Creating beer labels that make your competitors green with envy requires more than just great taste. There are also specific design rules and product regulations that you need to follow in order to create a label that satisfies all legal requirements set by the Beverage Alcohol Manual BAM. This article will guide you through everything you need to know to create eye-catching labels that meet all requirements while maintaining your brewery style and brand identity.
The first step is to identify your target audience. Then you can choose a label that connects with them and reflects the feelings your brew inspires. Different colors, fonts, and special techniques can all be used to create a beer bottle label that will stand out from the crowd.
Choosing your custom beer labels size is important, because the edges may contain vital information, such as government warnings or barcodes, that you don’t want to cover up. You also need to ensure that the label will fit the bottle or can of your choice. For this reason, we recommend using a template that is slightly shorter than the circumference of your desired bottle or can. This will create a gap between the label and the edge, which prevents the label from sticking to the container and allows you to add more details to your design.
There are many different styles of beer bottle labels to choose from, including full wrap labels that cover the entire surface of the bottle, and neck labels that sit around the neck of the can or bottle. You can even get a combination of both types of labels on one sheet for a more traditional look.
Once you’ve selected your label size and style, you can start designing it with our online design tool. Our simple-to-use software is easy to navigate and allows you to customize the size, shape, and color of your beer label to match your brand perfectly. If you’re unsure of how to get started, our dedicated customer service team can help with any questions or issues you might have.
A great way to test out your design is by printing a sample of the label on plain paper so that you can see how it looks and feel the material before ordering a batch. This can help you avoid any unexpected surprises when your labels are printed.
Our brewing label printing is done with vibrant water-based inks for rich colors and high quality sustainably-sourced label paper. You can also select a variety of finishes, from gloss to matte, and use special techniques like embossing and hot foil stamping to make your labels stand out on the shelf.
Once you’ve finished designing your beer labels, you can submit them for production. You’ll then receive an email letting you know when your labels are ready to be picked up from the warehouse and shipped to your brewery.
