Product Information
We offer a wide range of custom-sized, blank labels, both large and small quantities, that you can print on using a thermal transfer printer. Blank labels are suitable for those who want to print information in the form of text and barcodes, but of course, they are also used for other purposes.
When designing and choosing labels, it is important to keep the label’s material in mind. In order to determine the material, it is also important to consider the surface on which the label is to be applied. For example, rubber needs a certain type of label while plastic needs another. Other important aspects to take into account are what kind of environment the label will be in and what it should withstand. A label that is to 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!
No matter what you want for the characteristics of your label, we have the material for you. We will be happy to come and talk through your needs and wishes!
What is the minimum order volume for labels?
The minimum order value is 2000 SEK, and the quantity of labels for this amount depends on factors such as material, size, and adhesive.
What material options are available for your label?
There is a wide array of materials available!
For paper labels, you can choose options such as coated paper, rustic wine paper, or metallic paper. Plastic or synthetic labels are available in materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, vinyl, or polyester, with the latter two being UV-resistant.
If you have packaging 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 used on the label, available in both plastic and paper, matte and glossy, designed to absorb ink, making it ideal for labels that need to be printed manually in a color printer.
Other noteworthy materials include transparent and holographic labels.
If you are looking for a label made from recycled material, we offer options in both paper and plastic.
When it comes to blank labels, the two most common options are direct thermal and thermal transfer.
- Direct Thermal (DT): A paper label with heat-sensitive properties that changes color when exposed to the heat from the printer’s thermal head. This type of label is common for receipts or shipping labels and is used without a ribbon.
- Thermal Transfer (TT): A thermal transfer print is more traditional; the printer’s thermal head heats the ribbon situated between the label and the print head.
Label size?
To create a label, you need to specify dimensions (width x length) and how it should be rolled up.
We have a variety of existing die-cuts in different sizes. If the measurement is not available in an existing die-cut, we can create a new die-cut or alternatively use laser cutting.
A die-cut is a tool used to cut out labels.
Good to know!
Rewinding and Core/Spindle: We can offer cores/spindles in 1 inch (25.4 mm), 2 inches (41 mm), and 3 inches (76.2 mm).
Rewinding: It’s important to consider if the label is not to be applied by hand, ensuring that the labels are wound correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of the label ending up in the wrong orientation during an automated process.
It’s also crucial to know the maximum outer diameter of the label roll to ensure it doesn’t become too large and, consequently, doesn’t fit into the printer. This information is usually available in the datasheet for your printer.
How does the process of obtaining unprinted labels work?
- When you reach out to us, we need to know the size, material, adhesive, and quantity for the intended label. We then provide a quote.
- Once you approve the quote, we ask you to send your artwork for the label in PDF format. We send an order acknowledgment, and this artwork should also be approved based on the delivery address, quantity, and material.
- We then create a proof that needs to be approved to ensure the information is correct.
- After approval, we initiate the printing process and roll up the labels on spools.
- Delivery takes approximately 8-10 working days. It may be faster depending on the type of label ordered.
