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.

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.

We are always thrilled when our customers say nice things about us. This website is all about communicating the value and expertise we bring to our customers, but oftentimes the customers can say it much better than we can:
The quality of their labels is top-notch, but that is actually secondary to their level of service. Because of Shaun’s attention to detail, we have been alerted to errors within our own graphics, saving us time, money, and embarrassment.
We are frequently courted by other label companies, receiving expensive label portfolios on a near-weekly basis. Nothing any other company could offer us compares to the quality and service we receive from Shaun and Rose City.
Thanks to all of you that trust us with your labels – we take the responsibility seriously and we always do what it takes to make it happen. Read the full letter by clicking here.
Cheers!

We have been very blessed at Rose City Label the past few years as more and more customers trust us with their label business. We need to earn and re-earn that trust every day, and part of that is our obligation to responsibly stay in step with current technology and innovation. To that end, we journey to Chicago every two years to preview the new and exciting developments in printing, cutting, and stamping equipment. This is the mecca of label equipment where all the heavy hitters gather to compare notes and keep in touch with the future.
This year was no exception – many new innovations, many new companies, and many new printing devices. Digital printing is hot and getting hotter. The energy at the show was electric – just as our company has grown and prospered the past few years, so has the whole industry. People are excited and ready to invest – they are moving forward, just like us.
In the next few weeks you will see more and more posts about the future plans for Rose City Label. We know we need to invest in order continue to meet customer needs – there are so many options – the choices are endless. We will make some decisions soon, and we will keep you posted about what you can expect from us in the new year and years beyond.
Stay tuned – and thank you, all of you, for your confidence and trust. Your business allows us to profitably lead our company into the future – without you, we have no capital to invest with and nobody to invest for. Stay tuned – the future is bright and are glad you are a part of it.

We are excited to add another great customer to our family, with a beautiful new label material. Like so many advancements we make, this one was driven by a customer with a very specific need. We thank him for his patience as we researched this material and found the best ways to print and cut it for this label project.
Besides the creative packaging, Portland Bee Balm has a wonderful product made from all natural ingredients. Like most successful small businesses, this one began with a passion and grew into a business. Brad and Anika are committed to building an environmentally and socially responsible company. Everything about their product and company is built on the foundation of these values. Learn more about their company and how to support them by clicking here.
We now have two different wood species to offer as a label stock – Birch and Cherry. Both materials look beautiful and provide a wonderful way to make your product stand out on the retail shelf. If you have an organic, natural, or hand made product (food, beverage, cosmetic, or other), please consider this label material for your next project.
Call us today – we love challenging projects. Thanks to our customers for always moving is forward with exciting new projects.
