So let&#8217;s break down each component of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/retail-packaging-design\/\" class=\"ek-link\">retail packaging design<\/a> for wine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Front label:<\/strong> The front label is the most visible, and it\u2019s where sellers use different design and branding elements to catch the eye of potential buyers. You\u2019ll include the wine&#8217;s name, the winery&#8217;s logo, and usually an artistic element.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Back label:<\/strong> This part of the label gives customers everything they need to know about the wine. It&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll include its origin, grape varietal, alcoholic content, and tasting notes. Some winemakers also put food pairing suggestions here.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neck label: <\/strong>These are less common but can be used for additional branding or specific information, like awards or certifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Key elements: <\/strong>The key elements of a wine label include mandatory information required by law. Think things like the alcohol content, country of origin, and net contents. In the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ttb.gov\/wine\/labeling\" class=\"ek-link\">you must include<\/a>:\n<ul>\n<li>Appellation of origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Class or type designation (aka, the type of wine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Percentage of foreign wine, if relevant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alcohol content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Color ingredient disclosures, if relevant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Country of origin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health warning statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Name and address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Net contents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sulfite declaration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional information:<\/strong> If you want to, you can include things like the American Viticulture Area (AVA) the wine comes from, gluten and allergen labels, and nutrient contents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A great starting point is the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u2019s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) wine label template tool. Called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ttb.gov\/wine\/anatomy-of-a-label\">Anatomy of a Wine Template tool<\/a>, it\u2019s an interactive feature to show you where the information usually goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/ibI9s4STdTfOHHdL0YtBJ7SNmXEGfuXqQd_ogORgjiS9vYole9lmYRBh9um4K-A4YMOR1jYU4qJdun1_UrCLsCMOf-S4hly_U6FKBN1-pwyuRnlEAerRPBAsjYxMzS5-s-T2wO9mKFN8H_Srkl0NJrU\" alt=\"Anatomy of a Wine label screenshot from US Department Treasury website\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you click on a specific area, you\u2019ll learn whether the information is mandatory and where it must appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One super important point to remember is that all areas of your label should flow, design-wise. You\u2019ll want to use typography, fonts, and styles that align with your brand and look good together.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-creating-custom-wine-bottle-labels\">Tips for creating custom wine bottle labels<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re crafty and love design, you can create custom labels yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, you can work with a designer on a tool like Fiverr or <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/99designs-review\/\">99designs<\/a> to put together the perfect wine label.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re making the label on your own, look for tools specifically made for designing wine labels. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/express\/create\/label\/wine\">Adobe has one<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stoneycreekwinepress.com\/\">Stoney Creek Wine Press<\/a> does too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/labels\/templates\/wine\/\">Canva\u2019s wine label templates<\/a> are tasteful, as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;ll give you plenty of templates and editing tools that are easy to use \u2013 even if you&#8217;re not exactly a design expert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few basic graphic design tips to keep in mind as you work:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pick the design thoughtfully.<\/strong> Use fonts, colors, and illustrations that work well together and fit the style of your wine. For example, you might pick elegant fonts and colors for a classic Bordeaux or Cabernet Sauvignon. Or fun, bright designs for a birthday ros\u00e9 or Chardonnay. Think about what type of label fits both your personality as a brand\u2026 and the personality of your wine. (Yes, wine has a personality. We swear.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider personalized touches.<\/strong> Are you creating personalized wine bottle labels for a special occasion rather than to sell? Plenty of people do this for events like weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. Add personal touches, like the name of the birthday person. Or the name and date of a couple&#8217;s wedding. These personal touches can make your label and the wine it holds incredibly special.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose the label material carefully.<\/strong> The material of your label matters more than you think. Whether you use a matte or glossy finish can impact the whole look of your label. Matte might look more elegant and refined, while glossy could make the colors pop. Try different methods, like using die-cutting tools to create unique shapes for your labels. Experimentation is your friend here. Think of how the design will boost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/how-to-optimize-your-digital-shelf\/\">digital shelf optimization<\/a> as well as the way your wine looks on a store shelf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you work with your design tool of choice, you\u2019ll also want to think about how you\u2019ll print your labels.