Bottle labels

What is a bottle label?

A bottle label is a label that is intended to be applied on a bottle.

Bottle labels can be printed with a logo, marketing information and the best before date of the bottle together with a batch number to allow product tracking.

How are bottle labels manufactured?

The manufacturing of bottle labels is not so different from how other labels are produced.

The first step in order to manufacture a bottle label is to design the label itself. Nowadays, designing a bottle label can be easily done with the help of label software. The beverage manufacturer only has to create the label template and add the corresponding information. This usually includes:

  • The logo of the beverage manufacturer.
  • The name of the beverage.
  • Information about the beverage itself (e.g. where it was manufactured, its ingredients, the amount of liquid contained in the bottle).
  • A barcode.

In addition to these elements, some beverages are legally required to display other information. For example: alcoholic beverages must display the amount of alcohol they contain, along with the fact that the beverage should not be consumed during pregnancy or before driving. All this information can be easily included in the bottle label.

How are bottle labels applied?

For beverage manufacturing on a large scale, bottle labels can be applied using a label dispenser. In this sense, the bottles are placed on a moving ramp, allowing the label dispenser to automatically label them. Many label dispensers also offer printing possibilities, which means the label printing and application is done by the same machine. This machine is known as a print-and-apply system or label printer and dispenser.

For beverage manufacturing or a small scale, bottle labels can be applied manually. The beverage manufacturer only has to print the labels with the help of a label printer and apply them on the bottle.
