Reach peak productivity with premium roll labels
There are many advantages to using roll labels, including:
- Durable print images – Roll labels can be printed in either direct thermal or thermal transfer mode. Thermal transfer technology uses a blank carbon ribbon, which is melted onto the face of the label when heat is applied. This method of printing produces a permanent print image, which is highly-resistant to fading and scuffing.
- Automated printing – Rolls have significant label capacity and do not require frequent paper changes, a combination that supports seamless automated printing.
- More material options – Roll labels are available in a wider range of materials and adhesives than alternative forms of label printing, such as A4 sheet or inkjet printing.
- High-quality barcodes – Thermal transfer technology prints barcodes with unrivalled quality, accuracy and consistency, resulting in superior scan performance.
- Minimal waste – Roll labels enable you to print a single label without wasting an entire page. Additionally, roll labels can be set up for automated application to your products.
- Low printing costs – With a low cost per label, roll labels are an economical solution particularly for customer printing high volumes of labels.
- High print speeds – Unlike sheet labels, roll labels are continuously fed through purpose-built label printers that are specifically designed for high-speed printing.
Selecting the right roll labels for your printer
For efficient on-demand labelling, you need roll labels that will maximise your label printer’s potential. All of our labels are compatible with Zebra®, Datamax®/Honeywell® and/or Brother® printers to deliver outstanding results.
When purchasing roll labels for your label printer, there are five factors to consider: printing technology, maximum print width, core size, maximum roll outer diameter and label roll direction.
Printing technology
Label printers utilise various technologies (such as thermal transfer, direct thermal and inkjet) to produce barcodes, text and graphics on label media. It is important to understand the benefits and suitability of each technology, as each one requires specialised label material. Our product experts can advise on which technology best suits your business needs.
Maximum print width
Most desktop and industrial label printers have a 4″ wide (100mm) print capacity. Your printer will also have a maximum media capacity (width of the label including the web). Check your printer specifications for these details. Industrial models are available with a 6.6″ (168mm) print capacity if you need to print a wider label. Call us today for more information.
Core size
Roll labels are normally supplied on a cardboard core. The inside diameter of this core must match your label printer specification. Desktop printers normally take 25mm (1″ cores), while mid-range and industrial printers normally take 76mm (3″ cores).
The core’s inner diameter must fit your printer’s spool securely. If it is too tight, the roll will not fit on this spool to begin with. If it is too large, the roll will not be able to rotate and feed the labels through your printer successfully.
Maximum roll outer diameter
The roll’s outer diameter must not exceed your printer’s specifications which is normally 120mm roll od for desktop printers and 200mm roll od for mid range and industrial printers.
Label roll direction
Winding direction determines the way in which your labels will be run through the machine. This is particularly important if you have pre-printed labels and existing label formats.
