OnlineLabels.com, an online retailer of blank and printed labels, has added five new sizes of blank labels made for beer bottles. Each label is available in 37 different material offerings such as weatherproof, clear gloss, brown kraft, and can be printed using a standard laser or inkjet printer.
The new sizes include several specialty shapes: a shield, trophy, and badge. Others are more traditional beer label shapes made to fit on a variety of bottle sizes. These are a rectangular size with a standard neck label and a full-wrap rectangular label. In addition to beer bottles, these sizes have been used for other purposes like jar and package labeling.
"We strive to always provide our customers with new options for their businesses," says Dave Carmany. "By constantly adding new sizes, we know every customer will be able to find a label that fits their needs."
The recent product additions are part of an effort to provide homebrewers and small breweries with more helpful resources. Breweries often opt to print their own beer labels because it costs much less than having them professionally printed for short-run productions. Many homebrewers also choose to reuse bottles, so they need to count on having control over their own label printing.
"Small businesses, such as small breweries, are beginning to see the value in creating a unique brand personality," continues Carmany. "Labels are often a customer's first impression to your product and should help tell your beer's story."
