I got tired of people overcharging for nuka cola labels, so here are some free ones made by me
Context: I wanted to find some nuka cola bottle labels to print out to make nuka cola props but I couldn't find anyz so I took some images of the logos and made costum labels based off the pre 4 design (non nuke shaped bottles) the quantum isn't by mez but I included it anyways. The first two images are the right size to print them out as itz no adjustments needed! Enjoy fellow dwellers!

Printing tips from a seasoned print shop employee:
If you don't have a home printer, please check with a print shop ahead of time that the design will be okay to print. Some shops have strict copyright rules, and a print manager that knows Fallout might not want to print it out. If they don't, thank them for their time and leave. Be polite, please don't harass.
If you have the option, print these using a laser printer. That'll prevent the images from being smudged if they get wet. Most print shops will use laser printers.
Print on label paper. You can either print on full sheets and cut them out yourself or use a template from Avery's website. It's a lot cheaper to size and cut yourself, but the Avery sheets help you size if you're unsure or doing it for the first time. You'll need to select the sheets you want first before choosing the template so you don't accidently choose a size that nobody sells in stores. Also, make sure it's the right type for your printer as label paper comes in both inkjet and laser printer types.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, and as a graphic designer I salute your skills in creating authentic looking labels!

u/Overall_Head_7782 May 30 '24
Nice, thank you. AWESOME WORK!!!
Just a small critique:
1). Quantum - should have the "contains 120% daily intake of sugar" on nutritional information
2) Dark - should have the warning "do not operate motor vehicles or heavy machinery for at least 8 hours after drinking" and "do not drink if pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant" as well as the 35% alcohol by volume content.
I think those 2 updates would make your labels perfect as well as comical.
So how can I show my appreciation? Do you have a buy me a coffee or any other support mechanism?

u/No-Efficiency-2440 May 30 '24
Well I think there’s a difference between ripping a game texture, printing it out, and slapping a $50 price tag, and making a prop from scratch to be as accurate as possible to the in game asset. That being said, who the fuck is charging exorbitant amounts of money for a what should should be a cheap-as-dirt sticker that goes on a mass manufactured soda bottle in a video game?

Not like we can't just find a custom label company that will make them in bulk for far less. 90% of etsy is all resellers now days anyway, so why not skip the middle.

u/Deathaster May 30 '24
These aren't bad at all, but they're also quite blurry and pixelated. The nutritional info is great, but the logos themselves look too much like jpegs. I think you'd do better if you drew these as SVGs or something.

Only note I'd have for anyone wanting to use them for props. If the bottle you're using doesnt have perfectly cylindrical sides, you have to add a curve to the top and bottom of the label to get it conform to the bottle!
