Hellenic olive oil producer ELAION has been delivering premium olive oil to a market more saturated than butter. So how do you sell a quality product in a market that doesn’t always sell quality products? Match your label to your product – go lean to keep it pure.

Food label for Elaion, produced by GS Labelprint, Greece

Keeping it simple sounds easy enough, but anyone in the food industry can testify it really isn’t. On top of irregularities and alterations to take into account, keeping the label quality consistent is a constant challenge. GS Labelprint turned to Xeikon to keep the devil out of the details and secure meticulous rendering. An impeccable quality was all it took to elevate the product as a stand-out in the market.

The end-result?

Mission accomplished for GS Labels, with a client raving about the increased brand recognition this label established on the shelves.
