Spirit Labels

Distilleries create a plethora of spirits including gin, whiskey, vodka, rum. Each has its own processes and origins depending on the brand. The drinks market is one of the largest industries and the competition to become a recognised brand is tough, which is why it’s vital to create eye-catching labels that will help your products stand out.

There are several things to consider when it comes to creating your spirit labels. For example, you need to take the environment in which your product will be stored, into consideration; doing this will allow you to choose the most appropriate material type and finish for your spirit labels.

There are many ways to utilise your spirit label to bring added value to the product through the use of different materials and embellishments. These can be used to enhance your product brand making the consumer feel confident about their purchase. High-quality materials, foiling, embossing and speciality varnishes can transfer the look and feel of your spirit bottle and transform your product into a premium brand.

Spirit packaging is usually (but not limited to) glass bottles which are often beautifully crafted into sometimes unique shapes and sizes, but their labels are still required by law to include key pieces of information.

What information is required by law on spirits such as gin, whiskey, vodka, rum?

  • Country of origin
  • Quantity of product (e.g. 750ml)
  • Alcoholic strength by volume (if over 1.2%)
  • Supplier company information
  • Allergy information
  • Use by date

It’s always recommended that a specific adhesive is utilised for spirit bottles due to their wet environment. Here at CS Labels, we have solutions offering different options for adhesives, varnishes and laminates.

If your product required a Duty Stamp, speak to our team and we can advise you on how best to incorporate it into your bottle design, limiting the impact on your design.

Spirit labels often incorporate premium finishes, laminates, foils, and other rich embellishments. Speak to our team about how embellishments can bring added value to your spirit brand.
