Description

Keg Labels

When your craft beer heads to a party, taproom, or bar, it deserves a label that’s as bold as the brew. Midwest Custom Print offers a complete Keg Labeling System featuring both Keg Collars and Keg Belly Labels—designed to bring marketing impact, clear identification, and brand professionalism to every barrel.

Keg Collars are essential for providing regulatory and product info at the top of the keg. Ours are printed on durable, uncoated tag material, with no adhesive, allowing them to be easily placed and replaced. Each collar is individually sheeted, ensuring clean inventory management and fast labeling.

Keg Belly Labels wrap around the body of the keg like a badge of honor. Printed on white vinyl with clear poly lamination, they’re built to withstand cold storage, warehouse handling, and beer-fueled festivities.

Whether your kegs are stacked in a distributor’s warehouse or tapped at a festival, these two label styles work together to ensure your brand shines through.

📏 Bleed & Safe Zones
