Mulled Cider And Wine Labels Printed For Weanie Beans

With a fantastic new range of winter gifts at Weanie Beans, Solopress.com had a lovely warm glow about us when we printed their mulled wine and cider labels…

Weanie Beans, the award-winning specialist coffee company, have just launched their new range of winter products and gifts. So when you’re enjoying their delicious Mulled Cider Parcels or Mulled Wine Spice Bouquets, perfect for winter festivities this Christmas, please don’t forget to admire the equally yummy labels printed by Solopress!

Starting life as a one day a week market stall making early morning coffee for passers-by in West London, Weanie Beans (www.weaniebeans.com) now supply a number of shops and delis across the UK, ship their products all over Europe and have opened their warehouse doors to the public as an online shop.

Britain’s Best

The Weanie Beans philosophy is keep it simple, yet luxurious. In the last two years, they’ve won three awards, ‘bean’ featured in The Sun and Independent newspapers, and were shortlisted in the Barclays Best Local Business campaign. Each of those awards recognises Weanie Beans’ dedication and passion for their products, customers and ethical beliefs.

Adeline Vining, the founder of Weanie Beans, ensures that all the coffee they sell is ethically and fairly sourced. She explains why Weanie Beans picked Solopress.com to print their new mulled cider and wine labels: “We were looking for a printing company who could print our packaging labels to a high standard and in a fast turnaround. A friend had just had some flyers printed which he asked us to display in our shop for him, and they were the perfect shape, size and quality that we needed. So we immediately looked up Solopress, where he had his flyers printed.”

It’s Positively Mental!

“Our artwork was ready to upload, so I ordered online via the Solopress website around 5pm. 1,000 printed labels were delivered at 8am the next day. I am still baffled by how amazingly efficient this is. I am seriously, seriously blown away by the outstanding service,” continues Adeline.

“The labels arrived pristine, perfectly printed and look amazing. Solopress made everything work like magic. We’ve had an unexpected quantity of orders online for our Mulled Cider Parcels and Mulled Wine Spice Bouquets. So I am obviously happy to recommend Solopress.com to anyone that needs their services.”

Solopress.com: How did you design your Mulled Cider and Wine labels?

• Weanie Beans: We have a great designer who’s been designing our packaging for a couple of years now, so he has a great understanding of our brand. When we briefed him for the mulled cider and mulled wine labels, we were quite vague knowing he would (hopefully!) understand what we trying to achieve. Thankfully, he did. We wanted the labels to reflect the home made nature of the spice parcels, and we wanted them to be quite striking, whilst still having a warm colour pallet. As we are primarily a coffee company, he adapted our logo perfectly so that the products wouldn’t look out of place next to our other items, but would still fit the nature of the business.

Solopress.com: Why did you choose to print on this particular type (350gsm silk, A7 size) of flyer?

• Weanie Beans: We’d seen some of those particular flyers printed in black & white and realised they were the exact size that we were looking for. Other printers tended to print A7 on a more flimsy material, and we’d been struggling to find something that wouldn’t simply flop over when we folded it in half. The 350gsm was perfect. Not flimsy at all, yet not so rigid that it outbalanced the rest of the packaging.

Solopress.com: Are you pleased with the quality of the 350gsm silk card and our printing?

• Weanie Beans: The quality of the card and printing is perfect. I can’t say much more than that! They look great. The worry is always that silk card can be a bit too shiny, so I’m chuffed with these ones.

Solopress.com: Have you considered ordering any of our other products – posters, stickers or banners, for example?

• Weanie Beans: Having received these labels, and being so happy with the service, I’m quite sure I will be sending more business your way. We regularly print loyalty cards, business cards and stickers. Solopress will probably end up with all my printing business! I think you’re amazing.

Solopress.com: Is business good? How do you see 2012 shaping up for Weanie Beans?

• Weanie Beans: Business is good! It’s been a very busy year for us, not least because I got married, and have taken some time off work. But the whole team at Weanie Beans are brilliant, and can manage perfectly without me. Winter is looking very promising as we approach the Christmas trading period. We have new stockists, and online sales are at an all time high. We expect our new customers (both wholesale and retail) to continue buying from us into the New Year, so 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year all round for us.
