Morrison’s Scotch Whisky Distillers

The Morrisons have always had a strong presence on Islay, an island steeped in tradition. Each whisky in the Mac-Talla range is cut by the weather-beaten shores of Islay. It is a taste of the untamed that leaves a lasting impression. Key for the MacTalla’s Single Malts label design was to have a premium look that would differentiate the brand from the Blended range. MCC therefore offered the customer a choice of Fasson uncoated stock. Working with the customer and designer, our MCC’s Application Engineer was able to advise on the unique shape of the bottle in relation to the label shape. After providing a sample roll of labels, the team was able to deliver a perfectly fitting label.

Morrison’s also wanted to take advantage of the over-printing technique which ensures that the bottles are labelled with unique custom batch numbers. MCC was able to provide the appropriate advice regarding the combination of label and thermal transfer ribbon. The labels were given the correct varnish to ensure a clear overprint. Our expertise in both Label Application Engineering and over-printing techniques enabled us to provide a complete solution and resulted in a label that stands out in shelve.

We are a family-owned business with real aspirations in developing our brands. MCC was selected as our preferred vendor because we required a label supplier who would be able to work with a range of print finishes to produce the labels to the high standard we require. All ran like clockwork; nothing was a problem. The labels were printed and were of brilliant quality. The assistance given by MCC was exceptional.
