When to stop for fill-in on a textured wine label
On a textured wine label, stop if the smallest type cannot be read or the barcode plugs. If it hits the wine name or the smallest legal type, do not release it. Fine type gets heavier, reverse type shrinks or plugs.

Look first at whether it hit a critical spot
Fine type gets heavier, reverse type shrinks or plugs. When register is off, the type is still clear, only shifted. On a textured wine label, the critical spots are the wine name or the smallest legal type. If the decorative area has no hickey chart, do not invent a millimetre number on the spot.
Side by side
| What you see | Call | Do not |
|---|---|---|
| Fine type gets heavier, reverse type shrinks or plugs. | Stop if the smallest type cannot be read or the barcode plugs. | Add ink or impression the moment you see it |
| It lands on the wine name or the smallest legal type | This one cannot be released | Wait for the next process to find it |
| Only on decoration, and there is no hickey chart | Keep a sample and confirm | Write your own millimetre number |
Do this first on this pass
- Confirm it is fill-in: fine type heavier, reverse type smaller or plugged.
- Reduce ink or impression first. Do not hide it by raising the screen ruling.
- Note the type size, the ink, and the impression.
