Beer Labels

The best option depends on how and where you plan to use your labels.

For example, if your bottles or cans will be stored cold, you’ll want a material that handles moisture and temperature changes well. If you're designing labels for short-term use or events, you might focus more on appearance. Finish also makes a difference — glossy labels help your design stand out, while matte creates a more subtle, premium look.

Since every use case is different, you can start by testing a few variations in material (sample pack includes our popular materials for just $5), size, or finish before scaling up. This helps you find what works best for both your product and your brand.

We do focus on producing colors that look accurate and consistent in real-world printing.

All labels are printed using CMYK, which is the standard for print production. This works well for most designs — whether you're creating a bold red label beer, a clean white or blue label, or experimenting with brighter tones like yellow or green. The key is to design your artwork in CMYK from the start, so what you see in your file translates more closely to the final printed label.

Keep in mind that colors can appear slightly different on screen versus on physical materials, especially across finishes like matte or gloss.

If you want your label to stand out at a glance, go with gloss. If you're aiming for a more crafted, upscale feel, matte is the better fit.

The best size usually comes down to the shape of your bottle or can and how much information you want to include.

A good starting point is to measure the flat area where the label will be applied — especially on curved surfaces, where too large a label may wrinkle or not sit smoothly. If your design includes more details like branding, flavor names, or additional info, you may want a slightly larger label to keep everything clear and readable.

If you're unsure, it's often helpful to test a couple of sizes first. (Also, we'rw always here for help) Trying different dimensions allows you to see what fits best visually and physically before committing to a larger run.

Yes — there's no minimum order for beer labels, so you can order exactly what you need. This makes it easy to start with a small batch to test your design, check sizing, or see how your labels look on actual bottles or cans. If everything works as expected, you can always scale up for larger runs, events, or ongoing use.

Production typically takes 2–4 business days, depending on your order size and design. Shipping usually requires an additional 3–5 business days, based on your location.

If you’re working on a tight timeline, we also offer rush production and expedited shipping options to help you meet your deadline.
