Barcode Label Roll purchasing instructions

Self-adhesive label, also called self-adhesive label, is a composite material with paper, film or special materials as the fabric, coated with adhesive on the back and silicone-coated protective paper as the backing paper.

• Best-selling sizes:     

  • 100mm*150mm, 75mm*120mm, 58mm*40mm, 60mm*40mm, 50mm*25mm, etc. Since we are a factory, we accept customization and you can get any size you want from us.

• Elements of a roll of label:   

  • Length and width of each piece, number of pieces per roll, jump spacing (spacing between each two pieces), flying edge (spacing between the two sides of each piece)

• Representation of label rolls:   

  • For example: 58mm*40mm*500pcs.Here 58mm is the width of each piece of label, 40mm is the height of each piece, 500 refers to the number of pieces of each roll, three numbers of specifications is a complete specification.

• Pipe core:     
  • There are many kinds of pipe cores, the material is roughly divided into cardboard cores and plastic cores, the most commonly used plastic cores are black plastic cores, the default size of 40mm * 44mm, in addition to 16mm * 20mm, 25mm * 29mm, 76mm * 80mm, etc.

• Packaging:

  • The default packaging is transparent plastic shrink, the specific number of each package is based on the size of the paper roll to decide, generally small rolls 4-5 rolls a package, large rolls 1-2 rolls a package. In addition to black plastic shrink packaging, we also have black cookie bags, white paper packaging, custom logo paper packaging, neutral packaging and so on. Of course, the packaging method is subject to customer orders.

  • The quantity reaches a certain amount, the box mark can be printed on the box free of charge, instead of labeling the box mark, which will be more beautiful. In addition, we can also customize white boxes or color boxes,etc.

• Certificate:
  • Our materials meet all international testing standards, and we have certifications and test reports from SGS, FSC, ISO and other internationally renowned institutions.

• Transportation:
  • We have long-term cooperative freight forwarders, and we have more favorable prices in road, sea and railroad transportation methods, of course, we can also deliver your freight to your freight forwarder.

• Surface material:

• • Our self-adhesive materials can be simply divided into three types: thermal label, bond label,paper label.

    Thermal label, direct thermal label, show color by thermal technology, without any ink or ribbon.

    Bond label, thermal transfer label, need external media transition to achieve color development.

    Paper label, label surface material similar to A4 paper, relatively rough, need external media transition to achieve color development.

• Lamination type label:

  • the outermost layer of film, mostly matte and glossy two kinds of film, not easy to tear damage, preservation time is relatively longer.

  • Mainly divided into: thermal film, synthetic film, PET film.Lamination type label is more often used in electronic appliances, car instructions, jewelry and clothing tags, senior logistics and some other occasions with high requirements for paper quality, waterproof, not easy to damage, long preservation time.

• Adhesives:

  • For different applications and requirements, we have different adhesives:

    Water adhesive, hot melt adhesive, removable adhesive, film adhesive, permanent adhesive, etc. Among them, there are general-purpose hot melt adhesives, high viscosity hot melt adhesives, frozen hot melt adhesives (can be stored at low temperature), etc.

• Backing paper:

  • The backing paper surface material is now mostly Grassian backing paper. There are three main colors, blue, yellow and white. In addition, there are also other materials, and other types of colors, such as transparent, etc.

    The face and backing materials have thickness options, generally the bigger the square gram weight, the larger the thickness of the paper.

• Comparison of bond label and thermal label:
  • As the more traditional paper labels, has gradually withdrawn from our life, while bond labels and thermal labels occupy the main market, in the choice of these two materials, we should consider the following issues:
  • As mentioned above, the consumables are different, the way of color development is different, the use of different printers.
  • Different shelf life:
    • The shelf life of the media printed by thermal machines is generally six months to one year (depending on the specific storage location, luminosity, temperature and other environmental )
    • Thermal transfer machines print out the media preservation time is longer, generally more than two years (depending on the quality of the label paper and ribbon)
  • The scope of application is different:
    • Applicable locations:
    • Thermal machine: supermarkets, clothing stores, logistics, retail and other enterprises that do not have high requirements for bar codes.
    • Thermal transfer machine: manufacturing, automotive industry, textile industry, telecommunications, food sector, electronics industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, medical industry, public utilities, retail distribution, transportation and logistics, government agencies and many other enterprises.
  • Different cost:
    • Cost comparison: thermal machines are less costly than thermal transfer printing, and consumables are also lower.

• Printing
  • Stickers occupy all aspects of our life, just like what we see in life, it is not all blank, many businesses will print their logos, patterns, etc. on the thermal paper, which not only increases the beauty of the paper, but also plays a promotional role. As a manufacturer, we accept custom printing services with your own graphics.

• Size

  • Most of the sizes we can customize, our shapes are not only limited to square, round and some simple unconventional shapes are also what we often do. In addition, the types with holes with tear lines and anti-counterfeit labels on the back are also available.
