What Is a Bottle Label?

A bottle label is a text on a bottle stating what is contained inside. These are printed in varying, creative fonts, and may sometimes include a design. At the back of the container, ingredients are included (for non-water beverages), proper handling procedures, manufacture and expiry date, and minimal info about the manufacturing company itself. Without bottle labels, we would have a tough time determining which is to be consumed and vice versa. In medications, bottle labels are significant, considering they consist of dosages and possible allergens.

Old-fashioned wine bottle labeling started in Egypt as early as 1550 B.C. They are composed of emblems and engravings to make trading convenient. It also contains the maker and the year in which it was made.  

How to Create a Bottle Label?

Bottle labeling's primary purpose is to inform the would-be user of what is contained inside. To simplify, it should not mislead the user because of possible health-related risks. That's why many businesses are trying to find ways to make their own labels cheaply and effectively. To craft an impeccable bottle label, we advise studying our provided list below. 

1. Measure Your Bottle's Dimensions

Measure your bottle's dimensions first before creating its label. Accomplishing this after designing your bottle label may manipulate your layout. If you are deciding on a full-wrap name, provide an allowance. 

2. Download a Template

We share your sentiments about how hard it is to design a product label for your bottle from scratch. If you want it the easy way, download our Bottle Label Templates for free today! The layout, fonts, and artworks are entirely modifiable, so you need not worry about being stuck with a design you do not approve of.  

3. Include Your Content

Here, you will include your product's name, nutritional facts, ingredients, manufacture and expiry date, and the manufacturing company. Some of these do not apply to all beverages, for example, water bottles. If your product contains possible allergens, state it in the label. Make your content clear and free from erroneous information.  

4. Modify the Fonts and Colors to Your Preference

All manufacturing companies have their trademark logos, fonts, and colors. Use these on your bottle labeling for your branding. If your company is a neophyte and has yet to establish its own trademark, you can use the default layout of our templates.  

5. Print the Bottle Label

Before printing, check to see if if you have adequate ink for printing. Some colors are running low or have already run out without your knowledge. This may cause your output to be tarnished (you do not need to do this if you opt for professional printing). Sticker papers are not enough for product labeling; you will have to use an adhesive. 

6. Apply Your Bottle Label 

Once you have accomplished the steps as mentioned above, your finished bottle label is now ready to apply. Bottles may be exposed to humid and cool (frozen) conditions, so make sure that your adhesive can storm these conditions. Carefully, stick the label into the bottle, and work from one end to the other. Once done, smoothen the surface for creases.
