Photography Question

For you photo experts out there:

A couple of times a year I will need to take photos of wine bottles. Typically I need a pure white background. 80% of the usage is for a website, the balance for print literature that will be color laser printed (not high quality offset).

So I can hire a commercial photographer - figure $200 to $500 depending on the number of shots, but the quality is probably overkill for what I need.

Or I can buy a roll of seamless background paper and pick up something like this (on sale for $35) for shadow-free lighting:



Is that all I need / Is that all there is to this? Or do I need two of those? I think the portable white box is too small (when we do a three bottle shot with a box).

Or should I leave it to the pros?

Thanks,

Don
