Assignment: To create a label with a classic, eye catching country look.
“We are so excited that we found a label company (Classic Impressions – Christine Witte) and a designer (Erin Kelly Graphic Design) who work together to create great presentations and labels. By using this company, the label design and quality printing has helped with the success of promoting our business. Pricing for our label design and printing job was reasonable. Efficient turnaround time for both design and labels facilitated our production schedule. In addition, Erin and Chris work extremely well together offering suggestions that make our products stand out. We cannot thank them enough and look forward to working with them in the future!” |
PRINTING NOTES:
BOYER'S Marquette, La Crescent, Frontenac Gris and Boro Hill Sparkling Cider – 750ML and Bourbon Barrel Aged Cider 22 OZ. were printed on Estate #9 textured wine paper with a Wet Strength permanent adhesive. This wine paper is a classic and is always an elegant choice.
Boyer’s Iced Cider 375ML – We used a Silver Metalized BOPP film with a permanent adhesive. This wine will be chilled and maybe even in an ice bucket. This material works well in those conditions. Another benefit is we can produce metallic effects. This is done by creating a mask or “white layer” which can allow the areas you want metallic to show through the remaining solid areas on the label.
We produced press samples so our customer could see exactly what the label will look and feel like. These are supplied with a die-line where it can be cut out, liner peeled back and applied to the bottle. We strongly recommend press samples for the first run of new labels.

DESIGN NOTES: Using an original drawing of the apple image sent to me by Mark from BOYER'S, I explored different font options for the winery name until we found an "old style country" look. Picking a bright red color on the creme background makes this label pop off the shelf. For BOYER'S Iced cider we decided on a more sophisticated look, changing the background to a rich black with Gold metallic graphics.
