Bottle, can, or both?

Most breweries label bottles and cans the same way: a standalone front label, a front-and-back pair, or a single wraparound piece sized to the container. Configure the size that matches your bottle or can above.

White PP or Crystal Clear?

These are the two materials most breweries start with. The difference comes down to whether you want an opaque background or the container itself to show.

White PP
Crystal Clear
Look
Opaque white background. Bold colors stay consistent across bottle or can color.
Transparent. The bottle, can or beverage color shows through.
Water
Water resistant.
Waterproof and moisture resistant.
When to consider it
Fully branded graphics, or labeling cans where color needs to read the same every time.
A no-label look, or when the beer's own color is part of the design.

Artwork considerations

01

Match the label to the container

A 12oz bottle, a 16oz can and a 22oz bomber all wrap differently. Size the label to the actual container before finalizing art.

02

Mind the seam on a wraparound

On a single wraparound piece, keep text and logos away from the edge where the label meets itself around the bottle or can.

03

Seasonal releases still need lead time

A one-off or seasonal label still goes through the same proofing and production steps. Build in time even for a short run.

04

You'll see a proof first

Every order gets a free digital proof before production, so nothing goes to press until you approve it.
