Studio Labels

What Studio Labels does

Studio Labels is a South Australian premium label printer established in 2004, specializing in flexographic printing for the wine industry. The company operates from a single facility in Regency Park, South Australia, with approximately 19 employees, and is part of the Cork Supply family of wine industry solutions companies (alongside Cork Supply, Vinoak, and Tonnellerie O). Its core offering is flexographic label printing using Nilpeter FA4 and Gallus em280/em410 presses, complemented by a full suite of embellishment services including hot and cold foiling, embossing, debossing, varnishes, grain effects, and screen printing. Studio Labels also operates an in-house art and prepress department using ESKO Artwork software for file enhancements, modifications, and digital plate-making, enabling concept-to-print services. The company is recognized as among the very best for flexographic label quality globally and has accumulated 56 industry medals, including two World Label Awards gold medals (2011 for Chalk Hill Wines Alpha Crucis Shiraz and 2015 for Two Eights Handpicked Series).

The company's business model is sales-led with project-based, quote-based pricing tailored to label specifications, quantities, and embellishment requirements. It targets enterprise Australian premium wine producers (e.g., Chalk Hill Wines, Chateau Yaldara, Gemtree, Two Eights, Ladbroke Grove, Davey & Browne, Monita Estate, Lévrier, Colloca Estate, Shingleback), with all named customers operating in the wine vertical. Multi-year contract cadences are indicated, and the company maintains a bilingual (English/Chinese) website suggesting limited international outreach. The company has invested in proprietary process capabilities — including industry-first flexographic printing on uncoated papers with high ink builds and an exclusive bottle application scuff-resistance test — developed through R&D partnerships with ink producers. Studio Labels is privately held (no public ticker, no external funding rounds on record) and operates as a wholly-aligned subsidiary of Cork Supply, with no disclosed leadership bench, no M&A activity, and no offensive expansion signals beyond the Chinese-language market access and minor spirits/beer hashtag diversification observed on social media.
