Metal Wine Label Embossed Stickers 3M Strong Adhesive

Self-adhesive metal labels for wine, spirit and perfume bottles, stamped and embossed from aluminium and other metallic materials and finished in silver, gold, satin, matte, brushed or anodised. Decoration is by silkscreen or CMYK printing over the metal, with the logo raised by embossing or stamped into a brushed ground. Material thickness sits in the 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm range and fixing is by 3M strong adhesive, performance adhesives or mechanical holes and studs where the label goes onto a rigid product. Bought by drinks and fragrance brands who need the bottle to signal a higher price point on the shelf.

Key Benefits

What This Product Gives You

  • A metal label reads as a higher value product on the shelf than a paper label at the same bottle price
  • 3M strong adhesive holds the label through chilling, condensation and handling that lifts paper labels
  • Embossing raises the brand mark off the metal so the logo is felt when the bottle is picked up
  • Six background finishes from brushed to anodised let the label match the closure and capsule already specified
  • Metal labels have a long lifespan, so a display or gift bottle still looks correct after months on a shelf
  • Fixing holes and studs are available where the label is applied to a rigid item rather than glass

Comparison

Compared With the Alternatives

AlternativeHow This Compares
Paper wine labelMetal gives premium branding, a long lifespan and strong shelf presence, but it is the highest cost option and is slower to apply
Printed self-adhesive film labelFilm is the cheapest option with fast production and easy automation, at the cost of lower durability and lower perceived value
Hot foil stamped paper labelFoil mimics a metallic look at low cost, while a true metal label has depth and weight that foil on paper cannot reproduce
Use Guide

Getting the Best Result

  • Supply artwork as AI, CorelDraw, hi-res PDF, PSD or EPS with fonts converted to outlines
  • Keep embossed elements bold; fine hairlines flatten when stamped into thin metal
  • Match the background finish to the capsule and closure already specified for the bottle
  • Choose 3M adhesive for glass bottles and fixing holes or studs for rigid product bodies
  • Clean and degrease the bottle surface before applying so the adhesive bonds fully
  • Allow for the slower application speed of metal labels when planning a bottling run
