The
following are free PDF files of various labels taken
from original items. Feel free to use them in
your impression. It is recommended when
possible, to
print these using a laser printer. This will
prevent the ink from running when damp or wet.
If using an inkjet printer, you could also use spray
on ink sealant as well. Enjoy!

Belgium
Can Label
I have been
told that these labels are from
the 1930s, but
unfortunately I have yet to
confirm this. Even so, they
look like period civilian labels
& are a lot better than some
others being used in the hobby.
These will fit on the standard
modern food can. You will
want to print this out on a
gold/yellow or white cardstock
paper (cardstock will help prevent
the modern ribbing of today's cans
from showing).

German
Wine Label
An original
German Marcobrunner wine label
(Rhine) dated 1940. You will
note that this is not your usual
"Party" wine label, as
it has no swastikas on it.
Weird....but they did exist during
the war. This should be
printed on off-white paper.

Hautentgiftungsmittel
Label
Finally, here
is a label you can put on those
anti-gas skin salve containers
that never seem to have them when
you find them. Just print
this out on a heavy tan paper
& glue them on. To hold
the lid closed, they used a
5/8"-wide cloth tape colored
to indicate the date of
manufacture: red (up to 1940),
black (1941), light green (1942),
& yellow (1943).
