In this interesting article from Packaging Digest, an interesting quirk in the world of beer label regulations is explained. This is partly a historical fight (turf war) between different government agencies, but it could have serious ramifications for brewers if they aren’t careful.
Surprisingly, required information on labels of beer sold in the U.S. depends on what ingredients are used to make the beer, not the alcohol level.
If you have specific questions, or you are just looking for a better source for beer labels, please contact us today. We print for over 55 breweries and we would be happy to add you to that growing list of happy customers.
Rose City Label is proud and humbled to be a part of a very select group of industry leaders brought together to help Xerox shape the future of label printing. We were invited along with 10 other thought leaders (7 from USA and 4 from Europe) to provide input into the Xerox entry into the digital label printing market.
This industry summit was a diverse group of successful label printers to provide unique insight into the needs of today’s leading label printers. Kudos to Xerox! They really want to know what we need-it is rare to find a world class company that is still listening to their customers.
Xerox has 140,000 worldwide employees in 160 countries and $21 Billion in revenue – and they are still asking how they can get better. The fundamental questions – and why we were all flown in for this summit – are:
What does the market need?
What are we good at?
When Xerox finds the intersection of these two questions, they will have a wining entry into the label market. Xerox already has an award-winning footprint in the commercial print market with the iGen family of production presses. We look forward to how they can move this technology forward into the label and packaging arena.
The details of their plans are confidential – so don’t ask – but I can tell you that this company has the intellectual horsepower to make a major impact on our industry. We are happy to be in the conversation to shape the future of the label industry.

We are very proud of our Family Business heritage – we are thrilled to be building on the legacy of old, heavy, expensive iron that used to define the printing business. This foundation still underlies all we do as a business – we provide fair pricing, we are honest with our customers, and we stand behind our work – no matter what.
Today the equipment is like science fiction, the margins are tight and the email and text communication flies faster than ever. But the foundation remains the same:
Quality printing, delivered on time, at a fair price.
Want to work with a state of the art company built on old fashioned values since 1928? Call us today.
Many of our best customers were offended by the InBev (Budweiser) ad during the Super Bowl. If you missed the ad, it is feature on one of the links below, but basically it just mocks the growing craft beer industry. It is ironic that InBev is trying to buy up craft breweries to try to stay relevant in an era when small, quality craft beers are eating into their market share every year.
“It’s not brewed to be slammed, It’s brewed to taste good.”
Are they fans of craft beer? Or are they just terrified that craft beer is taking over their industry.
These videos from Hop Stories and Ninkasi tell the story very well – great reply to the Super Bowl ads – watch and enjoy!

The new HP Indigo Press is up and running full speed. We are excited to help more customers with this amazing new technology. Our first few orders have been very well received by our customers. Since the press is all digital, it really is more like running a large super computer than a mechanical printing press. There are still many, many complicated moving parts, but it is all driven by a digital control system, which makes all the printing as accurate and repeatable as anything available in the industry.
We are still growing into this press and we look forward to sharing more and more about it. For now, please just remember us for ANY label you may need. We have a solution for every label – large to small and any run length.
Thanks for your trust and confidence – call us when your next label project comes along – I think you will be very pleased with what we can do for you.
