OUR STORY
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN……
Our founding Directors have collectively over 100 years label printing experience immersed in the Scottish Whisky and Spirits Label Sector.
Their introduction into label printing began over 30 years ago, under the guidance and tutelage of the renowned, independent Glasgow based label printers, John Watson & Company.
There, our team perfected their craft, gaining invaluable knowledge, experience and a vast understanding of all technical aspects required to supply labels of the highest quality.
BECOMING SPIRIT LABELS
Founded in 2023, Spirit Labels was born from a passion of the craft of the Scottish whisky industry. We offer something different to our customers- blending traditional label manufacturing skills with the benefits of being fully digital.
Our team is carefully built and hand- selected. We are personable, pioneering and forward- thinking.
Spirit Labels exists to provide a level of end-to-end service to our customers that they cannot receive anywhere else, elevating their brands through exceptional label design and production.
We want to set the highest example of exceptional label making, customer service and innovation, for others to follow suit.
For our founding directors, their introduction to label printing began 30 years ago under the tutelage of John Watsons & Co.
