Amberley Labels Wins ‘Label of the Year’ at UK Packaging Awards for Aureus Vita Gin

Amberley Labels has been awarded Label of the Year at the 2025 UK Packaging Awards for its exceptional work on the Aureus Vita Fibonacci Dry Gin label - a standout project that blends premium craftsmanship with cutting-edge print innovation.

The judging panel praised the label for its full spectrum of decorative and conversion techniques, including hot foiling, embossing, debossing, UV detailing, and the integration of invisible ink technology - a requirement for UK tax compliance. Showcasing perfectly how ambition, production expertise and collaborative craftmanship come together to deliver a best-in-class result, the judges noted the label’s instant shelf appeal, technical execution, and sophisticated design as key reasons behind its win.

Digitally printed on a luxurious, textured substrate, the label delivers crisp typography and precise detailing to match the bold identity of the spirit - the world’s strongest premium gin at 61.8% ABV. Inspired by the Golden Ratio, the product’s design story is reflected through its use of embellishments and texture, creating a multi-sensory packaging experience that reinforces its luxury positioning and captures attention in the ultra-premium spirits space.

This award is the second major accolade for the Aureus Vita label in 2025, following its win for Excellence with Toner - Labels at the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards earlier this year.

David Richards, Managing Director at Amberley Labels, commented:

“From the moment I reviewed the artwork designed for Aureus Vita by Stranger & Stranger, the whole team knew this was a beautiful label that would showcase the wide range of embellishment capabilities we have here at Amberley Labels. The overall packaging - including an amazing bottle, stopper, and rigid carton, along with detailed booklets telling the story of this remarkable gin - aligned perfectly with a textured paper label that pushed the boundaries of embossing and debossing within a single design. It was an absolute delight for the team to work on, and we’re so pleased to be part of this award alongside such a collaborative customer.”

Amberley Labels’ recognition at the UK Packaging Awards highlights the team’s continued commitment to innovation, precision, and premium design - delivering packaging that doesn’t just stand out on shelf, but also tells a story of craft and creativity.
