Labels have many different applications and can be used at different stages of production for providing relevant information. Depending on the requirements, the labels must combine several characteristics: the design must meet all the needs of both the product and the customer; the information must comply with the legal and regulatory requirements; the materials should be selected according to the purpose and conditions.
Labels for glass
Labels for glass wine bottles are often distinguished by selecting very high-quality materials. On the one hand, the texture, thickness, and density of the material (media) affect the overall feeling of the product. On the other hand, many types of wine can be stored for a long time in glass bottles under specific conditions, which creates the need for high label durability.
Regardless of whether the labels for storing wine in glass bottles and at the time of sale are the same, they must be strong, tightly adhered with high-quality glue and keep the necessary information about the drink for whenever it’s needed. Finally, the visual combination of the glass surface and the skillfully crafted label can create a wonderful appearance of the product.
Labels for plastic
When producers use plastic bottles for wine distribution, they can often achieve an interesting shape of the bottle. In these cases, the contour and the location of the label can complement the appearance and make it more interesting. Great visual results can also be achieved by combining the colors chosen for the label, the bottle color and the drink’s hue.
Using different media and selecting impressive finishing effects, will make the labels beautiful and attractive. The properly selected glue will assure they will remain tightly glued even in unfavorable conditions. At Rotoprint we have lots of experience in printing wine labels for plastic bottles.
Box labels
The boxes for delivery, distribution, and storage of bottles of wine come in various sizes according to their purpose. They are dominated by functionality, so the material from which they are made has its own specific characteristics. The labels on wine cartons need to be in line with these characteristics to serve their function. Their purpose is much more informative than aesthetic.
Small or large text, symbols, barcodes - labels for gluing on cartons may have different elements, tailored to the transport, legal and other requirements. However, it’s possible for the box to have an aesthetic function, for example in gift sets. The possibilities for achieving a spectacular look are great, including for short runs.
