Labels for the bottle neck
Printed bottle neck labels
Neck labels are applied to the neck of the bottle and show brand, variety or vintage where the eye falls first. We print and die cut them to fit your bottle.
Benefits for your application
The key selection benefits at a glance.
Die cut to fit the bottle neck
The arched contour follows the shape of your bottle so that the label lies flat without wrinkles.
Matched to the label set
We plan paper, colours and finishing together with the front and back labels so that the bottle looks consistent.
Tamper-evident on request
A strip over the closure shows whether the bottle has already been opened.
Specification
Neck labels from Hummel Print
A neck label sits between the shoulder and the closure. As a neck band it runs all the way round, as a crescent it only faces the front, and as a narrow strip it runs over the closure and down the neck. Because the neck tapers towards the top, we die cut the contour in an arc. That way the label sits without wrinkles.
For the contour we need the neck diameter at the top and bottom, the height of the label area and the shape of the closure. Ideally, send us a sample bottle. On it we check with the print sample that the label lies flat and leaves the main label and the closure clear.

Applications
Typical applications
Beer
In a crate you only see the neck of each bottle. Variety, brewery and seasonal beer are recognisable there at a glance.
Wine and sparkling wine
Vintage, quality grade or awards at the neck complement the label set. More on the page Wine labels.
Spirits and gin
Limited bottlings and editions are marked at the neck. A strip over the closure secures the first opening at the same time.
Juices and soft drinks
New flavours and promotions catch the eye at the bottle neck in the chiller cabinet.
Olive oil and delicatessen in bottles
Origin, harvest or variety go on the neck, the main label stays free for the product details.
Cosmetics and personal care
A narrow strip over the closure marks new products, varieties or care lines.
If the information should wrap the whole product, a sleeve is the right design. If the main aim is to secure the closure, closure labels are the answer.
