When working with the right bottle label printing partner, you have plenty of custom label options. This means you don't have to compromise and can create a complete package that clearly shows off the appeal of your brand to potential customers.

Pete Romas, Business Operations Manager, Analytics & Reporting for Lightning Labels, has filled many roles in his given professions, from printing to pizza.

He started with Lightning Labels six years ago as a marketing & sales coordinator, then became Business Operations Analyst before moving into his present role.

His family’s pizza business—where he ran the register, helped prep dough and sauce, sauced and cheesed the pizzas, and handled delivery and catering—no doubt prepared him for the many hats he’s worn at Lightning Labels.

As a maker of nutraceutical products — the supplements, powders and vitamins that keep consumers feeling their best — you are part of a vibrant industry. People are eager to augment their diets with the latest in healthy items, and they may turn to your brand to follow through on that desire.

Delta-8 THC products are a special category within the cannabis space. In some parts of the country, these items are brought to market based on different rules than standard medical marijuana or recreational cannabis offerings.

Delta-8 cannabis products are being sold based on a provision in the 2018 Farm Bill which famously decriminalized hemp growing. As Hemp Industry Daily explained, there is a great deal of confusion at the state level as different regions take divergent approaches to conflicting regulations.

Do you want to add some context to your packaging? Do you have extra information or multimedia experiences to share with your customers? One of the best ways to give your items some additional appeal is to print QR codes on labels.

These codes, when scanned by an ordinary smartphone camera, can link to online resources that provide entertainment, education and everything in between. QR codes can aid in compliance and supply chain tracking or be the gateway to more customer engagement. Not bad for tiny black-and-white squares.

QR Codes on Labels: What Are They?

QR codes are a kind of barcode.

In the beginning of the craft beer scene, bottles were the container of choice. Beer cans? Those were for the Budweisers of the world. The balance has tipped, however, and now cans stand alongside bottles as a serious choice for craft brewers.

If your brewery is planning a new release, you have a choice between cans and bottles, with each having its own advantages. Whichever type of container you pick, however, there's one thing that deserves plenty of thought: your craft beer label strategy.

Helmet stickers are surprisingly versatility. You can start by picking out logo stickers that will stay in place for years to come, then add award stickers that will help players or employees show off their accomplishments

From soaking to sipping, beer and all the effervescence it produces is the order of the day—and night—at The Beer Spa in Denver, CO.

Open since February in Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood, The Beer Spa was founded by husband and wife team, Jessica French and Damien Zouaoui.

The idea for a high-tech wellness space that combines a day spa and a taproom came to life in the mountain town of Zakopane, Poland. To escape from the rain, the couple ducked into a “beer spa.” They became intrigued with the idea of pairing soaking in a warm, bubbly beer bath while sipping on cold Polish b
