Erina is the closest major centre to our premises, around 5.5 km along Avoca Drive with Nunn’s Creek between the two suburbs. It is the Coast’s retail and commercial hub rather than an industrial estate: Erina Fair is the largest shopping centre on the Central Coast and in regional Australia, and Karalta Road runs showrooms and bulky goods. Our label printing on the Central Coast work here follows that shape.

The exception is the pocket of light industry along The Entrance Road and Portsmouth Road, which holds two of the region’s better known drinks producers. Six String Brewing Co. sits at 90 The Entrance Road and Distillery Botanica at 25 Portsmouth Road, making gin, spirits and liqueurs with Australian botanicals. Between beverage and retail, label printing in Erina splits into two very different jobs.

What does a craft beer or spirit label legally have to carry?

Standard 2.7.1 of the Food Standards Code defines a standard drink as 10 grams of ethanol at 20 degrees Celsius. A standard drinks statement is required above 0.5% alcohol by volume, and a pregnancy warning above 1.15%.

Mark sizes are prescriptive rather than advisory. On a container over 200 mL and up to 800 mL, which covers a 375 mL can and a 700 mL gin bottle, the pictogram must be 6 mm, signal words 2.1 mm and the statement 1.6 mm. Above 800 mL those become 9 mm, 2.8 mm and 2.1 mm.

Why does the pregnancy warning rule out a one-colour printer?

The pregnancy warning is a specified design, not free artwork. The words PREGNANCY WARNING are set in upper case bold sans serif in red, specified as PMS 485, with the statement in sentence case black on a white background.

A red element on every unit means the finished label needs full colour. That is one reason Erina brewers and distillers run digital colour presses or colour label printers rather than pre-printed shells with a single-colour overprint.

What labelling does Erina Fair and Karalta Road retail actually need?

Retail labelling is a volume and legibility problem more than a compliance one. Shelf and price labels, promotional labels, date labels for in-store food handling and barcode labels for stock that arrives unbarcoded all get printed on site, often daily.

Where a symbol has to scan at a checkout, magnification decides the outcome. At 100% an EAN-13 has an X-dimension of 0.330 mm and a symbol height of 22.85 mm, and retail point of sale accepts 80% to 200%. Shrink a symbol below that to fit a small pack and scan rates drop.

Which parts of the job do we supply?

Erina businesses tend to come to us for one of two reasons: a product launch that needs labels, or a printer that is costing more in downtime than it saves. Label printing in Erina rarely means one enormous run. It usually means a modest quantity, a short lead time and artwork that has to be right the first time.

Labels and materials

We print printed product labels from single trial runs of under 1,000 up to high volume work above 10,000. Brewers and distillers usually order wine and beverage labels on a facestock chosen for fridge condensation and ice bucket handling, and retailers order barcode label printing for shelf, pack and promotional use.

Printers, consumables and support

We also supply colour label printers from entry level units to commercial presses, genuine consumables and label stock matched to the machine you run, and label printer repairs and service with advice on equipment selection, installation and operator training.

How close are we to businesses in Erina?

Around 5.5 km, roughly six minutes along Avoca Drive. No other major centre on the Coast is closer to us, which makes sample drops, artwork checks and service calls straightforward.

The directions to our Green Point premises page covers parking and access, and there are specific directions from Erina to our premises if you are coming from Terrigal Drive or Karalta Road. We are open 8:30am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.

“Digital Label Services have delivered quality labels and consumables, cost savings and support for the last 7 months for our colour label printers ensuring that a key component of our business runs efficiently.”

Frequently asked questions

Is Erina an industrial area?

No. Erina is the Central Coast’s retail and commercial hub, anchored by Erina Fair and the Karalta Road showroom strip, with only a pocket of light industry on The Entrance Road and Portsmouth Road. Most label printing in Erina that we handle is retail, hospitality or craft beverage work rather than heavy manufacturing.

Can you print labels for a small first batch of beer or gin?

Yes. Low volume covers 1 to 1,000 labels, which suits a trial batch, a seasonal release or a cellar door exclusive. Medium volume from 1,000 needs no printing plates and is produced within seven working days. The artwork still has to carry the mandatory statements at the correct mark sizes.

Does a beer or spirit label need a nutrition information panel?

A nutrition information panel becomes mandatory as soon as you make a nutrition claim, and it must declare energy in kilojoules, protein, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars and sodium in two columns. Separately, energy labelling on alcoholic beverages becomes mandatory from 13 August 2028 under Proposal P1059, so plan artwork space for it.

How fast can you reach an Erina site if a printer stops?

Erina is around six minutes from Green Point, the closest major centre to our premises. We do not promise a fixed response window, but the distance helps. Call 0431 942 464 with the model and a description of the fault and we will tell you what is likely involved before booking anything.

Will a label survive a chilled display or an ice bucket?

That depends on the facestock and adhesive rather than the print. Labels applied to cold or damp glass need an adhesive rated for the application temperature and a synthetic facestock instead of uncoated paper. Tell us how the product is filled, stored and displayed and we will recommend a material for you to test.
