When you’re savoring a delicious wine and admiring its beautifully designed label, have you ever noticed the different materials used for wine labels? Do you understand their properties? Are you familiar with which material is best suited for which type of wine label?
1. Ice bucket paper
Ice bucket paper is a relatively expensive, high-end specialty paper—mainly because when red wine is chilled in an ice bucket, the label paper doesn't easily tear or crumble. The photo shows the actual effect of the ice bucket paper used for Hong Sibu wine products.
2. Cortical
Leather is also a widely used material for wine labels at this stage. You can choose leather in various colors and with different textures; the downside is that these labels can only be applied manually. Leather labels can be combined with hot-stamping techniques for gold embossing. This photo shows the Pinot Noir leather label from Xixia King—since leather labels first appeared locally, they’ve sparked a huge market boom.
3. Metal plaque
Metal tags are a relatively expensive material that requires separate mold development. They can be finished with techniques such as embossing, matte coating, and drop glazing, making them more upscale than paper.
