Roll labels

What is a roll label?

A roll label (also called label mounted on rolls) is a type of label that is attached to a roll. The label can be peeled off from the roll and applied to another surface.

Most roll labels come ready to use . However, it is also possible to attach blank labels to a roll and later print the label information on them.

What types of roll labels are there?

There are many different types of roll labels.

Roll labels come in multiple sizes. The bigger the size, the bigger the roll, and so the other way around. This allows the manufacturer to choose the exact size in which the labels should be printed. However, if the labels are supposed to be applied by a labeling machine, it is important that the size of the roll fits the machine’s size requirements.

Roll labels also come in multiple shapes. Most of them have a rectangular or square shape, although it is also possible to print circular roll labels or roll labels with customized shapes.

Finally, roll labels can be printed in different materials. Paper, plastic/film or more resistant materials (e.g. waterproof paper) can be used to manufacture them.

How are roll labels applied?

Roll labels can be applied manually or with the help of a labeling machine.

Since small orders of roll labels are rather rare and bulk orders are usually cheaper than small requests, using a labeling machine to apply roll labels is the method of choice. In particular, a label dispenser is used to apply the labels. The rolls are inserted in the dispenser, which then applies the labels automatically.

In special cases (e.g. when the labels are intended to be applied outdoors), the usage of a label dispenser may be problematic. In such cases, manually applying the labels becomes the most appropriate solution.
