Ice-bucket PP and condensation-proof films. Metallics and raised tactile textures carry no plate or block fees, so a taproom seasonal can carry the same finish as a national listing. Short runs go digital and long runs go flexo, all in-house in the UK.
The labels we print for this sector, the stocks they run on and the finishes that suit them, so you know what to ask for.
We print for UK craft breweries, on taproom-only seasonal drops and national chain listings. Their labels have to hold the brand up through the cold store, the ice bucket and the bar sink.
Expect PP films that shrug off condensation, can wraps for 330ml and 440ml cans, and keg-collar stocks. Digital foil, raised tactile textures and holographic all run without plate or block fees at any run size. That makes a collab or festival special worth finishing properly.
Digital handles the short and medium runs; flexo takes over on long runs to bring the cost per label down. Having both under one roof means your artwork, proofs and press dates sit with one team, and a beer that moves to flexo keeps the spec it launched with.
Four things every customer gets on every job, in every sector we supply, printed labels and blanks alike.

Howard Town, a local brewery, needed labels for five seasonal beers 14 days before taproom release. The illustrated artwork had a lot of fine linework that had to stay crisp on uncoated paper.
