Big Help for
Tiny Wineries
Packaging suppliers advise how smaller
customers can find savings
By Jane Firstenfeld
O
f more than 10,000 North American wineries currently reported by
WinesVinesData, more than 8,000 are categorized as "very small"
(fewer than 5,000 cases produced annually). About half of those
have what's termed "limited production" (fewer than 1,000 cases).
This Sara Nelson design project got small-winery client Kolibri
Vineyards "a lot of bang for the buck." Labels were printed on a me-
tallic stock to create the illusion of foil without the expense; a stock
cutting die from Trysk Print Solution's library was used; fronts and
backs are the same size; the labels for every varietal are the same
size; and stock capsules in a variety of available colors were used.
