LABEL ON A PET BOTTLE MOCKUP
Rinse and repeat, you know the drill. Except, if you’re using top quality mockup media, you’re reducing the risk of a second run for colour corrections.
This example shows what’s possible on a 750ml PET bottle, printed up with CMYK + spot silver, gold, and green. Created with ORIS’s clear, self-adhesive ‘no-label’ look label (the bottle’s by iMSGROUP, Unilever).

- Spot-ready – superb colour take-up
- Metallic-ready – fast-drying, which helps
- Authoritative tactility – look, we don’t know what that means either, but we think it’s to do with customers **touching** the label and getting a really good feel for it. Which is kinda the point of giving them a top-quality mockup.
With its nanoporous coatings, uniform ink absorption, and faster drying times, this is where CGS’s mockup media film excels.
