Chubby Cherry label re-design

We need to re-design a label for our Chubby Cherry topping. We are currently printing the label in house but I would like to have it printed by a printing company. I would like the label 'jazzed up' a bit. Our in house crew designed our current label but the lack the skills to do a truly first class job. The current label in printed on 4x2 inch stock gloss. It uses a graphic that I down loaded and purchased the rights to use. You can either use the current graphic or another one. Specifications of the new label: * It needs to have a 'whimsical' feel. * It can have a custom die-cut, but that isn't a must. * The work must be submitted to me as an Illustrator file with layers intact and text NOT converted to outlines. * It needs to be communicated clearly on the label that it is more than just an ice cream topping - although that is is primary use. It is also used as a topping, mix-in and filling. * There needs to be a space for a UPC bar code and a space for a nutritional facts statement. * The maximum label height is 2.3 inches and the maximum label width is 5.5 inches. * The label fits on a round jar. A picture of which can be found here: [login to view URL] Our brands include Uncle Denny's ice cream toppings, Lawford's cream syrups, and Pioneer Valley jams, syrups, and caramels. You can see online some of our other labels. The Uncle Denny's Chubby Cherry uses a contrasting label and jar from the other Uncle Denny's products to differentiate itself. I have this bid as a 'simple job', but might consider paying a premium for a truly first rate, eye catching, impressive label. All submitted work becomes the sole property of Pioneer Valley and may not be copied, shared or reproduced in any way.
