Strong Spirits, Bold Labels

We understand how hard you have worked to manufacture a quality line of spirits, which is why we take our portion of the process very seriously. The spirits industry is a niche well served by K. Sidrane’s expansive list of specialty finishing capabilities, and spirit labels are where those capabilities show most.

Consumers browsing the liquor store shelves often make their decision based on which label will lend the most impressive look to their bar or coffee table. Make sure your branding really pops with eye catching foil, beautiful raised tactile or even holographic details. K. Sidrane’s industry leading labeling and packaging services will ensure your whiskey labels, vodka labels and every other liquor label in your line receive the attention they deserve.

Pressure Sensitive Labels

There are a wide range of pressure sensitive labeling options available for the spirits category. This includes your choice of dozens of paper substrates that vary in texture, tone and gloss, water resistant labels with specialty adhesives to ensure they stay on the bottle when submerged in ice, and premium film substrates for a sleeker look. Most custom liquor labels start here.

Multi-Panel Labels

Every brand has a story to tell, and our multi-panel labels give yours the perfect medium to tell that story. Whether you want to provide consumers with a peek into the inner workings of your company, or you want to share some mixology tips on some of the most delicious cocktails to make using your liquor, our peelback or Xtra Text labels make the perfect solution.

While most commercial label printing companies only use colored inks on the outward facing section of multi-panel labels, K. Sidrane has the technology to produce vivid four color inner panels. This unique offering helps make your brand more memorable and increases the probability of turning a first time customer into a repeat buyer.

Hang Tags

Bottleneck hang tags are a great way to draw attention to a newly released line of spirits. At K. Sidrane, our industry leading turnaround times and customer service help ensure that your custom designed hang tags will be ready right when you need them. Hang tags can also be used as a unique medium to feature a promotion or a place to provide consumers with additional product information. K. Sidrane’s hang tags are available in a variety of substrates and can be specialty die cut to accentuate your overall packaging design. They are available with different colored cotton, elastic, jute, twine, satin or pearlized strings. Hang tags arrive precut and strung to your perfect length.

Specialty Finishes & Overlaminates

As many lines of spirits are produced in relatively small quantities, our specialty labeling options are a popular choice to both enhance your product’s visual appeal and highlight a limited release item. At K. Sidrane, we offer a variety of luxury finishes, overlaminates and specialty labeling services for spirits label printing, including:

Embossing
Debossing
Foil Stamping
Premium Soft-Touch Matte Lamination
Specialty Textured Overlaminates (inquire for samples)
Holographic Lamination
Imprintable Lamination
Spot UV Varnish
Tactile UV Coating

What a Spirits Label Has to Carry

A spirits label carries more mandatory copy than most brands expect, and federal approval is the step that delays launches. The design has to make room for it before it makes room for anything else.

What the Label Has to Carry

A spirits label carries a brand name, a class and type designation, alcohol content, net contents, the name and address of the bottler, and the required government warning. Every element has rules on placement and minimum type size, and federal approval is required before a label can be used. Requirements change and vary by product and market, so confirm the current rules with your regulatory advisor before going to print. What that means for the design is simple: the mandatory copy claims its space first, and the brand works with whatever is left. Multi-panel labels exist largely because that math often does not work on a single front panel.

Why Spirits Labels Run Heavy on Finish

A bottle of spirits lives on a bar cart or a back bar for months, in a room where it is seen constantly and handled by guests. It is one of the few consumer packages that is judged as an object in the home rather than only on a shelf. That is why the category leans on foil, emboss, tactile varnish and textured stock harder than almost any other, and why a single metallic mark on uncoated paper often outperforms a full color print.

Ice Buckets and Clear Spirits

Vodka, gin and white rum spend time in ice, and a paper label with a standard adhesive lifts the first time it does. Water resistant labels with specialty adhesives solve it. Clear spirits also favor the no label look on film, where the print sits directly against the glass, which demands tight registration because there is no white background to hide a drift.

Small Batch and Single Barrel

Craft distilleries release in small quantities, often a few hundred bottles of a single barrel or a seasonal. The label program has to work at that size, which is why multi-panel labels, hang tags and specialty finishes suit the category: they let a small release feel like an event without the setup cost of a conventional run.
