FAQs

LABELS

Do you make custom sizes and shapes?

We do! Our roll labels can be ordered in any size or shape. See 'custom roll labels' for details.

Sheet labels are not available in custom sizes but we offer more than 50 popular shapes and sizes to choose from.

Are the labels waterproof?

Our vinyl labels are waterproof; they can withstand immersion underwater for long periods of time without softening, wrinkling or bubbling. This is the perfect material for something you store in a damp environment like a refrigerator or a humid climate.

What will the labels adhere to?

Both vinyl and paper labels will stick to glass, plastic, metal, paper, fabric, wood, and wax. You can use them on containers like jars, bottles, bags, boxes, and to label CD's. Labels will stick to wax candles, although they can be pulled off easily. Labels will not adhere to frozen surfaces. If you have something in your freezer you want to label, remove it from the freezer for a minute, apply the label, then put it back in the freezer; the label will stay stuck. Vinyl labels use an adhesive which holds strongly, yet removes easily (and without residue) from glass, metal and plastic surfaces. The adhesive used for paper labels will need a bit of soaking to remove from glass, metal and plastic surfaces.

How do I choose the right size for my container?

This is a very important question. You want to be certain that your label fits your container. The best way to determine which label size will fit well is to download and print the shapes & sizes guide.

Make sure your printed sample shows the shapes at 100% size. Test with a ruler to confirm that, for example, a 1-1/2 circle will measure exactly 1-1/2 inches. You can then cut one out and tape it on your container to see exactly how it will fit, before ordering.

What is the best way to apply the labels?

For best results apply labels to a clean, dry, oil-free, room-temperature surface. Condensation on a cold container (a cold juice bottle for example) will prevent labels from adhering properly.

To apply: lay the container on its side. If it's round, place it on a towel so it won't roll. Rotate so you are looking down at the area you want the label to go on. Peel a label off the carrier sheet. Visually line up the label while suspended above the container. Carefully press it down along one edge, then gradually smooth the rest of the label onto the container. Well done!

Can I remove the labels to reuse my container?

Absolutely! Our vinyl labels will peel off easily and shouldn't leave any residue; our matte paper labels may require a little scrubbing.

For paper label removal, try using a blow dryer to warm the adhesive before peeling. If this doesn't work, soak your containers in warm, soapy water to loosen the adhesive, then use a dish scrubber to remove any bits that remain. Adhesive gets stronger with age, so if the labels are really stubborn, soak your containers overnight in hot, soapy water.

WINE LABELS

How do I choose the right size for my wine bottles?

Wine bottles come in a variety of sizes and shapes, several illustrated here. It is important that you choose a label size that is no taller than the 'label panel' as illustrated. If your label extends above the label panel into the shoulder or below into the heel of the bottle, there will be bubbling and creasing of the label. Measure the label panel of your bottles carefully. It is better to err on the side of 'too small' than 'too large'.

The label shapes that we recommend for wine bottles, are shapes 13, 16, 17, 20, and 52. For a distinctive look, feel free to choose any of our other smaller shapes or combinations.

For quantities of more than 250 labels, order roll labels. You may create your own custom shape along with your design. Your shape can be much more than a rectangle or circle. Think big, think fun, we can make labels in ANY SHAPE!

To see exactly how a label shape will fit on your container, print out our shapes & sizes guide

Make sure you print it out at 100%. Test the print with a ruler to confirm that, for example, a 1-1/2 circle measures exactly 1-1/2 inches. You can then cut out your preferred shape and tape it on your bottle to see exactly how it will fit.

If you are ordering 250 or more wine labels, you can get roll labels in custom sizes and shapes to perfectly fit your bottles.

Are wine labels waterproof?

We have several materials for wine labels that are specially designed for damp or wet environments such as wine cellars and ice buckets:

  • Waterproof Vinyl: This material can withstand immersion underwater for long periods of time without softening, wrinkling or bubbling. it also holds up well in damp environments like a refrigerator or a humid climate.

For roll labels, we have two additional materials:

  • Premium Estate Paper: This is a paper that is invisibly impregnated with plastic to make it water resistant and wet-strength. It is an elegant laid-textured white paper, and is designed to resist the moisture in ice buckets, refrigerators and damp climates.
  • BOPP: Polypropylene, a thin white plastic that prints beautifully, has a smooth surface, and is completely waterproof. This comes with the option of matte or gloss laminate; either one adds a beautiful rich depth to the labels.
What is the best way to apply my labels to wine bottles?

