The way your labels are supplied will either help or hinder your labelling application process and label distribution. In this blog post, we will look at three options of supplying your labels and why it matters how your labels are supplied.
Labels supplied on sheets, rolls or singles
One of the first decisions you’ll need to make when ordering labels is how you’d like them supplied. We supply labels on sheets, rolls or as singles, and each option offers unique advantages depending on what your labels are used for, if they are hand- or machine applied and whether your printing run is small, medium or large.
- Sheets: Labels supplied on sheets are ideal for smaller batch productions or if you need a variety of different label shape designs in one order. Multiple label shapes on a sheet are more cost-effective to produce than multiple shapes on a single roll. This is due to us being able to combine the different label shapes on one sheet rather than using different cutters. Labels on sheets also allow for easy distribution and use when you are applying labels by hand.Sheets are a popular option for children’s sticker sheets, decorative scrapbooking stickers, address labels, name tags, organiser or calendar stickers. In addition, labels supplied on sheets are beneficial when you intend to overprint using a desktop label printer, for example when sending mail.
- Rolls: When your label size and shape is the same for the entire print run, then labels supplied on rolls are a convenient and cost-effective option for you, both for machine and hand-application. Labels on rolls are especially beneficial for machine application when you have large quantities to handle or need automated labelling as the label application is quick and consistent. Rolls are available in different core sizes to perfectly suit your application needs and are key to consider especially for high-volume applications in manufacturing or packaging environments. Labels on rolls are often the requested format for bottle labels, food packaging labels, product labels, barcode and inventory labels, pharmaceutical and healthcare labels to name a few.
- Singles: This option allows for easy distribution when labels are handed out individually to customers and offers the advantage of applying labels quickly without any need for cutting. Another benefit of singles is the reduced waste from unused sheets.If you need individual labels for a specific project such as promotional giveaways, window stickers, charity stickers or sending individual labels via post, then labels supplied as singles are a great choice.
Key advantages of supplying your labels correctly
Choosing the correct way of supplying your labels brings multiple benefits:
- Improved efficiency: Whether it’s faster and smoother labelling application, easier storage, or seamless machine operation, the way your label is supplied will help improve your workflow.
- Cost-effective: How your labels are supplied can help reduce your labelling costs and material waste.
- Customisation: The ability to choose how your labels are supplied ensures that every detail aligns with your specific needs.
