The Label Makers has partnered with Halfpenny Green Wine Estate to unveil a fresh, sustainable look for the brand's iconic oak-aged Solaris wine.
Made entirely from uncoated white matte, wood-free printing paper with a felt-marked finish, the new labels are visually appealing and environmentally responsible. They are also designed to endure challenging conditions and are treated for wet strength and fungicidal protection, so they stay pristine even when chilled in ice buckets.
Adding to the sustainability credentials, the laminate used in the labels contains 70% post-consumer recycled content (PCR), reflecting both The Label Makers’ and Halfpenny Green’s commitment to environmental responsibility. The new labels also feature state-of-the-art printing techniques, including full-color digital prints, detailed line work, foil accents, embossing, and high-build spot varnish.
