Customer Spotlight: Long Island Spirits
“The most important thing in the “spirits world” is making sure you have a supplier that can give you consistent quality in the packaging, and New York Label has never failed us. Their color is always true. The quality, the materials that we are consistent because this is the showcase of our brand.”
Long Island Spirits was formed in 2007, and was the first craft distillery on Long Island since the 1800s and took inspiration from Long Island's "iconic" potato. Their first product launch was "Long Island Vodka" and since then they have introduced a successful line of spirits such as "Pine Barrens" Malt Whiskey, "Rough Rider" Rye Whiskey, "Deep Wells" Gin, and a variety of additional spirits that include a fruit-flavored line of sorbet vodkas. Long Island Spirits is a popular launching point with the tourists that visit Long Island's North Fork for tasting excursions as it resides as a "gateway" or entry point to the rest of this beautiful wine region.
Owner Rich Stabile was looking for a label supplier that can produce labels with a "high-end," "upscale look" in a consistent manner. According to Stabile, "We partnered with New York Label because we wanted to use a company that we knew met the stringent quality requirements for our brands. We've been excited to be partners with them for over five years and we continue that tight relationship as we grow our products into a national market. The most important thing in the spirits world is making sure you have a supplier that can give you consistent quality in the packaging, and New York Label has never failed us. Their color is always true. The quality, the materials that we use need to be consistent because this is the showcase of our brand." he also went on to say "We can provide, develop the most incredible tasting spirits on the inside of the bottle but consumers have an affinity to make sure our brands are well-represented on the shelf. So making sure that the label has a consistent color and represents our brand with the highest quality is very, very important to us, and with that New York Label has done an excellent job in being able to provide our quality and consistency in a timely fashion. I'm a very proud partner of New York Label."
Long Island Spirits makes use of some of the special decorating effects that New York Label & Box Works has to offer, such as different colored hot-stamp foils, embossing, and tactile UV coatings, in addition to the wide selection of special wine substrates offered by the company. They are thrilled to be partnering with a local business that appreciates the value of consistent quality and is able to showcase its capabilities in this market segment.
