Artwork Specs

Dimensions 182mm H x 312mm W

The top 38.7mm is the shoulder of the bottle which is a high shrink area. Artwork in this section will be distorted by the shrinking process. Therefore keep this area simple. More detailed artwork starts below this point.

Must haves:

•Space for our logo in the front centre. Keep this area blank or low detail. You can put our logo in this space if you want. The logo will be smaller on these wraps than is shown in the design below to maximise the amount of artwork visible on the front of the bottle

Design:

•The wrap is 360 degrees so try make the design blend where the join is at the back of the bottle (see image below showing poor blend of artwork at the back / seam)

Must not have:

•Images of violence, drug use, nudity, weapons, war, etc.It will not be approved for sale in bottle shops especially the major chains like Dan Murphys, BWS, Liquorland
