Labels Lend Elegance

Atlanta-based Bella Cucina gives its specialty gourmet food varieties a distinct note of elegance through the use of decorative touches like the hand-applied pressure-sensitive paper label shown here.

Pw 9608 Bella Cucina Antipasti

This 6-oz glass jar of Piccolo Pomadoro with Tomato and Basil sells for $8 at specialty shops or online. Not in view is a p-s paper label on the bottom that carries bar code, UPC, ingredients, and other information. Both labels are supplied by Stoffel Seals (www.stoffel.com).

“We’ve worked with Stoffel a long time,” says Alisa Barry, founder and principal of Bella Cucina. “They do quality work, their service is good, and they meet our design objectives.” Elsewhere in its product line, says Barry, Bella Cucina’s containers are decorated with paper wraps and elastic string tags, also from Stoffel Seals. —Pat Reynolds
