Labeling for food and beverage products: standards, uses, and tailored solutions
Clear information with industrial constraints in mind
Labeling in the food and beverage sector must comply with strict regulatory standards. It needs to convey essential information to consumers while adapting to the realities of production and storage.
Labels typically include:
- Product type (beverage or food item)
- Country of origin and bottling/packaging location
- Technical details (alcohol content, sugar levels, volume in ml)
- Batch number or traceability code
- Ingredient list, conservation advice, expiry dates, nutritional information
A dual function: inform and attract
For beverages (beer, wine, juices, spirits, etc.) and packaged food products, labels play a dual role:
- Clearly informing the consumer
- Enhancing product visibility on shelves
They must be legible, durable, and suited to demanding storage conditions: refrigeration, humidity, condensation, even immersion in ice.
Labeling solutions for all packaging formats
A technical offering tailored to the sector
We offer a wide range of labels designed to meet the specific needs of the food and beverage industry:
- Adhesive labels (standard or technical)
- Blank labels for variable data printing
- Peel off labels, booklets, peel-off formats for extended content
- Sleeves for 360° packaging coverage, ideal for bottles and cylindrical formats
- IML (In-Mould Labeling) for seamless integration into rigid containers
- Specific formats designed for logistics, technical, or marketing constraints
Enhancing your product without overdoing It
Some projects require special finishes for visual or functional purposes. We offer:
- Selective varnishes, tactile effects, and braille
- Hot or cold foil stamping
- Specialty inks (olfactive, thermochromic, moisture-reactive)
We also work with recyclable, biodegradable, and bio-based materials, integrated into a responsible packaging approach without compromising quality.
Printing technologies chosen for your needs
Technical choices aligned with your product and environment
The printing process is selected based on several criteria: label format, design, production volume, and storage conditions.
Our production facilities enable us to tailor output with precision, combining quality, durability, and speed:
- UV Offset printing
- Digital printing (offset & inkjet)
- Water-based and UV Flexography
- Screen printing, standalone or hybrid (screen + flexo UV / screen + digital)
At Stratus Packaging, we approach each project with a clear understanding of real-life constraints, technical needs, and brand objectives.
Our goal: to deliver reliable, tailored labeling solutions that integrate seamlessly into your production and packaging processes.
