This direction is represented as a number during the ordering and production process. To avoid applying your labels upside down or sideways reference the list below: Unwind numbers 1 through 4 unroll on the outside of the roll Unwind numbers 5 through 8 unroll on the inside of the roll

Raised Varnish

Take your decoration to new heights. Craft Brew Labels is proud to add another embellishment to our ever-expanding lineup of decorations. Our raised varnish allows for precise application of texture on top of printed decoration to allow it to pop out without de-bossing the other side of the label, allowing for better durability than embossing.

Right now, in order to allow for the increase in production, the US government through the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is temporarily waiving their need for approvals and certain permits for hand sanitizer formulas as long as it

PET vs. Paper Liner

Which is better, a liner made of PET or paper? The tide is shifting and PET liners are being used more than ever for the material that our printed labels are affixed to.

Economy Compared to 40# paper, 1.2M PET is 48% thinner and 92 gauge PET is 60% thinner,
