How to Make Wine Labels
If you make your own wine, or simply want to spruce up a wine bottle for a party, you can make wine labels with two Microsoft programs: Microsoft Office and Microsoft Publisher. These programs allow you to customize your own wine labels with text and graphics. Impress your guests with your own bottle of wine customized to suit the theme of the party. Designing your own wine labels is simple after you familiarize yourself with the basics of these programs.

Open the Microsoft Publisher Catalog. Choose “Labels” and then select “Borders Shipping Label.” You will see a button that says “Start Wizard.” Select this option, and then choose “Finish.”

Select the “Business Name” box and hit delete on your keyboard. You will also need to delete the line under the box, and the business logo. If you do not know where the delete button is on your keyboard, simply right-click on each object and select “Cut.”

Use the “Label Wizard” box on the left side of your screen. Choose the “Color Scheme” for your wine label.

Choose the “Primary Business Address” box and change the text with the font options located on the tool bar. You can add any text in this box that you will want displayed on the wine label. Try changing the size, color and style of the text to suit the theme of your wine bottle. Once you change the text in the “Primary Business Address” box, select the “Mailing Address” box and elect to change the text. Use the “Text Frame” tool to add any additional text.

Select each box and drag it to the center of your wine label. Insert a picture to your label by selecting the “Insert” menu, selecting “Picture” and clicking “Clip Art.” In the search box you can look for clip art to match your wine bottle. Select the image you want, and click “Insert Clip Art.” You can change the size of the clip art by dragging any of the corners to resize the image.

Print the wine labels on sticker paper. Select “Print” from the “File Menu.” Once the label prints, cut it out with scissors and stick it on to your bottle.

Make Wine Labels with Microsoft Word
Step 1

Open a new document in Microsoft Word. When the “New Document” window opens, select “Labels” on the left side of the box and choose “Mailing and Shipping” and then click “Business Labels.” Select the appropriate size label for your wine bottle.

Step 2

Highlight the text on each label and hit the backspace or delete button on the keyboard. Use the “Tool Bar” to add your own text. You can experiment with the size, color and font style of your text.

Step 3

Choose the “Insert” tab located on the toolbar. Select to insert a “Picture” or “Clip Art.” When you select to insert a picture, you will need to locate it on your computer. Once you select to insert clip art, a search box will appear on the right side of the screen. Type any keywords to find the appropriate clip art for the wine label.

Step 4

Use the “Insert” tab to add more details to your wine label. You can add another text box, draw a shape and even add a border and background color to your label.

Step 5

Select “Print” from the “File Menu.” Select “Properties” and ensure that you print the label in the highest quality. Once the label prints, cut it out with scissors and stick it onto your wine bottle.

Automated Data Labeling vs Manual Data Labeling: Optimizing Annotation
Accurately labeled datasets are the raw material for the machine and deep learning revolution. Vast quantities of data are required to train new generations of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Correctly labelled images train AI systems to reliably distinguish between a stop sign and pedestrian or between a raised hand and a raised gun. Demand for data labeling for vision-based machine learning is therefore growing rapidly. AI developers increasingly need larger training datasets that maintain the accuracy that is so vital for safety and reliability.

How do we go about creating the accurate, scalable datasets that industry needs? To begin answering this question we first need to consider automated data labeling vs manual data labeling. The differences between these approaches to data labeling point the way forward for smart dataset creation.

Automatic Data Labeling: Machines Training Machines

Automatic data labeling processes have the potential to overcome some of the challenges presented by the laborious annotation cycle. After training from a labeled dataset, a machine learning model can be applied to a set of unlabeled data. The model should then be able predict the appropriate labels for the new dataset. Automated data labeling algorithms can be improved via human input. After the AI has labeled the raw data, a human annotator reviews and verifies the labels. Accurately labeled data can then take its place in the training dataset. If the annotator observes mistakes in the labeling they can then proceed to correct it. This corrected data can then also be used to train the labeling AI.

The Auto-label AI is capable of handling the majority of easily identified labels. This has the advantage of greatly speeding up the initial labeling stage. However, automated data labeling still produces a significant amount of errors that could prove costly when fed through to an AI model.

Manual Data Labeling: The Human Touch
Manual data labeling generally means individual annotators identifying objects in images or video frames. These annotators comb through hundreds of thousands of images hoping to construct comprehensive, quality AI training data. Specific labeling techniques are applied to the raw data depending on the needs of the developer. These techniques include:

Bounding box annotation: A rectangle is drawn around the object in the image allowing an AI to recognise/avoid it. This technique is more common due to its relative simplicity and is therefore more cost effective.

Polygon annotation: In this case the annotator is required to plot vertices around an object in order to more accurately capture its shape.

Semantic segmentation: This is a technique used for grouping together objects in an image e.g. separating roads from buildings. This type of labeling is more precise and therefore more difficult.

Manual data labeling has the potential to be somewhat labour intensive. Each instance of labeling may take seconds but the multiplicative effect of thousands of images could create a backlog and impede a project. This is why many AI developers are opting to use professional data annotation services, such as Keymakr, to produce their machine learning datasets. A managed workforce of experienced annotators is able to scale manual data labeling to the demands of any project. Significant advancements have been made with automated labeling algorithms. However, well-trained human annotators remain the go-to when it comes to precision and quality in training datasets. Manual labeling is able to capture the edge cases that automated systems continue to miss, and knowledgeable human managers are able to ensure quality across huge volumes of data.
