Custom Beverage Labels

All of them. We print custom beverage labels for RTD and canned cocktails, kombucha, cold brew and coffee, cider, soda and sparkling water, juice, and tea. Each category has its own page with the materials and finishes that work best for that product. If your drink isn’t on the list, we can still help. We’ve printed labels for just about every beverage you can think of.

Yes. Multi-flavor lineups are one of our most common projects. You can run several drinks in one order, each with its own artwork, nutrition panel, and lot code, without paying a separate minimum for each one.

Waterproof BOPP or film with a strong cold-temperature adhesive. These materials stay put and stay bright through refrigeration, condensation, and ice baths, so your labels don’t curl, bubble, or peel when someone pulls a can or bottle out of the cooler. We’ll recommend the right material for your container and how it’s stored before you order.

Yes, our labels are designed to stay on securely, even in varying temperature ranges. Here’s how we do it:

• • Temperature-Resistant Materials: We use materials like BOPP or vinyl that are resistant to moisture and condensation, so the labels hold up in both warm and cold temperatures.
  • Strong Adhesive: Our labels feature a strong adhesive specifically designed to perform well under fluctuating conditions, from shipping to refrigeration.
  • Protective Coatings: We add lamination or UV coatings to further protect the label from moisture, scratches, and temperature changes.

We offer a wide range of customization options to make your specialty beverage labels stand out. Here’s what we can do:

• • Custom Shapes and Sizes: Whether you need classic standard shapes and sizes like rectangles and circles or custom shapes (die-cut or kiss-cut) to match your custom design, we can create the perfect fit for your packaging.
  • Finishes: Choose from a variety of finishes, including gloss, matte, and spot UV coatings, to enhance your label’s appearance and durability.
  • Printing Techniques: We offer options like digital printing for vibrant, full-color designs, screen printing for added texture, and foil stamping for a premium metallic look.

When it comes to applying labels to your custom beverage bottles, consider these things to make sure the labels adhere securely:

• • Dry Surface: The application surface needs to be completely clean and free of dust, oils, or moisture. A dry surface helps labels bond properly.
  • Temperature Range: It’s important to apply the labels within a stable temperature range to avoid issues with the adhesive. Extreme heat or cold can affect how well the labels stick to the bottles.
  • Sufficient Drying Time: After applying the labels, allowing sufficient drying time helps adhesive set properly, especially if your bottles will be exposed to cold or humid environments.
  • Labels and Surface Compatibility: The label adhesive should be matched to the specific application surface (whether glass, plastic, or aluminum) so that it holds up during handling, shipping, and storage.
  • Tools for Application: For large quantities, using the right tools like automated labeling machines ensures even pressure and precision, resulting in a smooth, wrinkle-free application.

We offer shipping through several vendors like UPS, Fedex, and USPS. Ground, Next-Day, 2-Day, 3-Day, and custom freight options.

Before printing your custom specialty beverage 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.
