The diameter of a complete roll of labels.

Most stock labels have outer diameters ranging from 4-8 inches.

Please check your printer's specifications to determine the maximum roll outer diameter that it can fit.

Direct thermal labels are made of thermally active paper, with a coating that reacts to heat from the printhead to produce an image on the label. Direct thermal labels do not require a ribbon for printing. The images on direct thermal labels fade over time and are vulnerable to sun exposure and heat.

Thermal transfer labels require a printer ribbon to transfer the image onto the label. The images on these labels last much longer than on direct thermal labels. Thermal transfer labels should be used when the barcode or text on them needs to be easily read a few months after printing or when labels will be exposed to sunlight or heat.

Paper labels can be used in applications that require short-term label life, such as shipping and product packaging. Most direct thermal labels are paper labels.

Synthetic labels last longer and may be more suited to applications that involve harsher environmental elements such as moisture, chemicals, abrasion, etc. Our label experts will pick the synthetic material (e.g. polypropylene, polyester) most suited to your specified application needs below.

Permanent adhesive - Works for most common surfaces such as corrugated paper and plastics.

Aggressive/High-tack adhesive - Better suited to uneven surfaces such as wood.

Removable adhesive - For applications where the label will needs to be cleanly removed later.

None - Select "None" if your tags will be attached with a hole or alternative method.

Most printers can accept both wound-out and wound-in labels, even if they specify one type.

Label printers require a sensing point on the label roll to indicate the start and end of each label. Most new printers can detect different types of sensing indicators. Please check your printer's specifications to determine the label roll sensing indicators it can accommodate.

List any environmental conditions that your label needs to be protected against.
