How to apply your custom wine labels

We’ve made it super easy to turn any bottle into a personalized keepsake! Follow these simple steps for the best results:

Step 1: Prep Your Bottle

Start with a clean surface so your new label sticks perfectly. Fill your sink or a tub with warm, soapy water. Soak the bottle for about 10–15 minutes to loosen the original label. Gently peel it off, then remove any sticky residue with a sponge or rubbing alcohol.

Dry the bottle completely before moving on.

Step 2: Get Ready to Apply

Lay the bottle flat on a towel so it doesn’t roll away.
Peel your new label from the backing and hold it in a U-shape—with the middle section slightly lower than the sides.

Step 3: Stick It On

Line up the label where you want it. Press down the center first, then smooth outward toward each side. This helps avoid bubbles or wrinkles for a smooth, professional look.

Step 4: Cheers!

That’s it! Your bottle is officially party-ready. Snap a pic, tag us at @HappyDayPaper, and show off your custom creation — we love seeing your happy days come to life!

Label Sizes + Choosing Your Bottle

It's important to choose a bottle that is straight for the entire height of the label to avoid air bubbles and make your label look as professional as possible. We've made a way to print a test sheet at home and see the sizes of the labels and what fits your favorite wine the best.
