Premium wine, olive-oil and spirits labels with special papers and finishes
A wine, olive-oil or spirits label with special papers and finishes is a self-adhesive label printed to order that carries the brand and the legal information on the bottle and stands out through its materials and processes: embossed paper, linen- or cotton-feel paper or water-resistant synthetic paper, hot or cold foil stamping, blind embossing, raised screen printing, soft-touch lamination and spot UV varnish.
The winery or bottler supplies the artwork and the legal information, and the label is printed to that file, with the colour, the foil position and the embossing depth confirmed on a proof.

Frequently asked questions
Which paper should I choose for a wine label?
It depends on the look and the use. Embossed paper, or paper with a linen or cotton feel, gives a fine-paper finish; synthetic paper or a plastic face offers water resistance. It is most practical to decide with the sample book of papers and a proof.
How is a wine label with embossing and hot foil made?
From a file with separate layers for colour, foil and embossing. Hot foil stamping transfers a metallic foil (gold, silver, copper or black) with heat and pressure; blind embossing marks the paper without ink. The foil position and the embossing depth are confirmed on a proof.
Does the label withstand ice buckets and cold storage?
It depends on the face and the adhesive. Plastic faces can resist water and ice buckets, with a permanent adhesive. State the intended use of the bottle; the specific material and its datasheet are confirmed in the offer.
Can a QR code or a serial number be added?
Yes, as an option: it is added to the artwork and can link to an information page for the bottle. The scope is defined in the offer and the content of that page is defined by the winery.
Who defines the mandatory particulars of the label?
The customer. We reproduce the artwork the customer has approved and signed; we do not review or endorse the mandatory particulars for wine, olive oil or spirits.
