Custom Wine Labels
Our award-winning wines ship with your choice of Northwest Cellars labels,
or a custom wine label.
Your custom wine bottle labels on our award winning wines can give your occasion, fundraiser, or even your "house red" that little extra something to set it apart. A custom wine label that is carefully crafted and attached to a great bottle of wine will be a gift they never forget. This service is great for:
- Business gifts- Thank special clients or valued employees with custom wine bottles
- Weddings - Mark the occasion with wine bottle labels commemorating the happy couple
- Hotels & Restaurants - Custom wine labels for your catering service or restaurant
- Something else - Order personalized wine bottles by the case... or just one with your special message. We don't mind!
Northwest Cellars has made the process of creating your custom wine label easy and enjoyable. Find inspiration from our label gallery. You can design your own with graphics or photos that you provide. Another option would be to work with our amazing wine label design team! Combine it with one of our wines and you are sure to have a happy recipient.
No custom wine bottle is complete without a custom label. Follow our instructions below to begin creating a unique and memorable gift of a custom wine label for your custom bottle of wine.

PRINTING AND COLOR
- All printing is 4-color CMYK laser
- It is best not to use a border, just bleed the background to the edge
- DO NOT use a black or dark background. We recommend avoiding high contrast - such as black with a white border. Due to the printing process, this may lead to smudge marks which we are not responsible for. If you have any questions or concerns we are happy to help work through the design with you.
- Color matching is as accurate as possible but will most likely vary slightly from what is displayed on a computer monitor. Please let us know ahead of time if you have any concerns.

QUICK TIPS FOR THE BEST LABELS
1. PDF file, 300 dpi minimum resolution
2. Bleed background to edge with no text close to edge, since this will be trimmed
3. NO crop or printer marks
4. DO NOT use dark backgrounds or large dark areas: due to the printing process this can lead to smudge marks.
5. Avoid borders
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING...
"I used them for a fundraiser recently, Bob made it very easy & lucrative to raise money there. His new room makes it a perfect setting. I'm very please with how the event went. They're dog friendly as well, being an animal lover it brings a nice feel to it."
