I build it in from the start: ingredients, allergens, ABV, importer info. No squeezing text in at the end.
FAQ Category: Labels
What files will I get for packaging design?
Print-ready PDF/X, layered AI, plus PNG/JPG for web. If you need a white ink layer or varnish mask, I include that too.
Do you design just the front, or the whole package?
Both. I can do a front label only or the full wrap, including back, neck, and box. Tell me what the printer needs.
How do you make a product label stand out?
Contrast and character. I use a strong central illustration, a clean hierarchy, and one memorable color. It has to be readable from three feet away.
Can you do sticker labels for short runs?
Absolutely. I set up sticker labels on sheets with kiss-cut guides. Perfect for markets, tastings, or limited editions.
Do you handle the technical stuff like die lines?
Yes. I build the die line to your printer’s spec, add bleed, and check the barcode quiet zone. You get files your printer can run without fixes.
What’s different about wine label design?
Wine buyers read small type up close. I keep the layout simple. I use a quality paper texture in the mockup. The vintage and appellation should be easy to read.
How do you start a beer label design?
I ask about the style of beer, the story, and the taproom vibe. Then I sketch characters or badges that fit the name, not a stock Viking. You pick one, and we build from there.
