COOL CONVERTED PRODUCT
 MASON, OH | Cabreiroa mineral water is being revitalized with a unique new PET bottle range and collection of six pressure-sensitive labels printed by Spear. Each of the six back labels were printed with a different scenery design in mirror fashion. Spear then applied a solid white to conceal it before printing the back label design. The Cabreiroa logo on the front label had to be a strong, clean white to stand out against the photographic back label image. In line with requirements for a premium look pack, Spear chose a hi-reflectance silver, printed sub-surface, to create a foil effect on which to display the beverage description.
