Recently, The Premier Print Awards, presented by Printing Industries of America (PIA), were announced with Label Works winning a Premier Print Award – Certificate of Merit in the Special Innovations category for our Warehouse Winery label.

Creating eye-catching labels for customers is a source of pride for Label Works. When Warehouse Winery requested a distinctive look for their labels, the Label Works team knew that full color printing using Color-Logic’s Process Metallic Color System was the perfect combination. With Label Works being one of only three certified label printers in the United States to offer Color-Logic, Warehouse Winery’s labels would truly stand out as Color-Logic label printing is extremely limited in today’s market.

The Color-Logic system allows printers to create up to 250 different metallic colors in a single print run along with different effects such as gradations, watermarks and dimension; when applied to labels, the system allows customers to have a unique looking label printed without the expensive costs for foils, embossing or dies for different shapes. Traditionally, printing with metallic inks or trying to create a metallic effect with two or more colors is difficult; with Color-Logic, the Label Works’ designer manipulated portions of Warehouse Winery’s design to incorporate metallic effects while allowing the rest of the label to print as a traditional full color label. During this process, Label Works created several different designs for the customer to review using a variety of the effects offered through Color-Logic so the customer could choose the appearance that most appropriately displayed their ideas.

The label was printed digitally on an HP Indigo 4500 with the Color-Logic Enhancements; the final printing included four color process plus white ink and a matte UV Varnish on silver stock.

Against the matte finish, the Color-Logic effects pop: the metallic red of the “No. 10”, the metallic blue for “Warehouse Winery”, the green and purple seal on the lower right side and the raven holding a cluster of grapes to the left of the “10.” With Color-Logic, Warehouse Winery could add the effect of having the bottom of the “10” appear with a metallic effect while not interfering with the wine type “Frontenac Merlot” in dark blue below it.
