Rose City Label is once again proud to be a part of the Oak Knoll/Rose Festival Wine Project.  Each year the Rose Festival sponsors a contest for art students to help design the annual commemorative label.  Rose City Label helps with design judging, and also gives the students hands on experience seeing the actual label printed.

A panel of judges including Rose City Label’s Shaun Harris met at the Oregon College of Art and Craft, 8245 S.W. Barnes Rd. Portland tol decide which creative entry they will keep as the 2010 Rose Festival/Oak Knoll Wine Label Contest winner. The winning student will receive a $500 scholarship, special showings and a bonus educational opportunity with professionals at Rose City Label who will work with the student to tweak and refine the work to industry label standards.

For over 20 years Oak Knoll Winery has supported art, education and the Rose Festival with its student label contest. Featuring Oregon’s popular Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, this year’s special selection comes from the 2008 vintage.

Easy.  Go Vector.  In the world of print, it’s so easy to choose the wrong file type.

Look below at the images.  Left is Raster and the Right is Vector.

With the easy access to web images and old “morgue” files, the fact is most of the time the files are not good.  These are called Raster images.  Simply put, raster images use pixels to establish an image, whereas vector uses an algorithm to create the image.  The end result is a clean and razor sharp image every time when you choose vector art.

Have questions - please call us today! We’d be happy to help.

Here at Rose City Label we have a long time friend who has been here for what seems like forever.  The Franklin Hotstamp press.  If you are looking for a solid economy label, Franklin is the way to go.  Here are some of Franklin’s abilities:  Serial numbering, specialty dies, inexpensive plates and finishing touches on flexo labels.  Drop on by and see what Franklin can do for you!

We gathered for an updated photo, and those talented artists in our graphics department decided to animate us!  What will they think of next!?

And while the year was certainly not all fun and games, it was a big improvement over our performance in 2008 as we all worked harder, watched expenses, and made sure that the company will be strong for many years to come.

Thanks to all of you that were a part of this effort in 2009.

The Rose City Label family came together to say good bye and congratulations to one of its’ most important members.  Walt began selling for Rose City Label in 1971, when gas was 36 cents a gallon and Richard Nixon was president!

Walt is joining his dear wife and best friend, Bonnie, who retired from Rose City Label last year after 10 years of selling with the company.  In retirement, they plan to travel, play golf, and enjoy the next chapter of their lives together.  We all wish them well.
