Cost: $250 per file
What is the Prepare service?
The Prepare service provides you with a label that is ready for print (and ready for a C.O.L.A. application). Our Prepare service is for only those customers who have purchased a product and have also successfully completed a Try or Explore service which yielded one or more “customized concepts” that the customer would like turned into final label art.
How it Works:
One of our designers will use your favorite customized concept as a guide in recreating the label in a clean and professional format that is suitable for commercial wine label printing.
We will provide you with a convenient online form with which to supply us with a copy of your favorite concept and all other content needed for the creation of your label via. Examples of content we might need from you include brand name/logo, wine information (vintage, appellation, etc), romance/back label copy, upc/barcode, specialty font, winemaker’s photo/signature, etc..*
Before starting on your label, a designer will contact you to confirm receipt of your content and obtain any additional clarification needed. As far as who will provide the Prepare service — when possible, the same designer who provided you with the Try or Explore service will provide the Prepare service, but it depends on availability.
You will be able to review* and approve the customized label, and request minor corrections if needed. After you have approved the label, the designer will prepare the file and provide you with a link from which to download it. It will be provided as a zip file and will contain the print-ready and COLA-ready label files.

* It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the content they provide and the customizations they request adhere to applicable copyright and labeling laws. We suggest customer’s consult with a compliance professional before starting the Prepare service as well as during the review phase of the Prepare service.
