In the world of winemaking, the label on a bottle is more than just a piece of paper. It is a canvas that tells the story of the wine within, reflecting its character, history, and craftsmanship. In recent years, a new trend has emerged – the harmonious marriage of traditional paper label design with the contemporary allure of screen printing. Let's dive into the intricate artistry of designing wine bottle labels that seamlessly integrate both paper label and screen print elements. THE UNIQUENESS OF PAPER LABEL & SCREEN PRINT DESIGN Paper labels have been an integral part of the wine industry for centuries, offering a tangible connection to tradition and heritage. Meanwhile, screen printing brings a modern edge, allowing for intricate designs, vibrant colors, and a tactile experience that engages all the senses. By combining these two techniques, winemakers and designers are able to achieve a label that resonates with both history and innovation. THE CREATIVE PROCE

We often get asked whether we offer any design services at Bergin Screen Printing and Etching. The answer is YES! We provide custom design services for both screen print and etching projects, including custom illustration and artwork.  At BERGIN, you can trust our talented designers to refine, optimize, and enhance the details of your label without losing any of the magic. We are happy to work with you on redesign as well, particularly when converting from paper to screen print or helping introduce screen printed labels into your portfolio.  Our Process Once you begin a project with us, you’re assigned a dedicated Account Executive and a Production Artist who will oversee your project from start to finish, typically three to four months depending on complexity. We take on order logistics, including interfacing with your glass supplier to make sure all pieces come together on time. Custom Artwork Development Whether we’re working alongside your designer,&nb

From custom artwork recreation to hand painted labels, etching is the most authentic and artistic way to capture your brand's essence. If you'd like to learn how we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in wine bottle decorating, here's a closer look at our partnership with Realm Cellars. BEHIND THE BOTTLE Realm Cellars has been etching large format bottles with BERGIN since 2014. Every single label we have produced for them over the years comes with unique and bespoke detail. We consider the Realm series to be a collection of some of the most complex etched and painted bottles we produce. Their labels continue to push the capabilities of artisanal painting on glass, creating one of a kind works of art inside and outside the bottle. DESIGN DETAILS Since Realm labels have color in every single layer, it is important for us to first figure out what phase of sandblasting to use. This is to ensure our etched layers and depth allow the correct color layer
