Label over glass?

How do you attach a label over transparent material? Can Blender layer texture over transparent material? Or do you need to select polygon where label is located and UV it on?

do a search on this forum for bottle and label
you’ll find several good thread on thsi subject from last spring
showing different ways of doing this labelling

depends if you need the label to be transparent ect…

but here are some tut on this
