Alongside ongoing growing gin sales, the UK has also seen a sharp rise in the number of rum brands on the market. In 2006, there were around 50 rum brands available in the UK, but now that number is approaching 200, with dark-flavoured, spiced, and premium rums being the most popular. The UK’s growing appetite for rum is set to reach £1 billion, an increase of 18% by volume over the last 5 years.
The creation of stylish, stand-out rum labels has seen a move towards bright and vibrant designs, with an emphasis on embellishment with gold hot foils to reflect Caribbean heritage and culture.
Alongside labels for dark and white rum, we are also seeing an increase in labels for rum liqueurs, which are becoming as popular as gin liqueurs. For rum distilleries just starting out, The Label Makers offer a completely scalable label production solution - from short runs on digital to larger runs by Flexo.
