Frequently Asked Questions

    • Alcohol Content: Clearly indicate the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV).
    • Type of Sake: Specify the type or grade of sake, such as Junmai, Ginjo, or Daiginjo.
    • Flavor: Include tasting notes that describe the flavor profile, aroma, and texture of the sake.
    • Country of Origin: State the country where the sake was produced.
    • Legal Requirements: Ensure all legally mandated information is present, including the product name, volume, ingredients, producer information, date of production, government health warnings, and, if applicable, import details.

Additionally, other elements like the brand logo, serving suggestions, historical or cultural information, awards, certifications, design elements, barcode, and QR code can enhance the label’s appeal and usefulness.

Our preferred file formats are Adobe Illustrator or High-Resolution PDF.  You can view our complete artwork file standards checklist here.

  • Before printing your custom sake labels, we will provide a digital proof via email for your approval. This allows you to review your label, confirming details like positioning, color accuracy, text legibility, and more, prior to full production. We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction through this streamlined proofing process.

While Blue Label Packaging does not directly offer label design services, we do have resources to help with your custom label design needs. We maintain a directory of Blue Label Approved designers who specialize in label design and understand the unique requirements and technical details involved. We also showcase a gallery of label designs for inspiration.

Our printers are capable of matching up to 97% of the full color spectrum, allowing us to achieve precise color reproduction for your beer labels. We use advanced CMYK printing to produce an extensive gamut of colors. For designs requiring an expanded range, we also print using WOVG ink sets which add white, orange, violet and green.

Our top-of-the-line color management program and processes ensure we hit the correct hues, tints and shades. We color calibrate and profile all of our presses so your unique color palettes and gradations print true to your vision.
