Rotary Screen is a labeling technique created inline on a flexographic printing press. It produces a glossy and textured effect. Below is an example that uses Rotary Screen, the Shipwreck R&D wine label created by Great Lakes Label. From a distance, it looks like an ordinary label, so let’s take a closer look.

A Closer Look at Rotary Screen

As you can see below, the tentacle details are more realistic due to the glistening look that this technique provides. It looks like the monster sprung straight out of the water. This makes an immersive and sensory experience for customers. Once a customer picks up the product to feel the texture, they are more likely to make a purchase. The tentacles are the perfect motif for this particular technique due to the wet and glossy nature of both the screen and the real-life tentacle.
