LABEL BY TYPE
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.
