Printing Labels and Rights

 

We are printing the CWC License to Print. What are the Charter Colours to give to our Printer?

CWC medals are designed and printed in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and key-black) colors onto Silver Metallic Foil. For further orders kindly refer to the sticker shop.

Are CWC Medal Sticker Price and CWC License to print the same? 

The purpose of License to Print was primarily arranged for the convenience of Winners that have larger quantities of bottles to add their CWC Medals. 

Large scale usage of License to Print enables Winners to save manpower to add to all bottles by hand and/or they can arrange their printing more efficiently without needing to find a machine that can attach stickers with the exact dimensions that CWC Medals are issued at, can be time-consuming/not easily accessible.

CWC Medal showcases winning wines and spirits to buyers who are seeking the all-important CWC stamp of approval. Whether you are the Producer, Distributor, Importer, or Retailer, now is your chance to celebrate and boost sales.
