BEHIND THE LABEL
Welcome to Diageo’s Sneak Peek Behind the Label
“Diageo emphasizes the importance of aligning supplier agility with real-time consumer insights to drive operational efficiency and meet evolving market demands.” Nik Jhangiani, Interim CEO Diageo
Every day, Diageo celebrates life, everywhere, for everyone—bringing people together through iconic brands and unforgettable experiences. Your commitment to being the best performing, most trusted, and most respected consumer products company is evident in your strategic pillars: brand leadership, operational excellence, and sustainability from grain to glass. At MCC, we’re inspired by your ambition and excited about the opportunity to partner with you on this journey. Our proven track record, local expertise, and agile structure—aligned with Diageo’s strategic priorities—position us uniquely to support your goals. We are excited to participate in and collaborate with your Altruistiq platform implementation and Joint Business Planning program to deliver the best results for Diageo. As we take you Behind the Label and share the MCC story, remember this: a great label does more than inform. It connects emotionally, champions sustainability, and amplifies innovation. It’s a reflection of the values that define Diageo—inclusivity, responsibility, and progress.
Gavin McCue
Together, we can shape the future of consumer engagement—through packaging that not only protects and promotes but also inspires and elevates. We look forward to continuing the conversation and helping Diageo lead the way in a world where culture, technology, and purpose converge.

RECENT PROJECTS WE’RE PROUD OF
Project Scoot
CARBON BENEFIT The amount of carbon that our solution saved is equivalent to:
Taking around 53 roundtrip flights between New York City and London.
THE OPPORTUNITY Providing Diageo with the most efficient UK supply chain.
MCC’S SOLUTION • Switch manufacturing from Cwmbran, Wales, to Clydebank, Scotland. • Clydebank is an approved Diageo factory and currently supplies Diageo.
“Switching manufacturing to one plant simplified the overall process. Providing a single point of contact for customer service, label engineering and technical streamlined the supply chain, enabling joint forecasting, quicker reporting, more consistent packaging, reduced shipments, and less goods inwards.”
OUR RESULT • Carbon reduction: 106 metric tons • Cost savings: £121,000, including: • £84,000 in reduced transportation • £37,000 in artwork and FOC label savings
Dave Crombie, Account Manager, Sales

RECENT PROJECTS WE’RE PROUD OF
Captain Morgan Redesign
GOLD INK
FOIL
Gold ink
Foil
OUR RESULT The solution not only saves 37,000 pounds of waste each year but also reduces costs, making it a win across sustainability and cost for both Diageo and MCC.
THE OPPORTUNITY The Captain Morgan team reached out to MCC for help redesigning their label. The intent was to remove visual complexity to make the brand look more carefree and accessible. Financial and environmental sustainability were key objectives in the project.
MCC’S SOLUTION MCC’s Mason Team presented a version that used gold ink with a PCR substrate to replace the previous foil. Balancing color, metallic/opaque and glossy/matte elements, and embossing effects, achieves a premium new look and feel for Captain Morgan.
Introduction Technology
“With over two decades of commitment to our company, Heidi Cook has been a cornerstone of our technical team in NA. Heidi and her team developed a gold ink formulation that replaces foil to offer environmental benefits, and which is used as a benchmark within Diageo. Her work exemplifies the perfect blend of innovative thinking and experience.” Juliana Farah, NA Key Account Manager Heidi Cook, Technical Manager

RECENT PROJECTS WE’RE PROUD OF
Project Cartouche Baileys
CARBON BENEFIT MCC’s solution reduced CO2 from liner raw materials by 49%.
THE OPPORTUNITY Optimizing material solution to provide cost and emissions savings and contingency.
Glassine to PET reduction: • • • •
Energy: 17% Water: 50% Transport: 25% Application stops: 25%
MCC’S SOLUTION Switch from UPM Raflabright RP30X PGBW135 to Avery HGWine FSC S2030 PET30.
OUR RESULT • All Diageo plants involved validated application at standard speed for all cartouche sizes. • New material was approved in the third quarter of 2024 with the first production order in the fourth quarter of the same year. • Cost savings: €76,000
Introduction Technology
“Optimizing the liner offers two important advantages. Transitioning from two-layer glassine and PET to singlelayer PET, which can be collected and addressed in the recycling steam, improves the liner’s recyclability. It also reduces weight for the same label quantity, delivering a freight advantage.” Paul Simi, Senior Account Executive

RECENT PROJECTS WE’RE PROUD OF
Crown Royal Redesign
OUR RESULT This process combined the best knowledge and practices of the original plants to deliver an impressive new design that continues to evolve with new flavors.
THE OPPORTUNITY The Crown Royal redesign was launched in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production until early 2024. The project included new label templates to accommodate a refreshed bottle as well as a new cigar-band-style neck label. These improvements required coordination across multiple MCC sites and introduced complexity around adhesives, roll formations, and more. Concerted efforts were needed to ensure success after the five-year disruption.
“Seeing the Crown Royal redesign project evolve from early ideation to full-scale production—especially while navigating a facility move—was both challenging and deeply rewarding. Collaborating with Diageo and our internal teams to bring new innovations to life has been a career highlight.”
MCC’S SOLUTION To manage the onboarding of the largest Crown Royal project across two different technologies—pressure-sensitive and cut-and-stack—MCC simultaneously relocated and merged facilities. Prior to implementation, we conducted scale-up and disaster checks, trained the new team on Diageo’s ways of working, onboarded all new artwork for the brand, introduced new ink formulations, secured customer approvals, and supported start-ups on the labelers, addressing quality concerns along the way.

BEFORE
Mexico Tax Stamp
AFTER
CURRENT PROJECT
THE OPPORTUNITY The Mexican government requires a stamp on products to facilitate tax payment and demonstrate to customers that the product is legal. Previously, government-printed physical tax stamps were applied as separate labels, which complicated printing logistics. Limited government printing resources often left producers without stamps during peak seasons. The stamps were also vulnerable to counterfeiting, compromising product authenticity.
OUR RESULT This innovation positioned MCC among only a few certified printers capable of handling Mexico’s complex tax stamp requirements. The integrated solution eliminated supply chain disruptions while creating a premium label category. “Some projects now see back labels with tax stamps commanding higher prices than traditional front labels as a result of streamlined look, and foreign brands that require Mexican tax compliance have become new market opportunities.”
MCC’S SOLUTION MCC developed a new approach that integrates tax stamp elements into traditional labels with a single application. Instead of relying on government-supplied physical stamps, we receive variable data directly from the government database and print QR codes and alphanumeric numbers using specialized tracking technology. Our solution includes comprehensive reporting systems that document all variable printed data, meeting both customer and governmental requirements.

Where do you want to market your product? Location matters when it comes to regulations, recycling, and supply chain security.
What is the container type and material? Your label will need to be compatible with the container, and certain combinations are more recyclable than others, for example.
What is your current label technology? Whether you stick with your existing technology (i.e. pressure sensitive) or you’re considering a switch, it’s important to understand the implications here.
What are your sustainability goals? What matters to you overall? Is it improving recyclability? Reusability? Overall carbon footprint reduction?
