Wine Barrel Labels & Tags

Durable Barrel Identification & Winery Tracking Solutions

Wine barrels can contain valuable product and move through multiple stages of production, aging, storage, and inventory management. Accurate barrel identification helps wineries maintain visibility into each barrel while making it easier to access important information about its contents and production history.

IBC’s Wine Barrel Labels & Tags are designed to provide wineries with durable, customizable identification for individual barrels. Labels and tags can include winery information, barrel numbers, wine varieties, vintages, lot numbers, production details, barcodes, QR codes, and other information required to identify and manage barrel inventory.

Whether you operate a small boutique winery or manage a large barrel-aging facility, IBC can help develop a barrel identification solution designed around your production and inventory processes.

Identify Every Barrel

Each wine barrel can have its own unique history. From the wine and vintage stored inside to its location within the winery, individual barrel identification can help connect the physical barrel with the information associated with it.

Wine barrel labels and tags can include:

By providing every barrel with a clear and unique identity, wineries can make it easier to locate, record, and manage barrel inventory throughout the production process.

Wine Barrel Labels

No two wineries operate exactly the same way. IBC can provide custom labels designed around your specific barrel, environment, and information requirements.

Wine barrel labels can be customized with:

• Variable data
• Sequential numbering
• Barcodes
• QR codes
• 2D Data Matrix codes
• Custom sizes and shapes
• Winery branding
• Logos
• Colour printing
• Production information

Labels can be supplied preprinted or configured for on-demand printing, allowing wineries to create and update barrel information as production requirements change.

Wine Barrel Label Sizes

Standard sizes:

• 4″x2″
• 4″x3″
• 4″x4″
• 4″x6″
• 4″x8″
• 6″x10″
• 6″x12″

Wine Barrel Tags

For applications where an adhesive label is not the preferred solution, IBC can provide durable wine barrel tags.

Tags can be attached to barrels using an appropriate fastening method and can provide a visible identification solution for barrel storage and inventory management. Depending on the application, tags can be customized for long-term use in winery environments.

Wine barrel tags can be particularly useful when:

• Barrels need reusable identification
• Information changes between production cycles
• A non-adhesive identification method is preferred
• Additional visible information is required
• Barrels are stored for extended periods

IBC can help determine whether a label, tag, or combination of identification methods is most appropriate for your operation.

Barcode & QR Code Tracking

Barcodes and 2D codes can turn a simple barrel label into a powerful data-collection tool. A unique code can connect an individual barrel to information stored within your winery management, inventory, production, or traceability system.

When scanned using a barcode scanner or mobile computer, personnel can quickly identify a barrel and access associated information.

Potential barcode tracking applications include:

• Barrel inventory
• Cellar management
• Production tracking
• Lot traceability
• Barrel location
• Wine movements
• Quality-control records
• Aging information
• Maintenance history

Barrel → Scan → Digital Record → Production & Inventory Data

RFID Wine Barrel Identification

For wineries looking for more automated inventory and tracking capabilities, RFID technology may provide an additional identification option.

RFID-enabled labels or tags can be used to identify assets and inventory without requiring direct line-of-sight scanning. Depending on the application, RFID can help winery personnel capture information more efficiently during inventory counts and other tracking activities.

IBC can help evaluate RFID solutions involving:

• RFID labels and tags
• RFID readers
• Handheld RFID devices
• Fixed RFID systems
• RFID printers
• Inventory management integration

Designed for Winery Environments

Wine production environments can present challenges for standard identification products. Barrels may be exposed to changes in temperature, moisture, handling, cleaning processes, and long-term storage conditions.

IBC can help select an appropriate label or tag construction based on your specific application, including:

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, IBC can help match the label or tag material to the requirements of your winery.
