That’s why Blue Label works closely with distilleries to print the premium bottle labels they need to showcase their spirits.
Blue Label is an award-winning, full-service, digital printing company dedicated to creating eye-catching labels for bourbon and other quality spirits. We partner with distilleries of all sizes across the United States to help them tell their story and communicate the quality of their products.

Case Study
When Urban Coast Wines approached us with a highly detailed label design for a new product launch, they had already experienced setbacks after another printer’s laser die-cutting process damaged the material.
The design featured delicate internal die cuts and thin line embossing, and it needed an alternative production approach that would preserve both the design intent and the label’s functionality.
Through close collaboration with the customer and their designer, our team helped refine the artwork, select the right paper stock that gave them the texture they wanted and the sturdiness they needed, and enhanced the design with layered ink techniques to create depth and dimension.
