Standout Rye Whiskey Labels with Blue Label

Variety is the spice of life, but it also means that there are plenty of rye whiskey brands out there vying for consumers’ attention. A boring bottle only does a disservice to your products, which is why it’s essential to make an immediate impact and showcase your brand on shelves and online. Fortunately, Blue Label has the equipment, experts, and decades of experience necessary to elevate your rye whiskey labels.

Our state-of-the-art HP Indigo digital printing presses is the backbone of our operation. Combined with special finishing equipment, we have the tools required to custom build your labels from the liner to decoration. Our team of label printing experts work closely with you to determine the best, most cost-effective way to enhance and protect your label design. That process includes guiding you through the following printing options and capabilities to maximize every aspect of your labels.

  • Label materials – We offer a wide variety of label material options to help you attain the perfect look and feel for your packaging. These materials include textured papers, shrink sleeves, films, and other attractive substrates.
  • Label decoration – Maximize the value of your labels through special decorative techniques designed to amplify your design and make people notice your product.
    • Embossing and debossing – Leave a physical imprint in your label that creates a special pattern that customers can see and feel.
    • Hot foil stamping – A combination of heat and pressure presses metallic, matte, or some other type of foil into your label to make your rye whiskey seem more luxurious and attractive.
    • Spot varnishing – Highlight a specific aspect of your design with a spot varnish that coats part of your design in a gloss, satin, soft-touch coating.
    • High build screen printing – Add an extra layer on top of your label with a high-gloss silicone that creates an elegant, three-dimensional pattern on your labels.
  • Color matching – Blue label can match up to 98% of pantone colors to ensure brand consistency across all your products.
  • Print protection – Protect your rye whiskey label design from scuffs, scratches, and other damage with special laminates and varnishes that can also add to the overall look of your packaging.

Another advantage of our digital printing process is that we can custom build exceptional labels without the need for expensive plate costs, material waste, and extra setup fees. As such, we can print your labels quicker and more cost-effectively than through traditional printing means.