To apply the label: lay the bottle on its side. It helps to place it on a towel so it won't roll. Rotate the bottle so the bottle seam is on top. Peel a label off the carrier sheet. Line up one edge of your label with the bottle seam and press it down along the length of the seam. Gradually smooth the rest of the label onto the bottle. Well done!

Is there an easy way to remove the labels from my wine bottles?

It depends on the labels.

Wine bottles that are labeled with water soluble adhesive are very easy to remove. Those with oil-based adhesive take a little more time. To test, soak a bottle in warm water for a few minutes or overnight. Water soluble labels should start lifting up after a few minutes, and if you leave the bottle submerged for several hours or overnight, the labels should slip easily off the bottles.

To remove labels with an oil-based adhesive, try using a blow dryer to warm the adhesive before peeling, then peel very slowly. If this doesn't work, soak your bottles for a few minutes or hours in warm, soapy water to loosen the adhesive, slowly pull off the label, and use a dish scrubber to remove any bits that remain.

Can I put my new labels over the original labels?

Yes you can, it's an easy way to personalize bottles. A word of caution however; the original labels may show through your new ones. To help minimize this, choose paper labels instead of BOPP, choose a style that has a lot of ink coverage, and choose a bottle whose label is light colored.

Will the wine labels I ordered fit over the original labels?

Commercial wine labels come in lots of shapes and sizes so we cannot guarantee that ours will fit over the originals on your bottles. That said, our shape 17 wine labels, sized at 3.25" wide x 4" high, are designed to fit well on most standard 750 ml wine bottles.

WATER BOTTLE LABELS

Are water bottle labels waterproof?

Our vinyl water bottle labels are waterproof; they can withstand immersion underwater for long periods of time without softening, wrinkling or bubbling.

Why is there a gap between the label ends when it wraps around my bottles?

Our water bottle labels include a gap where the ends meet so that they won't overlap on most bottles. When applying labels to water bottles, it can be difficult to wrap them so that the ends line up perfectly; having a gap between the ends makes any skew less obvious. Our water bottle labels are also designed with rounded ends to give them a seamless, finished look no matter the gap width on your bottles.

HANG TAGS

What is on the back of the tags?

Hang tag backs are blank except for a small Evermine logo at the bottom.

Can I get tags without holes?

Sorry, we don't offer tags without holes.

Can I get a custom size?

Sorry, hang tags are not available in custom sizes.

What material is used for tags?

Tags are available in white or kraft card stock.

How will choosing kraft card stock affect the design and look of my tags?

Kraft stock has a natural look that deepens and gives a warm cast to printed photos and colors. It works best with simple designs, black ink, and bold colors. White ink printing is not available so any text that looks white in your preview will print in the light brown kraft color.

How is kraft card stock different than the kraft designs?

The kraft look shown on designs like Elements Kraft and Vintage Kraft is a printed background made to give the appearance of kraft paper. It's printed only on the fronts of hang tags so if you choose white cardstock with these designs, the backs and the cut edge will remain white.

When you choose a design and specify kraft paper, the front, back and cut edge will be kraft.

We do not recommend that you choose a Kraft design like Elements Kraft or Vintage Kraft, and specify to print on kraft card stock, because the printed kraft art will print over the real kraft stock, making the front of your tags much darker than the backs.

How much twine will I need?

Our baker's twine comes in 10 meter/11 yard bundles. As a guideline, if you cut the twine into 11" lengths, you will have enough for about 36 tags.

COASTERS

What are coasters made of?

Coasters are printed on extra-thick, 58-point paperboard.

Are they waterproof?

Coasters are not waterproof. They made to absorb liquids for tabletop protection.

How durable are they?

While coasters are disposable by design, they are quite thick, durable and will easily withstand light use if not saturated with liquids or foods. They make wonderful keepsakes from special events if you put aside some unused extras.

BOOKPLATES

Are the bookplates acid free?

Yes, bookplates are printed on acid-free, archival quality paper.

Can I get a larger bookplate?

In many cases, we can adapt the design on a standard sized bookplate to one of our larger templates. However, larger sizes won't be packaged the same way. If you want larger bookplates, please contact us at 1-855-383-7646 or info@evermine.com

Can you copy the bookplate design I already have?

