it just occured to me that its Spring Break

As far as "these" bottles are concerned I have until Thursday to place my order, then my contact person will be gone for 2 weeks.....and yes, yes...I suppose I could order them from someone else but I don't want too, cuz he has this really cool jersey accent and he flirts with me on the phone.... chuckle.

They look like winners to me.
