The Ideal Material for Vinegar Bottles

Vinegar’s natural acidity, combined with the likelihood of exposure to moisture and oils in kitchen environments, makes material choice crucial. That’s why we’ve carefully selected materials to prolong the life of your label.

Vinyl Materials (highly recommended): These are your go-to options for vinegar bottles thanks to their durability, resistance to acid and moisture, and long-lasting adhesion:

  • White Gloss Vinyl: Delivers a bright, professional look. Resists vinegar, water, and oils. 
  • White Matt Vinyl: Offers a smooth, elegant finish, perfect for artisan and premium branding on vinegar bottles. Water and scratch-resistant.
  • Clear Gloss Vinyl: Lets the colour and clarity of your vinegar shine through. Provides a sophisticated "no-label" look for vinegar bottles and jars.
  • Laminated Vinyl: Our toughest options for durable vinegar labels, available in laminated gloss and laminated matt finishes. An additional laminate layer provides maximum UV protection, scuff resistance, and unparalleled durability.
  • Metallic Vinyl: Adds a luxurious, premium touch to your vinegar bottle labels. Excellent for balsamic vinegar labels, aged, or speciality wine vinegars to denote high value, with both silver or gold options. 

We generally steer clear of materials such as gloss paper, textured paper, or brown kraft for vinegar labels as they don't offer much resistance to acids and moisture. While gloss paper can deliver a crisp, high-quality print, it's prone to degradation when it meets vinegar's acidity. If a rustic or paper-style aesthetic is what you're aiming for, we'd recommend considering our matt finish vinyl materials. These cleverly mimic the appearance of paper whilst providing far superior resilience against moisture and acid.

Adhesives

For vinegar products, especially those stored in moist environments, opt for permanent or extra-permanent (high-tack) adhesives to ensure labels remain affixed.

Legal information to include on your vinegar labels

We print your designs exactly how you need them - including all mandatory content. UK vinegar labels should typically include:
  • Product name (e.g. “Red Wine Vinegar”)
  • Ingredients list if anything is added (like sugar or flavourings)
  • Allergen info (e.g. “Contains Barley” or “Contains Sulphites”)
  • Net volume in ml or L
  • Durability date or lot code for traceability
  • FBO address (your company or packing site)
  • Country of origin if implied (e.g. “Product of England”)
  • Storage instructions and usage suggestions (optional but useful)

FAQ

Can I use the same label design for both oil and vinegar bottles?

While oil and vinegar bottles often share similar shapes, their contents can affect labels differently. Vinegar's acidity can degrade certain materials over time. If you're using the same design across both products, ensure the label material is resistant to both oils and acids. Our laminated vinyl options are ideal for this purpose, offering durability and resistance to both substances.

Will I see a proof of my vinegar label design before it’s fully printed?

Absolutely! Before we proceed with printing your full order, we'll send you a digital PDF proof. This gives you a crucial opportunity to double-check all the details - like text, colours, layout, and legal information - to ensure everything is exactly as you want it. We only start printing once you've given your approval.

Is it necessary to include a barcode on my labels?

No, barcodes are not legally required on vinegar labels, not under UK food labelling laws. However, if you plan to sell your product through retailers or online platforms, a barcode is typically expected. For direct-to-consumer sales (e.g. markets or events), barcodes are optional.