The way to do this is to scan the bookplate design you already have and upload it into the 'Your Design' template on our website.

If your design doesn't fit well onto one of our bookplate sizes, you can place it on any of our 'Your Design' label templates instead. Just be sure to choose matte paper stock when ordering so your bookplates will be printed on archival paper.

Are bookplates removeable?

No, bookplates are permanent. Attempting to remove them will likely damage the paper inside your books.

PERSONALIZING OUR DESIGNS

How do I change the font/color of all the text lines?
Can I put a different text/image on each label or coaster?

Yes! We offer a 'multi-choice' option for shape 1B (1.9" x 1/9") and shape 17 (3.25" x 4"). Visit the multi-choice labels page. You can also get sets of coasters with different text/image on each one. Visit the multi-choice coasters page.

I am ordering multiple items in the same design and shape but want each sheet/set to have different text and/or colors. Is there a quick way to do this?

Here's how: Once you have your first item in your cart, you'll see three buttons to the right of it. Click on the 'duplicate' button, which will add a second identical item to your cart. Now all you need to do is click the 'edit' button to change text, color, and image on this item. You can keep adding as many duplicates as you need and editing them from the cart. This makes ordering much faster!

Can I order a personalized sample before placing a full order?

A single sample isn't possible but you can place a minimum order for just one sheet of labels or one set of tags.

Do you have downloadable templates?

Evermine templates are not downloadable. They are programmed for use on our website only.

Will you check my spelling for me?

Sorry, we cannot be responsible for information you entered incorrectly. By submitting your text for an order, you are approving it for printing.

PHOTOS AND ARTWORK: uploading and adjusting

How do I upload my photo/artwork?

For our designs that feature image upload, once you have chosen a design template, you'll be able to 'personalize' the image and text. Select the 'personalize image' tab and then use the 'upload image' button. Navigate to where your image is stored on your computer or mobile device. When you've selected your image, it will appear in the template. You can then use the editing tools to zoom in/out and move your image up/down/left/right. Visit our videos for quick step-by-step demo.

How do I adjust/crop my photo/artwork?

Once you have uploaded your photo, you can use the sliders and arrows (just under the upload button) to make adjustments to cropping. The "-/+" slider tool allows you to zoom in and out, the curved arrows rotate your image, and the straight arrows move your image up, down, left, and right.

What kinds of image files can I upload online?

You can upload any of these file formats: pdf, png, jpg, or tif

Your files need to be at least 500 pixels.

What resolution works best for pictures and logos?

300 ppi (pixels per inch) is recommended for crisp, clear printed images. For instance, a 4" x 4" image should be 1200 x 1200 pixels.

Note that if you start with a 300 ppi image but enlarge it significantly to fit the template, some image quality will be lost and your image may look blurry.

Also keep in mind that if you start with a 72ppi image and resize it to 300 ppi, it still only has the information value of a 72 ppi file so the quality will not improve.

Why does my upload look blurry?

To maintain fast website speed, your uploaded image previews in a lower resolution.

Be assured that it will print in the same resolution it was prepared in, so if you know that your image is high resolution, printed results will be sharp.

How do I upload my updated art for my order already in process?

For orders in process, please email art revisions to info@evermine.com along with your order number and any special instructions.

CUSTOM ART: creating and submitting

Do you have a list of artwork guidelines and requirements for professional designers?

Yes. You can view, print or download our pdf of artwork guidelinescustom art specs for designers.

I have selected 'your design' but can't figure out how to create my design.

'Your design' is intended for print-ready artwork that you have already created. If you don't have a pre-made image to upload, you might want to choose one of our designs to personalize instead. You can add your text to any of them. Plus, many designs also have space to include an uploaded photo or artwork as well. In addition, many styles offer the option to change font color and style, background color, etc.

Will you create my design or logo?

If you have a logo or design that you need a little help with, we may be able to offer limited design service. Also, we have hundreds of designs that can be customized for unique results. But we do not offer full service design work. Feel free to contact us to discuss at 1-855-383-7646 or info@evermine.com.

How do I create my own custom art?

There are two ways you can create your own design. You can use one of our many in-house designs which you can customize with your words, and/or your image, photo, art or a choice of over a thousand icons. Or, if you already have a fully designed image you want us to print, the 'Your Design' option is for you!

