From 1911 to 1924 the Rudolfine prints were produced in the printing house .
An important area since 1899 has been the design and printing of wine labels . Designers such as Peter Behrens , Heinrich Vogeler , Richard Throll and Ludwig Enders were hired for this. Labels have been printed for wines from all over the world, primarily from France.
