Seltzer label planning

Colour per flavour

Vibrant colour blocks make a range readable in a cooler.

Condensation

Waterproof film handles cold, wet bottles; apply to dry, clean glass first.

Cans

Label cans only if the can surface is clean and non-curved at the label; consult us about your can first.

Mandatory text

Alcohol content, volume and warnings are legal requirements; include them in your artwork.

Our recommendation

Material and finish

Gloss finish keeps colours bright and wipes clean.

Please note: Alcohol labelling is regulated and differs by province, state and country (alcohol content, volume, warnings, bilingual rules, registration). We print the artwork you supply and do not review labels for compliance; check with the relevant regulator (for example the AGCO, CFIA or TTB) or a qualified adviser.

Beer labels

Beer lives in coolers, ice buckets and fridges, which is brutal on paper labels.

Cider labels

Cideries sell seasonal batches and blends, so short label runs matter.

Can labels

Cans have a smooth cylinder, so wrap-around labels fit well.

Spirits labels

A bottle of whisky or gin is bought on label, shape and story.