If you are proficient in Adobe's Creative Cloud, you can create a file in Illustrator, InDesign or Photoshop, save it as a PDF and upload it to our site.

If you don't work with Adobe's Creative Cloud, there is another way you can create your files. We recommend CANVA (canva.com), where you can create your own art files. The free version of this site creates a low-resolution file and has fewer options than the full service site. But if all you need is a one-time service, this is still a good option for getting you a good design. Simply create your file at twice the actual size it will be printed at, which will allow it to be reduced and still have high enough resolution to look good.

In what form should I submit my art?

You may provide art as a PDF, TIF, JPG, or PNG.

If you want the image or color to go to the edge of the printed product, make sure the image or color extends at least 1/8" beyond the cut edge. This is called a 'bleed' and it's needed for accuracy on printed products.

You may also provide art as an AI, INDD or PSD file. Follow these steps:

STEP 1: Create the file

  • Outline all fonts
  • Include linked artwork or photos
  • Make a separate layer with bleed marks, dielines and other print information

STEP 2: Create your order

  • Click on 'PERSONALIZE' and choose 'blank image area'
  • Place your order
  • Email the file to info@evermine.com
  • Include your order number in the email
How can I make sure the design I created looks great?

To ensure the best results, take care to create a well-made file. Follow these instructions for an impeccable printing job. If any step of this is confusing or you are not able to execute, feel free to submit your file as you have it. We will do our best to optimize the printability of your file, and we will contact you if there is a problem.

File types

Choose a very good quality image that will be used at actual size or smaller. Save the file as pdf, png, jpg, or tif at a resolution of no less than 300 pixels per inch. If you have a low resolution image, DO NOT resize it to a higher resolution; doing so does not increase the amount of information in the file. Many images are generated as 72 pixel files which look great on screen, but will appear grainy or blurry when printed. One exception to this rule is a 72 pixel file that has large dimensions. For example: your file is 72 pixels, but it's dimensions are 24" x 24", and you are going to use it on a coaster that's 4" x 4". In this case, your image will be scaled down considerably, so it will still look sharp even though the file resolution number is low.

When scanning art or a photo, be sure to scan at a high resolution — at least 300 pixels per inch.

When emailing photos, be sure to send them at actual size.

When taking a digital photo, make sure the camera is set to large/high resolution (usually 1536 x 2048 pixels), with a compression grade of superfine (highest quality). On most cameras this option will be found in a menu item called 'image quality'. Make sure the image hasn't been compressed into a 'thumbnail' image, or shrunk below 3 inches square when it was stored on your computer.

Please note that we cannot use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint images.

Recommend resolution, pixel sizes

300 ppi (pixels per inch) is recommended for crisp, clear printed images. For instance: a 4" x 4" image should be at least 1200 x 1200 pixels. If your artwork contains very small text (less than 8pt), we recommend the resolution being closer to 500 ppl for best appearance and readability. Also, it's best to make very small text 100% black (and if it is a color file, also 50% cyan, magenta and yellow) so it is made of a solid coating of ink.

RGB vs CMYK

RGB refers to the primary colors of light -Red, Green and Blue —that are used in monitors, television screens, digital cameras and scanners. CMYK refers to the primary colors of ink, or pigment: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. We print in CMYK so even if your file is RGB, or a Pantone color, it will automatically be converted to CMYK in our process.

Bleed

If you want your image or color to go to the edge of the printed product, please make sure that the image or color extends at least 1/8" beyond the cut edge. This is called 'bleed' and it's necessary for accurate results on printed materials.

Embedded details

If you have placed or imported images into your artwork file from another program, we will need those images included as separate files. Example: You have placed photo1.jpg into your Adobe Illustrator file. Please send photo1.jpg along with your Ai file when you submit your artwork for printing. When emailing photos or art, be sure to send them at actual size.

Outlining text

Because we may not have your fonts in our collection, please convert all fonts to outlines before submitting artwork files.

Here's how:

Adobe Illustrator & InDesign: Select the text box, go to the Type menu and choose Create Outlines

Photoshop: Select the text box, go to the Type menu and choose Convert to Shape

Custom shape cut lines / layers

Provide art as a PDF, TIF, JPG, or PNG.

