Cider Labels
Cider bottle labels can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, whether you would prefer them on a waterproof material or a paper material. They also need to fit the size bottle that your cider is supplied in.
With the alcohol industry expected to grow 16% per year from 2022-2025, it is important to keep up with an already very competitive market. It is important to stand out against your competitors and a cool looking attractive label is the best way to grab the customer’s attention. It is not just the Craft Beer companies that are creating funky designs for their products, cider labels are starting to follow the same trend. Create a professional bespoke label that you can proudly display on your cider bottles.
Whether you are just starting up or already an established brewery selling many bottles every week, we have you covered. Feel free to email info@roll-labels.com or call us 0330 111 8484

The information required on a cider label may vary depending on the regulations in the country or region where the cider is sold. However, here are some common elements that are typically included on a cider label:
Product name: This should clearly identify the product as a cider.
Alcohol content: This should be displayed as a percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV) or alcohol by weight (ABW), depending on local regulations.
Ingredients: This should include a list of the ingredients used to make the cider, in descending order by weight. This may be required by law, depending on the region.
Allergen information: If the cider contains any ingredients that are known allergens, such as sulphites, this must be declared on the label.
Volume: The volume of the cider must be clearly displayed on the label, typically in milliliters (ml) or fluid ounces (fl oz).
Producer information: This should include the name and address of the producer or bottler of the cider.
Country of origin: This should indicate the country where the cider was produced.
Lot or batch code: This is a unique code that identifies the batch or lot of cider that the bottle belongs to.
In addition to these required elements, the cider label may also include other information, such as tasting notes, food pairing suggestions, certifications and more.
Where can you put a Cider Label on a bottle?
Neck label – Not everyone chooses to have a neck label, it is not important to have but can give a nice finishing touch to the top of your cider bottle. This often just consists of a small logo or slogan. Although only 6% of visual attention goes onto the neck, companies still spend a minimum of £ 3 billion per year at an average 1p per label (That’s a lot of labels!)
Back Label – Going by the law, this is your most important label, the most boring but most important. This would include the alcohol strength and units, producer, ingredients, and expiration date. Although only 4% spend time viewing this label, you can’t sell your product without it, so make sure it is perfect!
Front Label –Going from the stats of research from Anglia Ruskin University, the other 90% of the customers viewing is on the front label. The artistic, creative, good-looking side. The side where you show off your product and make those extra sales! We can help you get your artwork ready and print the perfect label.
Wrap-Around Label – The wrap around label is a combination of the front and back label into a singular label around the whole bottle. These are most popular for smaller bottles and can labels, providing all the information you need in one size and job run.
Labelling Materials for Cider Labels
Waterproof plastic labels are a great choice for labeling cider bottles because they are resistant to moisture and can withstand exposure to ice, water, and condensation. This is especially important for ciders that are often stored in coolers or refrigerators, where temperature fluctuations can cause condensation to form on the bottle.
For extra water resistance, we recommend a gloss laminate over the top to ensure that the print is as protected as the label.
Semi-gloss paper labels are a popular choice for cider bottles for several reasons. Firstly, their moderate shine provides a professional and high-quality look, which is important for branding and marketing purposes. Secondly, semi-gloss paper labels are easy to print on and can accommodate a variety of colours and designs, making them a versatile choice for labeling cider bottles. Thirdly, they are cost-effective and can be produced in large quantities, which is ideal for cider makers who need to label their products in bulk.
A gloss varnish and gloss laminate are excellent options for cider labels due to their ability to provide an extra layer of protection and enhance the label’s visual appeal. The gloss varnish provides a high level of glossiness, creating a luxurious and shiny finish that adds to the product’s premium look. Similarly, a gloss laminate provides a high level of glossiness, but it is thicker and more durable than a gloss varnish, making it a suitable option for products that require more protection.
