Wine Tags!



A Great Holiday Gift, Wine!

Wine seems to surround good design and this Holiday Tag project was no exception. The photos feature a 2 color Holiday Wine Tag designed by Kate Hofland, a local creative designer who loves the letterpress process. Kate had been toying with the idea of using letterpress on a corporate project for sometime and the holiday tags made perfect sense.



While Kate Hofland created this great design the Wine Tag die originates from another amazing Southern California design firm, Real Life Branding.

Ron Leland, a brand architect and creative professional came up with the Wine Tag concept in 2007 for a wine barrel project originally utilizing letterpress on a duplex sheet. Since that time the die design has been used on a few different projects each with their own unique twist.

Project Details-
Quantity- 160
Size- 6.125 X 3"
