Label of the Month-April 2026: Premium Wine Label Printing for Squerryes Rosé Magnum
Share
High-end wine labels increasingly rely on finish layering rather than heavy design to signal quality. The Squerryes Rosé Magnum exemplifies this shift - combining hot foil precision, tactile screen printing, and ultra matt varnish to create premium shelf presence without visual clutter. Every material and finish choice has been carefully considered to balance appearance, texture and on-bottle performance. Designed for a magnum format, it balances visual restraint with tactile impact - a combination that defines high-end wine bottle labels.
Label specification
Beneath the soft pink palette sits a carefully constructed material and finish combination designed to elevate both look and feel.
The label is printed on Aqua Proof Orion pearlescent stock, chosen for its subtle shimmer and durability. This type of material is often used in custom wine labels where a refined, light-catching surface adds depth without relying on heavy ink coverage.
Finishing is where the label really comes to life. Hot foil is applied with controlled registration to create crisp metallic detailing that lifts key elements of the design. This is paired with high-build screen, adding a raised tactile layer that gives the label structure and presence in hand.
To balance this, an ultra matt varnish is applied across the base, softening reflections and creating contrast against both the foil and the raised screen. The result is a label that feels layered, not busy; where every element has space to do its job.
Performance in chilled conditions
Wine label printing isn’t just about appearance - especially for bottles that move between cellar, fridge and table service. Materials and finishes need to perform consistently in moisture-heavy conditions without compromising presentation.
Aqua Proof Orion provides the resilience expected from water-resistant wine labels, helping maintain adhesion and surface integrity in chilled environments. The ultra matt varnish reduces glare under retail and hospitality lighting, while foil and screen elements ensure branding remains sharp through handling.
A High Tack Permanent adhesive is paired with a glassine liner, creating a construction suited to labels for wine bottles where reliable adhesion and consistent application are critical. This ensures the label holds firmly on glass surfaces, even in colder conditions, while supporting clean release and smooth performance during application.