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-note-on-printing\">A note on printing<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>There are two main ways most winemakers print their labels: digital or traditional printing. Here&#8217;s a quick overview of both to help you decide which one works best for you:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Digital printing: <\/strong>With this method, labels are printed directly from a digital file onto the printing surface \u2013 usually a special sticker. Digital printing gives you high-quality prints, and you can choose from a wide range of colors and styles. This flexibility makes it ideal for small to medium runs, custom designs, and personalized wedding wine labels. It&#8217;s also easy to adjust and re-print labels if something doesn&#8217;t look quite right.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Traditional printing:<\/strong> Also known as flexographic label printing, the traditional way of printing wine labels uses special plates to transfer ink onto the printing surface. This method is better for large volume runs \u2013 ie, for established winemakers with the means to afford it. There&#8217;s a big setup cost here, and it takes a lot of time to prepare the plates. But once everything&#8217;s in place, traditional printing can produce scads of labels at a relatively low cost per unit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you rush to print your wine labels, though, it\u2019s time to test them to a target audience who can give you honest feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wine-label-validation-and-testing\">Wine label validation and testing<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s nerve-wracking to commit to a wine label and pay for printing. Especially if you don\u2019t know if people in your target audience will even like the label. You can skip this stress by using a tool like PickFu to split-test your labels before you finalize them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Hint: you can use PickFu to test all sorts of labels and designs. We get lots of sellers who test everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/coffee-packaging-design\/\">coffee packaging designs<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/supplement-label-design\/\">supplement label designs<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/tea-packaging-design\/\">tea packaging designs<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To show you how this works, we ran two different polls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"poll-1-testing-three-unique-labels-in-a-ranked-poll\">Poll #1: Testing three unique labels in a Ranked poll<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/results\/2zRa6ngpjT\" class=\"ek-link\">the first poll<\/a>, we asked a group of 30 wine drinkers which of three labels would make them purchase a bottle of wine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Option A is kind of scary and shows a person with a hood over their head like they\u2019re about to head to the guillotine. Option B is minimalistic, with elegant fonts and little to no art. And Option C includes an illustration of a nature scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"937\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu.png\" alt=\"Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu\" class=\"wp-image-14163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu.png 937w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-434x300.png 434w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-768x530.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-725x501.png 725w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-540x373.png 540w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-345x238.png 345w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-286x197.png 286w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-120x83.png 120w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-126x87.png 126w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-wine-label-poll-survey-from-PickFu-129x89.png 129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not many wine drinkers liked Option A. The rest of the votes were split between Options B and C.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a snapshot of what our target audience had to say:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI like the simplicity of the label and the shape of the wine bottle in Option B. I&#8217;ve never bought wine in a green bottle before, so Option C is a little weird to me, despite it being on brand with the scenery on the label. I really dislike the shape of the bottle in option A, not to mention how unsettling the label is.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI would buy [Option C] because I really love the outdoor scenery featuring the snow capped mountains with the pine tree forest in the valley below.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI prefer [Option B]. Based on the shape and color of the bottle, it&#8217;s most likely to contain white wine which I prefer. Option A looks like it would be really an intense red wine (like port) and [Option C] would be an overly sweet German white like Riesling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201c[Option B] is the classiest looking choice. I&#8217;m not too sure what is going on with A.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice how everything from the label <em>and <\/em>the shape and color of the bottle made such a huge difference? It\u2019s fascinating to see how the outer presentation can deeply influence a person\u2019s perception of the wine inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we were to do this poll for an actual wine label (not for three wines that already exist) we\u2019d choose one type of wine with the same color and bottle shape. Like a red wine with a classic shape and a hue that showcases the color of the wine. Then we\u2019d put three different label ideas on it and ask the group of wine-drinkers which one they\u2019d pick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/brand-market-research\/\">brand market research<\/a> isn\u2019t hard to do, and it delivers crucial insights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"poll-2-gathering-insights-with-an-openended-poll\">Poll #2: Gathering insights with an Open-Ended poll<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/results\/ldDrMcZYQu\" class=\"ek-link\">our second poll<\/a>, we asked an open-ended question to see what feedback we\u2019d get about a design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wine label in question features two humanoid foxes dancing under a full moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"937\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question.png\" alt=\"Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question\" class=\"wp-image-14164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question.png 937w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-434x300.png 434w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-768x530.