You’ve spent years perfecting your brewing process and don’t want it to go unnoticed. To attract new customers while keeping them coming back for more, you need to market your product with a distinct beer label design —one that separates you from all the other breweries. But what should you include to ensure your brew stands out?
Creating the perfect beer label design is all about portraying your beer’s personality. First, consider your ideal target market. Before working on the design, you want to find out whose attention you’re trying to grab. After that, you can start evaluating what type of impression your label should give.
USTL is a Cost-Effective Solution for Beer Label Printing
USTL offers a complete craft beer cost-cutting solution that minimizes product cost without compromising the quality of beer label design. We can help you identify the optimal size label for your design and can type. The wider the gap on the can, the less design space you have but the more you’ll save on overhead. Our team helps you strike the right balance between the two.
Choosing the Ideal Beer Label Size for your Budget
When selecting the right beer label size, it’s important to understand all the options available.
USTL offers three size options for both 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans:
- Standard size for 12-ounce cans: 3.5” x 8”
- Reduced size for 12-ounce cans: 3.5” x 7.5”
- Minimal size for 12-ounce cans: 3.5” x 6.25”
- Standard size for 16-ounce cans: 5” x 8”
- Reduced size for 16-ounce cans: 4.75” x 7.5”
- Minimal size for 16-ounce cans: 4.5” x 6.25”
For both 12-ounce and 16-ounce cans, choosing a reduced size label saves you 10 percent on production or printing costs while minimal size labels save 20 percent.