If you want the image or color to go to the edge of the printed product, make sure the image or color extends at least 1/8" beyond the cut edge. This is called a 'bleed' and it's needed for accuracy on printed products.

To send an AI, INDD or PSD file:

STEP 1: Create the file

  • Outline all fonts
  • Include linked artwork or photos
  • Make a separate layer with bleed marks, dielines and other print information

STEP 2: Create your order

  • Click on 'PERSONALIZE' and choose 'blank image area'
  • Place your order
  • Email the file to info@evermine.com
  • Include your order number in the email

* There may be an additional charge and delay for artwork that is not print-ready; for example artwork without a dieline (on a separate layer) to indicate where the label should be cut.

COLORS

Can I use a custom color?

Yes! You can create and use your own color easily right on our site. See below for more information.

choose your own custom color

PERSONALIZE

Once you have chosen a style, shape and size, press the "personalize" button. Now you can edit the design template, including the colors.

CHANGE COLOR

You can change the background color by pressing the "change color" button. You can also change the color of your text or icons.

How can I make sure that the color of a printed product will work for me? I see a color and design on your web site that looks like what I need — but it has to be exactly right.

The best way is to order one test sheet of labels in the style and color you are interested in. After receiving your test sheet, it's easy to reorder whatever quantity you need. The color of your reprints will be very close to the color of your originals. To be absolutely sure that the color of your reprints will "perfectly" match the color of your original order, you can mail us a sample from your original order and we will do our best to match it. Although we calibrate our printers every day, there are still variations in color because of daily fluctuations in humidity and temperature as well as equipment changes such as ink levels, and timing of consumables.

REORDERS

How do I reorder an item from a previous order?

Reordering is fast and easy. At the bottom of every page, go to 'order information' and use the handy 'reorder' link: reorder

On this page you can quickly find previous orders using order numbers. Or, if you have an account, you can log in and scroll through your order history to locate items ordered.

Will my reordered items match the colors from previous orders?

The color will be very close. Although we calibrate our printers every day, there are still variations in color because of daily fluctuations in humidity and temperature as well as equipment changes such as ink levels, and timing of consumables. To be sure to receive a "perfect" match, please mail us a sample from your previous order and we will do our best to match it.

How do I change something on an item from a previous order?

Once you have added a reordered item to your cart, select the 'edit' button to make changes. If you need help, contact us at reorder@evermine.com or 1-855-383-7646

PROOFS

How long will it take to see a proof?

You'll receive an emailed proof within two business days (M-F, excluding holidays) of your order submission. For example, if you place your order on Monday you will see your proof on Wednesday; if you place your order on Friday, you will receive your proof the next Monday or Tuesday.

What should I do when I receive my electronic proofs?

Please study your proofs carefully for possible spelling or other typographical errors. If everything looks good, click "OK as is". Your order will go to print right away.

If you see something in the proofs that you would like to change and you do NOT need to see another proof, describe the change you need in the instructions box, then click "OK With Changes." A designer will make the updates you have described and send your order to print.

If you see something you would like to change and you DO want to see another proof after the changes have been made, describe the change you need in the instructions box, and click "Need New Proof." A designer will make your updates and send you a new proof for approval.

How long before I get an updated proof?

We do our best to respond quickly to your requested changes and get a new proof out right away. We make every effort to get you a revised proof within one business day.

Why does the proof look blurry?

To maintain fast website speed, your uploaded image previews in a lower resolution.

Be assured that your order will print with the same resolution it was prepared in, so if you know that your image is high resolution, the printed results will be sharp.

If I approve my proof can I make changes later?

Orders are sent to print right away once you approve your proof. If you catch something you need changed soon after proof approval, please call immediately and let us know; we may be able stop it before it prints.

I approved my proof, but I don't like the way my printed order looks. How do I fix this?

We want you to love your order! If you aren't happy with it, please contact us by phone at 1-855-383-7646, or by email at info@evermine.com.

I've placed my order for roll labels. Will proofing delay it?

Due to large quantities associated with roll labels, we send a proof before printing. Proof approval doesn't delay printing dramatically though.

Proofs are emailed as soon as your order is prepped and we send your labels to print right away (usually within an hour, M-F, 7-5) after you approve them. If you haven't approved your proofs within 24 hours, we will contact you to check in.
