Reasons why we recommend Unprinted labels

You get the right size and material for your unprinted label

Based on your label printer and the surface where the unprinted label will be applied, we make sure you get the right size. There are a variety of sizes to choose from, which are indicated in wx h. There are also round labels.

There is also a wide range of different materials to choose from. Based on the product the label will be applied to, the environment it will be in, and the visual design, we will help you develop the right material.

The correct properties of the unprinted label are A and O

To determine the properties of the unprinted label, it is important to consider the surface to which the label will be applied. For example, rubber needs a certain type of adhesive while plastic needs another. Other important aspects to consider are the environment the label will be in and what it will withstand. A label that will be exposed to the elements should withstand both water and sunlight. Of course, there is a lot to think about – but we are happy to help you!

Unprinted labels that fit your label printer

When it comes to label printers, the two most common options are direct thermal and thermal transfer. It is important to have the right label that is adapted for these printers.

  • Direct thermal (DT): Paper label with heat-sensitive properties and changes color when affected by the heat from the printer's thermal head. This type of label is common for e.g. receipts or shipping labels and is used without a ribbon.
  • Thermal transfer (TT): Thermal transfer printing is more traditional, where the printer's thermal head heats the ink ribbon that is between the label and the print head.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Unprinted labels

It depends on the need. Thermal transfer printers are perfect for durable labels and direct thermal transfer printers for short shelf life:

  • Provides sharp, high-definition, high-quality text, graphics and barcode prints.
  • Ideal for applications that require long life, such as product labels.
  • The thermal transfer printhead lasts longer than the direct thermal printhead.
  • Higher consumption cost as it requires ink ribbon.

Direct thermal transfer printer

  • Produces sharp, high-quality labels with good readability.
  • Sensitive to environmental conditions such as heat and light.
  • Ideal for applications that only require a short shelf life – e.g. shipping labels and receipts.
  • No need to refill any ink, toner or ribbon.

Yes, they are available in many materials that can withstand moisture, heat and wear, depending on what you need.

Yes, there is, both recycled plastic and recycled paper.

When ordering labels on rolls, it is most common for the labels to be on a backing paper to protect the labels during delivery and warehouse management. The backing paper is the paper that you peel the label off of and is made of silicone to make it easier to peel the label off. Once you have peeled off the labels, the backing paper is thrown away, which is bad for the environment.

It is now possible to order labels without carrier paper where the labels are just rolled up separately. There is then a varnish on top of the label material that acts as a kind of protection so that the adhesive does not stick to the labels in the roll. These are temporarily only available as direct thermal labels in paper.

The minimum order value is 2000 SEK, the number of labels for this amount depends on material, size and adhesive, among other things.

There is a whole wealth of material!

For paper labels, you can choose, for example, coated paper, rustic wine paper or metallic paper. Plastic or synthetic labels are available in polypropylene, polyethylene, vinyl or polyester, the latter two of which are UV-resistant.

For example, if you have a package in the form of a tube or bottle where the label needs to be more flexible, it may be advantageous to choose polyethylene. Inkjet is a material on the label, available in both plastic and paper, matte and glossy, that absorbs ink, making it optimal for labels that are to be printed on your own in a color printer.

Other materials worth mentioning are transparent and holographic.

If you are looking for a label made from recycled material, we have it in both paper and plastic.

To create a label, you need to specify the dimensions width x length and how it should be rolled up.

We have a variety of existing punches in different sizes. If the measurement is not found in an existing punch, we can create a new punch or use laser cutting.

A punch is a tool for cutting out labels.

Winding and Bobbin/core: We can offer cores in 1 inch (25,4 mm), 2 inches (41 mm) and 3 inches (76,2 mm).

Flushing: It is important to remember that if the label is not to be applied by hand, the labels are rolled up correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk that the label will end up in the wrong direction in an automated process.

It is also important to know the maximum outer diameter of the label roll so that the roll is not too large and therefore does not fit in the printer. This information is usually available in the data sheet for your printer.
