yeah, that was my first thought, standard material and lam, just wasn't sure how durable that is in a shower/wet enviroment....

I would like to know also. I've gotten a couple inquires recently for water proof labels, for beer bottles.

I've noticed the beer bottle labels and shower type bottles labels are similar, more of a paper than vinyl.

I did some labels for my kids sip cups for daycare. I used Oracal 3165 with a standard matte laminate and they have been holding up great for over 3 years and at least one trip through the dishwasher per week.

I would just say that you should test first, as most of those bottles used in shower/cosmetic product packaging are low surface energy. Might be better off using a high tack made for low energy substrates, but you might be lucky and get away... just test first.

I do labels all the time. Printable vinyl will. Do even need to laminate.

I'll ask a buddy, how his shower doll I did a few yrs ago for him has held up. I printed a full size beauty for him to shower with every morning. Its been 2 yrs now. Think it was a fiberglass shower stall , if I remember right.