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-725x501.png 725w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-540x373.png 540w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-345x238.png 345w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-286x197.png 286w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-120x83.png 120w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-126x87.png 126w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-of-pickfu-poll-wine-label-open-ended-question-129x89.png 129w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We asked the respondents, \u201cWhat overall feedback do you have on the design for this wine label? What do you think about this wine brand (without doing any other research)? Does it seem expensive? Cheap? Like something you&#8217;d serve at a fancy dinner or a friend&#8217;s night in?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an overview of what our 30 U.S.-based wine-enjoyers said:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI don&#8217;t know anything about this wine, but judging by the childlike illustration on the label, I would imagine this would be one of the more affordable wines. It seems like a young vineyard is trying to make an impression by standing out with a wacky label. This would be a wine I brought with me to a birthday party (so I don&#8217;t show up empty-handed) but I would not serve it with a fancy dinner.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cOff the top of my head, it looks expensive to me. But then again, all wine is expensive to me. I think it could be served at a night with friends, but maybe not at an expensive dinner. The label looks too lighthearted and fun for a fancy dinner party.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cThis brand seems very cheap given the inelegant label. I like that the label is colorful and that the bottle is a bit elongated at the top. I don&#8217;t like there is no clear branding, vintage, and other info shown. Despite nice colors, I would strongly prefer a wine where it focuses on the important aspects of wine as mentioned, also including origin and notes. When I see a bottle like this, instead I think it is a cheap wine that is best for binge drinking and not much else.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cThe label looks really cheap, like someone made the wine in their bathtub and bottled it there. Sorry.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You gotta love the honesty these respondents bring to the table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:100%;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/4iKeimY0sahiQReGRh\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"position:absolute\" frameBorder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the 30 respondents, 15 specifically said they\u2019d only serve the wine at a friends\u2019 night in \u2013 <em>not <\/em>at a fancy party. Only two respondents said they\u2019d serve it at a more upscale gathering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other respondents had mixed feelings about it, and some wouldn\u2019t serve it anywhere. The lack of branding and vital information on the label seems to have really thrown people off, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we were this company, we might reimagine the label a bit \u2013 and then exclusively target it to an audience of younger adults needing wine to bring to game nights and other fun events.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-takeaways\">Key takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to designing the perfect wine label, remember these three key points:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Labels attract buyers.<\/strong> A wine label&#8217;s job is to grab attention and tell what&#8217;s special about the wine. It must also showcase your branding and follow specific laws and rules to comply with federal law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take your time with the design.<\/strong> Put thought into your wine label design process. Use colors, fonts, and images that match your wine&#8217;s personality\u2014and your brand. This helps your wine stand out in a sea of other bottles, whether that\u2019s in-store or online.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t skip the testing stage. <\/strong>Before printing a million labels, test the style with potential buyers on PickFu. And <em>pay attention<\/em> to what your target audience is saying! Make those changes and re-test until the majority of respondents love your style. This helps make sure your wine hits the market with a splash \u2013 not a flop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Testing your wine label is quick and easy with PickFu. You can upload your designs with our easy-to-use dashboard and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/\">get honest feedback today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re not sure whether to sell your wine online or just in brick-and-mortar stores, check out our post \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/is-ecommerce-worth-it\/\">Is e-commerce worth it?<\/a>\u201d to help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What size are wine labels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wine labels come in various sizes, but one common size is 3 inches wide by 4 inches tall. This dimension can vary depending on the bottle shape and the design elements you end up including. You can also choose wrap-around labels for more detailed storytelling or to include artistic designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can AI design my wine label?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can help you design your wine label, but you shouldn\u2019t necessarily depend on it to do all the work. It\u2019s tempting, because you can input preferences for style, color, and imagery, and the AI can generate designs that line up with them. But AI lacks a human touch, which is why we recommend using other design tools along with AI packaging design to create a truly unique label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I create my own wine label template?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With graphic design software or online label-making platforms, just about anyone can create a wine label template.
