Seal-It (Farmingdale, NY) prints the 2-mil polyvinyl chloride label on a gravure press in 10 colors.

The lush and realistic lemon and peach on each label are illustrated against a blue water background, so consumers can easily recognize one flavor from the other.
Launched about a year ago and priced at $1.19 in a variety of retail outlets, Aquess is available throughout most of the United States and Canada. Essentia chooses not to discuss closure, PET bottle vendor, or label application equipment. (PR)
