Custom bottle labels, cut to the shape of your brand.
Spirits, bitters, hot sauce, olive oil, cold brew. The shape does half the work, an oval, a shield or your mark's outline, and foil on black paper does the rest. For oily or chilled bottles, BOPP film.

Shapes made for the bottle
Ovals, shields, arches and your mark’s outline are cut with a die made for your label. Very tight inside corners and narrow necks need a softer radius so the label peels without tearing. Custom shapes are quoted, not priced as the rectangular roll label.
Paper or film, by contents
Dry-use spirits and bitters: felt, laid, smooth or black uncoated paper can carry hot foil.
Oil, water and chilled bottles: white or clear BOPP film, with metallic ink or metallised film for shine. Paper labels are not waterproof. No hot foil on BOPP film.
Foil on dark papier
Ink sinks into black paper; foil sits on top and stays bright. Gold, copper and white pigment foil read strongly on black or coloured uncoated labels. Put barcodes and QR codes in flat dark ink on a separate light back label, never in foil.
Your label, your spec
2 × 3 in, one foil + CMYK, rolls.
Every foil label run needs its own foil die, and the die, stock and finish all move the price, so we quote foil labels to your spec rather than guess. Tell Peppermint Studio the size, the quantity and where the product lives, and you'll get a price and a stock recommendation before you pay anything.

Artwork drawn to the label
Foil is binary: an area is fully foiled or it's bare paper. These rules decide whether your label survives the press:
- Fine detail survives foil. Lines hold to 0.1 mm; we design to 0.15 mm, with internal gaps around 0.25 mm.
- Foil type at 7 pt or larger. 8 pt is safer, type knocked out of a foil shape needs 10 pt, and high-contrast serifs (thin hairline strokes) need 12 pt. Ingredients, legal lines and anything smaller go in ink.
- Foil never sits on top of ink. We knock the ink out under the foil and leave a 1 mm gap between them. Foil and full colour share a label side by side.
- No gradients, shadows or photos in foil. Each foil becomes one solid tone.
- Foil 3 mm inside the cut line, or run it 3 mm past. A foil border that stops 1 mm short of the edge looks crooked once the cut shifts slightly.
- Barcodes and QR codes print in flat dark ink on a light ground, never foil or emboss, with foil kept at least 1 mm clear, so scanners can read them. On a black or dark label, that means a back label on light stock.
- Soft corners on custom shapes. Tight inside corners and narrow necks tear when the label is peeled off its liner, so we soften the radius slightly on the die. Nobody notices it on the shelf; everybody notices it on the applicator.
You don't need to get this perfect yourself. A person checks every file before the die is made, and tells you in one line anything we changed and why. If the label needs drawing to a real container, our label artwork service lays it out against the actual bottle and die, from $450. For the long version of the foil rules, read our foil artwork guide.

Bottle labels questions
Can bottle labels be a custom shape?
Oui : arches, ovales, écussons, festons ou le contour de votre propre logo. Nous fabriquons une forme de découpe sur mesure, et nous adoucissons légèrement les angles intérieurs très serrés et les parties étroites pour que l'étiquette ne se déchire pas en se décollant du support. Les formes sur mesure se font sur devis, car la forme est fabriquée pour vous.
Which label stock for oily or wet bottles?
Pas les nôtres sur papier. Les papiers d'étiquette texturés et non couchés absorbent l'humidité : une étiquette métallisée sur papier se ramollit et se décolle dans un seau à glace, un réfrigérateur ou une douche. Pour les produits humides ou réfrigérés, nous utilisons une étiquette en film BOPP blanc ou transparent avec un adhésif permanent. Sur film, l'éclat provient d'une encre métallique ou d'un film métallisé plutôt que d'un marquage à chaud, car l'adhérence du film à chaud sur certains supports est peu fiable. Le résultat est un reflet satiné, pas un effet miroir.
Can you print gold on black labels?
Yes. Gold foil sits on top of black uncoated paper and stays bright. Ink sinks into the paper; foil supplies the contrast.
Do you write or check nutrition or legal copy?
No, we print what you approve. You supply the wording and are responsible for nutrition and regulatory compliance.
Minimum?
250 étiquettes. Chaque tirage exige son propre cliché de dorure et un calage de presse. Ce travail coûte autant pour 50 étiquettes que pour 250 : en dessous de 250, le prix à l'étiquette n'a plus de sens. Les tirages plus importants font l'objet d'un devis.
Rolls or sheets?
Oui. Nous enroulons les rouleaux selon les spécifications de votre applicateur : indiquez le diamètre du mandrin et le sens d'enroulement avec votre commande. Si vous n'êtes pas sûr du sens d'enroulement, envoyez une photo d'un rouleau que votre machine utilise déjà, étiquettes vers l'extérieur. Des planches sont aussi disponibles, pour la pose manuelle et les petits tirages.
How long?
Plan on about 3 weeks of production after you approve the proof, then transit. That's an estimate, not a guarantee. If you're working to a launch, tell us the date when you order and we'll say honestly whether it's realistic.
Samples?
Our sample kit is 9 €, with a 15 € credit toward your first order. It holds samples of our papers and finishes, plus a hot foil swatch card with 40 stamped foils, so you can hold a foil against your own bottle in your own light. It doesn't include label stock today. Every label order also gets a free proof before anything is stamped.
Start with where it lives
Send Peppermint Studio your logo and a photo of the bottle, jar or box, and tell us where it sits and when you need it. You'll get a stock and foil recommendation, a price for your quantity and a straight note on anything that won't stamp cleanly, before you pay.
