Retail printing something like the original label costs some 3 times more than the right... Making for a massive 3 or 4 cents difference on each label. Wholesale printing them has to be much cheaper, but the relative difference probably holds (so yeah, probably a fraction of a cent per label.)

Anyway, somebody probably saved a lot of money when you count each bottle for the lifetime of a printing machine. (Probably even more than they spent on the redesign.) And will get their bonus before the public has a bad reaction to the label.
