5 Tips on water bottle label design.

#1 Stick to the Specifications.
Specifications are there to ensure your artwork is created to the correct size and is of optimum quality.

All our labels are flight checked before printing to ensure there are no errors, but it’s always best to make sure you have the correct dimensions and colour setting for your artwork to avoid any amendment costs.

Our bottled water specifications:

Size: 58mm (hight) x 180mm (wide)
Bleed: 3mm
Colours: CMYK
DPI: 300dpi for all bitmap graphics
Formats: High Resolution PDF
Fonts: Please ensure all fonts are outlined
Notes: Your label is required to contain our standard Water Analysis breakdown, size, recycle and contact information. PDF, Adobe Illustrator and InDesign templates are available upon request.

#2 Be creative
Having your logo on a white background is fine but the best labels are eye-catching. Don’t be afraid to be bold with your design but remember to make it informative / functional.

Why not include your contact information as well, or maybe a QR code which once scanned by a smart phone can take your client directly to your website or promotional page.

We even have the facility to print on a clear / transparent label which could add an interesting dynamic to your design.

#3 Know your options.
As well as Plastic and Glass bottles we also have recently launched a “PEEL AND REVEAL” bottle which offers a removable double sided printed label, this is ideal for displaying information you want your potential clients to keep or it can be used as a redeemable voucher / discount token for your goods or services.

We also offer 19 different colours of both Screw Cap or Sports Caps (for our plastic bottles) and metallic white, black, silver or gold for our glass bottle range.

Our bottle sizes range from 250ml to 1.5 litre so be sure to match the size, bottle type, cap colour and style for your needs. Things like cap colour should be chosen to compliment your label artwork.

#4 In in doubt ask!
Not sure if your label is the right size, in need of advice on creative direction or If you require us to design your label for you please contact us, the Just a Drop Studio is always happy to help.

#5 Request a 3D demo.
One thing which makes Just a Drop unique is our ability to show you what your artwork looks like via our 3D rendering software.

3D demos are available for our plastic bottle range (including cap colour and screw cap or sports cap variations) our fortune cookies, flow wrapped sweets, flow wrapped mints, flow wrapped chocolates, biscuits, tea bags, energy drinks, juices and smoothies.
