Kombucha labels that cope with cold, wet bottles
Kombucha lives in the fridge, sweats on the shelf and sits in ice at markets. The label has to survive all of that and still show off your flavours. Waterproof BOPP labels do not absorb the condensation that makes paper labels wrinkle and slide.
- Best for: Glass bottles, growlers, swing-top bottles

Good to know
Labels for fermented drinks
Cold chain
Apply to clean, dry bottles at room temperature and let the adhesive set before they go into the fridge. Labels applied to cold, wet glass struggle to bond.
Flavour-by-flavour
Ginger, berry, original: give each its own colour on a shared layout and order each as its own design.
Date space
Bottles carry dates or batch marks. Leave a clear box for a stamp or a marker, since printed artwork is fixed.
Growler curves
Larger growlers have a wide flat face; slim bottles do not. Measure the flat area before you pick a size.
Our recommendation
Material and finish
Gloss finish on white stock sheds water best and keeps colours bright through ice and fridge cycles. Matte gives a craft look that photographs well. Clear stock with white print gives a minimal look on dark glass.

Questions about kombucha labels
Will labels stay on in ice?
The BOPP film does not absorb water. Apply to dry glass, give the adhesive time, then chill, and test one first.
Can I print a new flavour in a small run?
Yes. Add it as a separate design with a quantity that suits the batch.
Do you print date codes?
Printed artwork is fixed. Leave space for a stamp or marker.
Which finish is best for fridge shelves?
Gloss finish wipes clean most easily; matte works too.
