We provide labels to many wineries in the Northwest. Most of them are small to mid sized operations that outsource their bottling. Mobile bottling is a wonderful way for wineries to save on the huge investment they need for a dedicated bottling line that they will only use a few times a year. Outsourcing this function to the pros is a very smart business decision. Bottling day can be stressful – it is important to get it right.
We like working with these professionals to make sure our labels are applied correctly and our end customer is happy.
While we don’t have any formal relationship with either of these companies, we have had many happy customers that have used both of them over the years. Call them both to compare cost, schedule, and other special services that may be useful for your next bottling run.
1. Casteel Custom Bottling – www.casteelcustombottling.com – 971-237-7817
2. Signature Mobile Bottlers – www.signaturebottlers.com – 503-655-4012
Call either of these great companies if you need professional help getting your wine bottled. Call us for your labels, or any other resources we can provide in the area of product packaging. We are happy to help.

Out with the Old Technology – the Green Way!
When we did more offset and letterpress printing, labels needed hours or even days to dry. Drying racks (as shown in the left photo) were stacked all over the shop in order to help ink dry on labels before they were wound into rolls. Today, our inks don’t need that much time to dry, and honestly our customers won’t wait that long to get their orders. The Drying Racks are useless to us – but what do we do with them?
Our creative crew is always looking for good things to do, so we broke them down and recycled them:
- The wood is being taken home to burn by one of our employees
- The metal is being recycled at the scrap metal depot where we take our obsolete cutting dies
This is just one small example of how ‘green’ has been baked into our company culture. If you want to work with an environmental leader, please call us today – we would love to help you.

This beautiful 2 Color label was a perfect way for our good customer, Lachini Vineyards, to extend their product line without diluting their main premium wine brand, they wanted to create a secondary label that was very distinct from the look and feel of their main product line.
This wine will be sold for a much lower price point, so the label also had to be cost effective. With a very simple, understated design, combined with the embossing effect, all parties were pleased with the end result. This label will cost about half of what the standard premium wine label costs, but it still has a very eye-catching look that will help the wine stand out on the shelf.
Creative solutions are what we do best at Rose City Label — give us a challenge and we will meet it for you. If you want to extend your product line – either up or down the quality scale – we can help you with a design and printing method to meet all your marketing goals.
We use the proper materials and technology to translate your marketing ideas into business success stories. Call us today.

Many people are successful in business for different reasons – they are excellent technically, they have amazing service, they sell for the lowest price… All of these and more can be the reason that a person or company could be successful in business.
Regardless of what your strength is in business, one thing remains constant – you have to know your numbers!
Numbers, both financial and operational, are the lifeblood of any business. Numbers are the true language of business and the numbers don’t lie. Despite our best efforts, or our various feelings about how things are going during a week or a month, the real truth always comes back to the numbers. At Rose City Label we try to measure what we do so we can find ways to improve for our customers. Here are a few of our numbers from Q1 2014:
- 834 quotes created
- 752 work orders created
- 3928 web visitors with an average time of 1:48 on site and 2.3 pages visited
- 47 new customers
These aren’t the only numbers we track, but we wanted to share these data points to give you a look inside our business. What do you track? How does it help you? Our goal is to help our customers succeed. We primarily do that with excellent quality labels to promote their products, but we are happy to help in other ways. All our customers, and indeed all businesses, share many of the same challenges, so we are happy to help in other ways beyond label printing. Have questions? Call us today!

As we continue to grow, we find it more and more important to be even more organized. We have always prided ourselves on a very organized, clean shop. We are taking that to the next level with this latest update. We added this racking to our back warehouse area to make sure our primary storage area can be even more efficient.
- More designated roll stock storage locations – expanding our product selection for you
- Faster access – fewer chances for error
- Less wasted time – quicker press setups – faster label delivery
One of the advantages of being in business for 86 years is that you have experienced people and you know how to do your job very well. But, as we continue to grow we are challenging these assumptions, finding better ways to solve new problems, and working hard to learn and evolve as a company.
Thank you for helping us on this journey! We couldn’t grow, evolve, or prosper like we are without your support. How can we help you? Call us today!
