We believe that a beer’s label is as essential as its taste and perception. A beer label is the first thing customers see and plays a vital role in their decision-making process. With over 40 years of experience, Red Oak Label provides high-quality, custom-printed labels that make your craft beer stand out and communicate your brand’s story. Many people enjoy beer, but how do you know what kind of beer you're drinking?
Custom printed labels for beer bottles are a great way to align your brand with your products. The benefits go beyond making your bottles stand out in the store — they also let you communicate what's inside and build brand recognition among customers. You can use custom craft beer labels to share ingredient and allergen information to let customers know exactly what they're buying.
Types of Craft Beer Labels
Like a beer's contents, its label can come in all types and sizes. We're here to help you find the right label for your brew.
Pressure-Sensitive Labels
Pressure-sensitive labels are a classic option for beer labels. They're high-quality, versatile, and easy to use. They adhere securely to surfaces without requiring heat, solvent, or water during application, making them convenient for breweries.
We use a specially formulated material/adhesive combo that comes in white, clear, or metallic and stays put in wet and damp environments. Partnered with a matte or gloss lamination or a UV coating, your label artwork will not fade or smear.
Pressure-sensitive beer labels are a great choice if you want an easy-to-use, high-quality option.
Glue-Applied Labels
Glue-applied labels provide a cost-effective solution for breweries looking to label their beer bottles efficiently. These labels are applied using adhesive glue that adheres firmly to the bottle's surface. Their sharp appearance sets them apart, making them ideal for large production runs where consistency and quality are paramount.
Despite their strong adhesion, these labels can be removed effortlessly after use, allowing for easy recycling or reusing bottles without residue. The main advantages of glue-applied labels are their low cost, easy production, and sharp appearance.
Benefits of Custom Beer Label Printing

Visual Appeal
The visual appeal of your beer label can significantly impact its shelf presence and consumer perception. High-quality, custom-designed labels enhance the overall packaging aesthetics, making your product stand out among competitors. Eye-catching designs, vibrant colors, and professional printing techniques draw customers' attention, prompting them to pick up your bottle and explore further. In a crowded market where first impressions matter, visually appealing labels can influence purchase decisions, driving sales and brand recognition.
Brand Identity
Custom craft beer labels play a crucial role in establishing and reinforcing your brand identity. By incorporating unique designs, colors, and branding elements, these labels help align your beer with your overall brand image. This consistency across your product line makes it instantly recognizable on store shelves, strengthening brand awareness and customer loyalty. Whether you're a new brewery looking to establish your presence or an established brand aiming to refresh your image, custom labels can effectively help convey your brand story and values.
Communication
Beyond aesthetics, craft beer bottle labels are vital communication tools for informing consumers about your product. Labels can convey essential information such as ingredients, brewing techniques, tasting notes, and allergen warnings. Clear and accurate information builds trust with consumers, empowering them to make informed purchasing decisions. With regulatory requirements often mandating such disclosures, well-designed labels comply with legal standards and enhance customer confidence in your product's quality and transparency.
