Roll labels are used for printing barcodes, logistics and product labels, shipping labels, warehouse locations and asset identification. Choosing the correct size, material, adhesive and printing technology is essential for reliable results.
When choosing roll labels, you need to consider not only label width and height but also core diameter, maximum roll diameter and winding configuration. These parameters must be compatible with the particular printer and the way it is used.
Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive labels and does not require a thermal transfer ribbon. It is particularly suitable when long-term print durability is not required. Thermal transfer printing uses a label together with a ribbon and, depending on the selected materials, can provide greater durability and a longer service life.
Label material and adhesive type are also important. Standard paper labels are suitable for many common applications, while more demanding environments may require more durable materials or specialised adhesives. Selection should take into account both the surface to which the label will be applied and the conditions it will face during use.
Other identification equipment and materials can be found in our Barcode category. If you are unsure about the correct label size or specification, we can help verify the right option for your printer and application.
The size depends on the amount of information to be printed, barcode dimensions and the available space on the item being labelled. You also need to check whether the printer supports the required media width and dimensions.
A direct thermal label reacts directly to heat from the printhead and does not require a ribbon. A thermal transfer label is printed using a ribbon and, depending on the materials selected, can provide more durable and longer-lasting identification.
The core diameter is the internal diameter of the tube on which the labels are wound. It must be compatible with the printer's media holder. The maximum external roll diameter is also important.
Compare label and roll dimensions, core diameter, printing method and any thermal transfer ribbon requirements with the printer specifications. If you are unsure, we can check compatibility using the exact printer model.
