Custom Factory Large Metal Label for Wine Bottles
Blog Article
In a world of premium packaging, traditional paper labels are no longer enough. For many high-end wine brands, a metal label offers that luxurious, durable, and tactile experience that customers remember.
At Fordico , we manufacture custom metal wine boxes and labels for wineries and whisky brands across Europe and North America. One of our most requested items in 2024–2025 has been:
> Large, embossed metal labels for limited-edition bottles.
These aren’t just stickers — they’re tiny metal artworks.
How Are Custom Metal Labels Made?
Here’s a quick look at the process we use in our factory:
1. Material Selection
We usually start with:
Tinplate (good embossing performance)
Aluminum (lightweight, corrosion-resistant)
Brass or copper (luxury feel, often for whisky)
2. Mold and Design
The client provides a logo and size. We turn it into:
A vector file (AI or SVG)
A 3D relief model (for deep embossing)
We use tools like:
Adobe Illustrator → vector logo
SolidWorks / Rhino3D → for curved bottle surface matching
Figma for internal reviews and mockups
> Tip: Developers involved in packaging tools can make Figma plugins for label visualization on 3D models — huge time saver.
3. Stamping + Coloring
After mold setup:
We stamp the shape and emboss the design.
Add surface finishes: matte black, antique bronze, brushed gold.
Print/etch serial numbers (for limited editions).
4. Backing Options
Labels can be:
Glued
With 3M adhesive
Or clipped via custom wireframes (rare)
How We Use Web Tech to Power Custom Orders
As a tech-minded OEM, we also built a digital ordering & showcase system using:
✔️ Next.js for our catalog
Fast-loading, SEO-ready
Product routes like `/metal-labels/gold-embossed`
✔️ Tailwind CSS for component library
Easily switch layouts for different label types
Reusable `LabelCard` components
✔️ Netlify CMS or Notion API for product backend
Our non-dev staff can upload new label styles
Custom fields: metal type, size, MOQ, etc.
✔️ Web-to-Factory Flow:
1. Client fills label brief via a React form
2. Auto-generates quote ID
3. Uploads artwork (SVG/DXF)
4. We parse specs and push to production queue via internal API
Final Showcase: Label + Box = Brand Identity
The large metal label is often just one piece. When combined with a custom tin wine box, the entire packaging tells a story.
We help brands like:
Whisky distilleries launching special editions
French wineries creating luxury gift sets
US-based DTC alcohol startups who want to stand out on the shelf
Here’s a sample combo:
jsx
<MetalLabel
title="Matte Black Embossed Label"
image="/labels/black-embossed.jpg"
features={["Tinplate", "3M adhesive", "Antique finish"]}
link="/contact?label=black-embossed"
/>
