Question

What paper stocks can I choose for wine labels?

Answer

Wine labels are as much about feel as they are about print, so the stock sets the tone before anyone reads a word. You can choose from a wide range of textures and finishes.

  • Textured linen: A classic, tactile surface that signals a premium bottle.
  • Smooth gloss: Sharp, vivid color for bright, modern designs.
  • Matte: An understated, elegant look with no glare.
  • Uncoated: A natural, artisan feel that takes ink softly.
  • Waterproof: Ideal for bottles that chill in ice buckets or coolers.

Since the material changes both the look and the hand-feel of the label, ordering samples to compare textures is the best way to land on the right one.
