Absinthe Bottle Labels
Absinthe Bottle Labels
We print custom absinthe labels for distilleries and craft spirits makers, die-cut into custom shapes for your bottles. Absinthe is traditionally served by dripping ice water over a sugar cube, so the bottle often sits on a wet bar next to an absinthe fountain. We usually print absinthe labels on paper, as with most spirits, and add a protective varnish against moisture and scuffs. Matte or satin coatings give the label a softer texture. Foil stamping in metallic or holographic foil, embossing, and spot UV can highlight a logo or illustration.
We work with businesses of every size. There’s no minimum order, and quotes come back within 24 hours. Most standard labels print within 5 business days of artwork approval, and we ship nationwide.
