Label Quality
At Napa Valley Private Label Wine, we pride ourselves on offering one of the highest and best quality wine label printing services available. Since wine labels tend to be subjected to a variety of extreme rigors such as packing in boxes, shipping, refrigeration, condensation etc. we have focussed on two key components to keep your label in the best condition possible. Our exceptional print quality and label durability will ensure your private label maintains its integrity throughout a variety of conditions. And because you have ordered then for a special purpose, we want them to be perfect.
Print Quality
As a general rule, commercial wine labels are printed on the most technologically advanced presses in the world. Wine is an expensive product and a large portion of the total budget for producing a bottle of wine is given over to packaging. Matching this quality in the world of short run, personalized labels is a daunting task. Over the years we have continually strived to improve our print quality and raise standards and our labels are now all printed to photographic or near photographic quality.
Digital Die-Cutting
Unlike most of our competitors we do not print on pre-cut sheets. All of our die-cutting is done AFTER printing, much like the process used by commercial wine label printers. This results in a much greater level of consistency, allowing for tight borders and truly professional results. And because our die-cutting system is a digital process, we can create complex, custom die-shapes, on the fly, at very little cost to the consumer.
Material Options
Glossy Laminated - Our glossy laminated option provides crisp colors and a bright high quality finish with a reflective laminated surface.
Matte Laminated - Our matte laminated option uses a non-reflective laminate layer for a smooth and velvety appearance.
Estate Paper - An authentic wine label stock with a subtle texture and classic uncoated finish. Made from wet-strength material and printed with heat-cured inks, it provides strong adhesion and excellent water resistance.
Choose between the following material options for your label designs. These options differ in appearance, print quality, and durability.
| Estate Paper | Glossy - Laminated | Matte - Laminated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Subtle texture with a soft sheen | High-gloss, smooth, and reflective | Flat, non-reflective, velvety finish |
| Print Clarity | 9 | 10 | 10 |
| Water Resistance | 10 | 8 | 8 |
| Adhesion | 10 | 9 | 9 |
| Ink Durability | 9 | 10 | 10 |
Label Application
Just like our wine is organically farmed, our labels are all custom designed by you and hand applied . . . never mass-produced or mass-labeled by machines. Little known in Napa, many higher-quality, low-volume wines have labels hand applied, which is part of the character, romance and inherent personality of the wine. We stay true to this as we create “Your Private Vineyard . . . one case at a time."
