<p>Decorate your bottles this season with a full wrapped label design!</p>
<p>										So, what&#39;s a full wrap? It&#39;s a <strong>paperless label that wraps 360&ordm;</strong> around your bottle! Full wrap labels will give you the ultimate design experience where you can create compelling artwork your customers can engage with. This technique offers the largest amount of printable space, allowing you to maximize your creativity.</p>
<p>										Full wraps are fun, yet dynamic because they&#39;re not confined to any edges, <strong>they&#39;re seamless</strong>. You won&#39;t even notice where the label starts or ends! Take this opportunity to convey a message, create a captivating look, or simply, put an octopus on your design. <em>Either way, it&#39;ll look elegant. </em></p>
<p>										Developing a full wrap design is fun and easy. Ask our team of designers for tips and pointers on how to make your full wrap an eye catching design.</span></span></p>

<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen it before in newspaper prints or magazine ads &#8211; the dot patterns you&#8217;ve seen were actually <strong>halftones</strong>!</p>
<p>In screen printing, halftones are methods of emulating <strong>gradients</strong> through the use of dot patterns in various shapes and sizes. It is a technique often used by designers as a way to <em>simulate a fading effect</em> in screen printing. You can apply halftones to your design when you have:</p>
<ul>
<li>gradients.</li>
<li>gradual fading in the colors.</li>
<li>colors blending together.</li>
<li>photographic images.</li>
</ul>
<p>        Halftones  offers a more unique look by adding an extra level of detail to your  design. It is also an easy solution for those who wants to achieve  gradient effects on screen printed bottles. </p></div>

<p>Want to add something <em>unique</em> to your bottle? Printing on the side of your bottle can add a <strong>whole new level of design.</strong> Side labels are easy to apply when you screen print. It offers extra space to share information and unlike traditional paper labels, you don&#8217;t have to limit yourself to just the front and back of your bottle.</p>
<p>The additional space can be used to share a special story about your wine, spirit, or beer. You can also place other information such as the Government Warning label, UPC bar codes and even QR codes. The possibilities are endless, but most of all, <strong>be creative with your side labels.</strong> You can distinguish your label design with screen printing technology!</p>
<p>If you have a brilliant idea and want to make it happen, our design team can provide you with insight on how to make it work.</p>

<p><em>Paper</em> labels have some severe limitations.  The edges of the paper constrain your layout and art is often cut off abruptly.  <em>Paperless</em> labels allow you to &ldquo;float&rdquo; your label art, or spread it out across the surface of the bottle.</p>
<p>        When you open your label up and give it some breathing room, two things happen:</p>
</p></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><strong>Your label becomes easier to read.</strong>  A comfortable amount of space between label elements allows your customers to comprehend the details individually, rather than all at  once.</li>
<li><strong>Less clutter means more focus for your brand.</strong>  Your logo will be more memorable when it isn&rsquo;t crowded into the rest of your  design.</li>
</ol></div>
<div>
<p>Take these points into consideration when designing your paperless label.  If you have an existing label that you want to convert into a paperless design, the transition may be easier than you think.  <strong>Our designers are happy to help.</strong></p>

<p>That isn&#8217;t just descriptive text on the back of your bottle &#8211; it&#8217;s <em>opportunity</em>.

<td width="208">When designing a paperless label, you automatically have the the story-telling advantage. Without paper boundaries, <strong>your story is free to use much more of the bottle&#8217;s surface</strong>.</p>
<p>            Text can fall anywhere between the start of the shoulder down to a few millimeters above bottle mold markings. That means you&#8217;ll have plenty of space for your story despite all the other required label elements.</p>
