The year 2025 brought our company another round of major achievements in the label-printing industry.

Finalists in the Label Finishing & Embellishment Category
With our Champagne 1732 label, we ranked among the top 3. The label impressed the jury with a combination of printing on metallic foil, black hot stamping, gold 3D foil, and 3D varnish that created a unique tactile structure.

Winner in the Variable Data Category Our multi-layer label Dexter Jackson – Black Edition won first place. We demonstrated the full potential of digital printing:
10 different designs on both sides of the label,
10 types of 3D varnish,
and the entire run of 10,000 pcs featured unique triple-factor protective variable codes.

Finalists in the Creative use of substrates The Veiny Galaxy – Version One label ranked among the top 3. The jury was impressed by how the design and material were combined — holographic foil, an “over-pumped” unicorn, and striking 3D varnish together created an almost psychedelic effect.

Winner in the Finishing & Embellishment Category

The Pratsch wine label won in a category where precision and elegance play a key role.
An elegant soft-touch black material, a partial black-on-black effect created with black toner, bronze hot stamping, and 3D varnish earned us first place — not only among labels, but also in competition with other types of printed products such as boxes, books, and various print materials.

Thank you to everyone who stands with us. These awards motivate us to create with even more precision and creativity.

Unique 3D Effects Without Dies or Screens – Premium Effects for Everyone

If you want to capture a customer’s attention at first glance and stand out from the competition, 3D varnish and digital embossing without dies or screens are the perfect solution. Thanks to MGI technology, we can create a luxurious effect that elevates your labels or packaging without any investment into tooling, screens, or embossing plates.

How MGI Technology Works

MGI is a global leader in digital embellishment. Instead of traditional screen printing or embossing with dies, it uses:
• special nozzles that apply varnish or foil according to the artwork,
• variable varnish height or embossing (3D effect),
• the ability to work with variable data—every single piece can have a different design, code, or visual element.

This eliminates the need to create dies and removes design limitations.

Where Can 3D Varnish and 3D Embossing Be Used?

The applications are broad, but most commonly requested by brands that want their packaging to deliver a premium experience:

🍷 Alcoholic beverages
Whisky, rum, gin—luxury labels highlight quality and a premium brand image.

🍾 Exclusive wines
For premium or gift wines, the first impression matters. An impressive label can be the reason a customer chooses your bottle.

🍺 Craft beers
Every beer has a story. 3D effects can highlight the logo, product name, and design elements to create a collectible feel.

🥫 Premium foods
High-quality ingredients deserve high-quality packaging—and luxury labels appeal to demanding customers.

💄 Cosmetics & beauty products
The feeling of exclusivity begins with the packaging—3D varnish enhances elegance and value.

Forget Design Limitations

With traditional methods, you need a die or screen for every design—leading to higher costs and fewer possibilities.

With MGI technology, you can have:
• a unique design for each wine variety or product variant,
• different varnish or embossing elements on every single piece,
• no investment into dies (typically around €100) or screens (€120–140).

And best of all—the printing cost remains comparable to traditional 3D varnish and embossing.

Benefits of Multi-Layer Labels

✔ Almost unlimited space for information
✔ Distinguish your product from the competition
✔ Reduce costs for language mutations and product variations
✔ Enable unique marketing and campaign ideas

Most Suitable Materials

This technology is ideal for plastic labels (metallic or white), where additional layers can be used for various language versions, coupons, or design elements.

Labels are typically resealable and easy to open and close. The shape of the product or the label itself does not limit your creativity.

We would like to share our success with you. In the finals of the Digital Labels & Packaging competition, we won as the best label in the category of excellence in finishing and embellishment and also as the best label of the entire competition among 14 categories. We were opposed by companies from all over the world (eg Australia, America, Vietnam, South Africa). The label was printed on black velvet PP and we used the techniques of metallic doming, 3D varnish, partial varnish using black ink, and a special die.
