Bottle Labels

Bottle Label Printing

Offer wineries and beer makers an easy and inexpensive method of adding their branding to their product with our Bottle Labels.

Pro Tip: We suggest you don't add borders around labels as there is a 2mm tolerance meaning the borders might not be centred.

• 11 specialist materials for professional bottle labelling

• Sizes 10x10mm up to 300x300mm, cut to any shape and printed in full colour

• Supplied on a roll with a 76mm core.

• UK shipping is free,, exceptions apply.

What shape do you require?

We offer all shapes! Select Circle, Oval, Square, Rectangle or Custom.If you would like a circle or a square then please ensure your dimensions are equal e.g. width = 20mm and height = 20mm.  Please only supply a cutting guide if you are printing a custom shape. 

Manual Application Options:

Depending on how your label is being applied, you may need to consider the gap you need between the labels and the orientation / direction the label comes off the roll. For example if they are being cut to individuals, you can increase the distance between each label to make it easier to cut.

Orientation:

You can choose which way your design comes off the roll, making it easier for people to apply.

Roll size:

The drop-down menus will change according to the style of sticker or label you choose so you’ll only see sizes that work for the size of label you have selected.

The number of labels across the roll will depend on the size of the label, the orientation and the roll size selected. Our manufacturing process is designed to fit as many across the roll as possible to fully utilise the material. If you choose the smallest possible roll size available (depending on other selections) the labels will usually be supplied 1up, however there are exceptions on smaller label sizes (approx 25-44mm) which will be a minimum of 2up. If you choose a larger roll size then the number of labels across the roll will be greater.

Are you looking for an extra finish such as hot foil?

We offer Gold or Siver Hot foil stamping on to some of our papers. We also can apply a raised gloss varnish to really help your label stand out. Simple select the one you require and tell us where to apply it in your print files. 

Please note: Special finishes are only available on our largest (33cm) roll.

Do you want a varnished or laminated finish to your stickers?

Our labels come with a protected anti-scratch varnish as standard but if you want to up the ante for an impregnable finish you can add a matt or gloss lamination to them.

What exactly is mirror printing?

If you are printing on transparent materials, you can select mirror printing as an option so that the labels can be applied to the inside of a window for viewing from the outside.

Need to print in white ink? 

That's no problem.  White ink is used as an underpin which effectively means that it acts as an undercoat to make colours appear solid or it can be used on its own as part of your design.

Your artwork will speak for itself on this, so please follow the instructions in the artwork guide at the bottom of this page.

Are you looking for a more environmentally friendly option?

For the most environmentally friendly label option, choose either natural white paper or uncoated paper. The labels are unlaminated, therefore can be recycled when applied to a cardboard or paper product.

Our Polypropylene (PP) labels can be recycled provided they are affixed to either a polypropylene or a polyethylene product; both plastics can be recycled together.

Check out our Labels for Labelling Machines page if you need to alter image positons or label gaps.

UK shipping is free, exceptions apply.
