Rose City Label is pleased to offer three exciting new eco-friendly label stock. These are premium stocks that we will inventory on our floor to avoid the large minimum purchase required with past ‘green’ label stock offerings. Manufacturers are really stepping up and providing cost effective, high quality label stocks for companies that want to go ‘green’.
Here are the new stocks:
60# Semigloss with 30% PCW Content – All Temp Adhesive – and Natural Kraft Liner
This is a premium paper that prints as well as anything we have in our shop – but 30% of the raw material comes from Post Consumer Waste. This is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, for a very very small up-charge, while still having a first rate print job.
FSC Certified 53# Coated One Side (C1S) – All Temp Adhesive – and Natural Kraft Liner
This thinner label stock is sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, sustainably managed raw material. The thinner face stock also means you are using about 10% less actual label material on each label, and if your label is machine applied, you get more labels per roll on your machine to reduce machine change-overs and down time.
Kona Light – All Temp Adhesive – and Natural Liner
This rough surfaced paper is made entirely from recycled coffee bags! This material is more expensive and it doesn’t print as well as the other two stock, but it is entirely tree free!
Adhesive and Liner
All three of these label stocks come with a very high quality all temp adhesive to serve a wide variety of needs. Most importantly, for the first time, they have a liner (backing paper) that is unbleached (reducing chemical pollution in the manufacturing) and the backing paper is fully recyclable with your standard corrugated recycling. These two great components, plus the face stocks listed above, really make these materials an ideal choice for a company trying to go ‘Green’ with their label purchasing.

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.

Congratulations to our long time customer, Southern Oregon Brewing for launching a beautiful new updated website. We especially like the wonderful photography that shows off all the nice labels we print for them!
Take a minute to check out their new site at http://www.sobrewing.com/ The site tells the story of Dr. Tom Hammond and his passion for beer, and introduces you to the other members of the SOB team. The photography really makes the site — not just the great shots of the beer in bottles, but the pub, the brewery, and the people that make it happen. Check out the site and then you will feel like a part of the SOB family next time you enjoy one of their amazing beers.
Congratulations Tom and crew for an excellent website update. Cheers!

Organic foods and beverages continue to be a growing, high margin category in almost every retail store. Many of our customers are in this product category and we love to help them with labels. There are, however, many additional tricks and traps required when you want to claim ‘organic’ status for your product. The links below provide many helpful examples and resources for you.
Background
In 2000, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) finalized the regulations relating to the National Organic Program (NOP) at 7 CFR Part 205. These rules provide new standards for the production, handling, processing, labeling, and marketing of products labeled with organic claims. While these rules were not written or implemented by TTB, they do apply to alcohol beverages. For this reason, TTB has worked closely with USDA to ensure that the alcohol beverage industry has current and accurate information regarding organic claims on labels.
Organic Labeling Resources
Label approvals and legal requirements are always the responsibility of the customer — we don’t provide legal advice, but we can provide resources, examples, and experience to help you through the process. Please call us today to see if we can help you navigate this area and bring your products to market with a beautiful, legal label. We look forward to helping you.

This great label applicator was very helpful as we helped our good customer label over 80 cases of wine in an afternoon. We don’t sell or rent applicators directly, but we do have many resources for our customers. If you need an applicator to rent or buy, please call us. We would be happy to help.
