Custom Keg Collars
Custom Keg Collar Printing
A good keg label offers several benefits for craft breweries – a more organized beer inventory, an easier way to keep track of keg age, and a great marketing piece. No matter what your motivation may be, Blue Label Packaging is the right label printing company when you need show stopping, functional, cost-effective keg collars.
If there’s one thing we know, it’s beer packaging. We’ve worked with more than 1,500 breweries of all sizes for everything from die cut bottle labels to custom printed keg wraps. That level of experience is why we’re a go-to partner for any breweries that need attractive, effective keg collars that set your beer apart from the competition.
The Keg Collar Cooperative
We know breweries may not have the volumes or budgets to pay well-known graphic design firms and secure quantity discounts or contracts. At the same time, you shouldn’t have to rely on stock keg collars or compromise on quality. We get that. Best of all, you don’t have to.
The growth of digital printing has created substantial opportunity for small and medium sized brewing companies to access high quality, small run beer keg collar labels that are also affordable. Our Keg Collar Cooperative lets you avoid setup costs when printing full color or black and white 5.75” keg collars.
The main advantage of this cooperative is simple – you get professionally printed keg collars at cost-effective prices. These grouped production costs mean that your brewery can invest in professional quality printing for costs as low as $0.15 per collar. All approved orders will be accepted by the 15th of every month and finished keg collars are printed and shipped within 3-5 working business days so that you aren’t waiting to move your product.

When designing a keg collar, there are several important details we should include to make sure it serves its purpose effectively. Here’s a breakdown of what to add:
- Type of beer: Clearly label the style of beer, whether it’s an IPA, stout, or lager, so distributors and retailers can quickly identify it.
- Brewery information: Include the brewery name, logo, and location. This not only helps with identification but also serves as a branding opportunity.
- Regulatory compliance: Ensure legal requirements are met by including details like the ABV (Alcohol by Volume), production date, health warnings, batch numbers, and other required notices.
