How to use this mockup

  1. Start from the Ø100 × 220 mm sample or type your own size.
  2. Upload your label or artwork.
  3. Turn it in 3D, export a picture or video, or stage a scene.

Trade tips

  • Place a bottle label on the straight part of the body; a flat label wrinkles over the shoulder and neck.
  • Plan the space for the required information (ingredients, dates, maker) from the start, not at the end.
  • Paper labels do not like water: use plastic labels for fridges and bathrooms.
  • Gloss lamination deepens colours but shows fingerprints and glare under shelf lights.

What is the glass gourd bottle sample printed on?

The sample is paper decal 80 gsm with gloss lamination.

Construction

A glass bottle is blow-moulded in one piece — body, shoulder, neck and a threaded or cork finish — so the designer's work is the label set: body label, neck label, seal strip and sometimes a shrink capsule over the closure. Body labels are applied by a reel labeller or by hand and must sit on the straight section between shoulder and heel. The closure — aluminium screw cap, cork, wooden stopper, swing top or crystal stopper — decides where the tamper seal goes.

Choosing board and material

80 gsm coated paper self-adhesive label stock suits dry goods, spirits and gift bottles; fish sauce, oils and juices that go into a fridge or ice bucket need white or clear PP film labels, because paper stains and lifts with oil, salt and condensation. Wine and premium spirits often use textured felt papers or wet-strength label paper. For a ‘no-label look’ on clear glass use clear PP with a white underprint.

Finishing

Paper labels are normally gloss- or matte-laminated so they survive rubbing in the shipping carton; spirits and gift ranges suit hot foil, blind or registered embossing and raised spot UV. For long runs, direct screen printing on glass or a full-body shrink sleeve is an option, but both need dedicated tooling and are slow to change compared with labels.

Preparing the print file

Measure the circumference of the straight section (π × diameter); leave a 3–5 mm gap for a partial wrap or add a 5–10 mm overlap for a full wrap, and keep the label at least 5 mm short of the shoulder and heel at each end. Use 2 mm bleed and a 3 mm safe zone, and on round bottles run the barcode vertically (ladder orientation) so a scanner can read it. Sloped shoulders, tapered bodies and teardrop shapes need a curved fan-shaped label, never a plain rectangle.

Common mistakes

  • Measuring at the widest bulge for a full-wrap label: on the narrower straight section the overlap is too big, so the label wrinkles and the glue line shows.
  • Putting a rectangular label on a sloped shoulder or tapered body: it creases and one end flags up within days.
  • Using paper labels on fish sauce or cooking oil bottles: oil wicks in from the edge, ink bleeds and the label yellows on the shelf.
  • Running the barcode horizontally on a bottle under 50 mm across: the symbol wraps round the curve, its ends distort out of view and the till scanner struggles.

Questions and answers

Where does the label go on a two-bulb glass gourd bottle?

There is no straight section, so avoid wrap labels; a small round label on the lower bulb, a tag tied at the waist or a seal over the wooden stopper looks best.

What occasions suit a glass gourd liquor bottle?

Rice wine and infused liquor as Tết or thank-you gifts; the gourd shape is a luck symbol, and it is usually packed in a gift box with a shaped insert because it doesn't stand firmly in a carton.

Paper or film labels for glass bottles?

Paper labels suit spirits, honey and dry products kept dry; anything oily, salty or chilled needs PP film, which doesn't absorb water or tear when the bottle sweats.

How do I size a wrap-around label for a round bottle?

Multiply the diameter of the straight section by 3.14 for the circumference, add 5–10 mm for a full-wrap overlap, and take the straight height minus about 10 mm so the label clears the shoulder and heel.

When should a bottle be screen printed instead of labelled?

When the run is large, the design will stay unchanged for a long time and you want a premium look that survives ice water; labels remain better for small runs, many SKUs or information that changes often.
