Guide to Our 8 Premium Wine Label Stocks

Updated this week

At Jukebox, we know your wine label is part of the story your bottle tells. The right paper doesn’t just hold ink, it adds character, richness, and a sense of quality you can see and feel.

We’ve curated 8 premium wine label stocks that are used by wineries and luxury brands around the world. Each one has its own look and personality, from the rustic charm of Kraft to the refined brightness of Bright White Felt, our most popular choice. Some stocks feature innovative sustainability, like Recycled Vellum made with 100% post-consumer fibers and Sugar Cane which is completely tree-free. These papers are more than materials, they are natural textures designed to make your bottle unforgettable.


What Wet Strength Means

Wine labels need to perform in the real world, not just look good. Bottles are stored in fridges, placed in chillers, and sometimes sit in ice buckets. Wet strength is a treatment that keeps paper strong and smooth when exposed to moisture. Most of our wine label papers are built with wet strength, so your labels stay beautiful from the shelf to the table.


Choosing Your Stock

With wet strength covered, the next step is choosing the stock that matches your brand. Jukebox offers 8 carefully selected options. Some are clean and modern, others are warm and artisanal, and a few highlight sustainability with recycled or tree-free fibers. Each one has its own story to tell.
