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 carta
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?
Sì: archi, ovali, scudi, smerlature o il contorno del tuo marchio. Realizziamo una fustella sulla forma e ammorbidiamo leggermente gli angoli interni molto stretti e le strozzature, così l'etichetta non si strappa staccandola dal supporto. Le forme personalizzate sono su preventivo, perché la fustella è fatta per te.
Which label stock for oily or wet bottles?
Non le nostre su carta. Le carte per etichette materiche e non patinate assorbono l'umidità, quindi un'etichetta in lamina su carta si ammorbidisce e si stacca in un secchiello del ghiaccio, in frigo o sotto la doccia. Per prodotti bagnati o refrigerati usiamo un'etichetta in film BOPP bianco o trasparente con adesivo permanente. Sul film otteniamo la brillantezza con inchiostro metallizzato o un film metallizzato invece della lamina a caldo, perché l'adesione della lamina su alcuni film non è affidabile. Il risultato è un luccichio satinato, non uno specchio.
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 etichette. Ogni tiratura richiede un proprio cliché per la lamina e un proprio avviamento macchina, e questo lavoro costa lo stesso per 50 etichette come per 250. Sotto le 250, il prezzo per etichetta non ha più senso. Per tirature maggiori facciamo un preventivo.
Rolls or sheets?
Sì. Avvolgiamo i rotoli secondo le specifiche del tuo applicatore, quindi indica nell'ordine il diametro dell'anima e il senso di avvolgimento. Se non conosci il senso di avvolgimento, inviaci la foto di un rotolo che la tua macchina usa già, con le etichette verso l'esterno. Sono disponibili anche i fogli, per l'applicazione a mano e le piccole tirature.
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.
