Consumers are drinking differently. Smart wineries are packaging differently. The wine industry is entering a moment where packaging innovation is no longer a nice-to-have.  It is becoming essential. As consumer habits shift, wineries need to look seriously at how they will integrate new formats and sizes into their production plans. Smaller formats, single-serves, multi-packs, pouches, and other alternative packaging have all seen steady, quiet growth. This is not a fad. It is a response to how people actually want to drink wine today. Consumers are exploring more, committing less, and looking for ways to enjoy wine that fit their real lives. They want options that support moderation, convenience, sustainability, and trial.  A four-pack of 250 mL cans allows someone to try a winery without buying a full bottle. A lightweight pouch is ideal for hiking or concerts. A half-bottle makes a midweek glass feel approachable rather than indulgent. When wineries resist these changes

Design is the message. And when you print directly on glass, that message becomes unforgettable. We’ve seen millions of bottles come through our print lines, and certain design styles just work. They don’t need a label to stand out — they let the glass do the talking. In this week’s post, we’re showcasing 5 design styles that look beautiful on glass and create real shelf impact. • No labels. • No templates. • Just creativity, printed straight to the bottle. Below see the 5 styles — and reach out if you want help designing yours.

Choosing Wine is an Emotional Decision Red, white, or sparkling – when reaching for a bottle on the wine shelf, it’s not just about the grape, origin or vintage. The chosen wine stands out from the crowd and makes an impression visually and to the touch. Labels make all the difference. They highlight the quality of the fine drop, tell stories, and reflect character. On just a few square centimetres, they give a brand a distinctive face in a world of standard bottles. Whether and how this is perceived can significantly influence the product’s success. If the packaging doesn’t appeal, even the best wine inside won’t help. First Impressions Count Let’s be honest. First: the initial impression – the “moment of truth” – is crucial. Second: even well-known brands need to prove themselves on the shelf. Third: the traditional wet-glue label is no longer the benchmark. Pressure Sensitive Labels (PSL) demonstrate that an attractive app

As we move into the summer shipping season, the overall supply chain remains relatively stable – though a few indicators are beginning to shift. Here’s what we’re seeing across the key areas impacting glass packaging and logistics. Glass supply is holding steady, with no significant disruptions reported across domestic or international sources. Availability has remained neutral for several months now, though specific bottle types and molds still see some intermittent constraints. That said, there is a growing awareness in the industry of potential pressure on furnace capacity later this year. Conversations are underway about potential closures in Q4, which could result in tighter availability in early 2026 if demand remains stable or increases. Diesel prices edged downward in May, offering slight relief for overland freight. The national average fell from $3.567 per gallon in April to $3.499 in May. This small but welcome drop comes at a time when other transportation
