Label Rolls

Label printer rolls and sticker rolls are essentially the labels that you will be placing on a certain object to mark up what it is. Label rolls are a key accessory that you will need for your label makers and label printers. Are you looking to label some of your files, folders, draws, etc.? Label printer rolls are exactly what you need so you are able to print whatever you want onto these tapes to then stick/label anywhere you need these to be placed. Label printers and makers are usually used within offices and businesses but can also be used within your house to label important files in document holders and folders. Sticker rolls can also be used to produce address labels.

Benefits of Label Printer Rolls

Label printer rolls offer a convenient and efficient way to create labels for a variety of applications. They provide clear and durable labelling solutions, improving organisation, safety, and efficiency in various settings. Roll labels also are available in a wide range of materials, sizes, and colours to suit different needs and environments.

Types of Label Rolls

There are numerous types of label rolls designed for different printing technologies and applications, such as:

Direct Thermal Labels

Direct thermal labels use heat-sensitive material that changes colour when exposed to heat from the print head. They are commonly used for applications where the label does not need to be highly durable, such as shipping labels and receipts.

Thermal Transfer Labels

These label rolls are commonly used for product labelling, asset tracking, and industrial applications. Thermal transfer labels use a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label material, producing durable and long-lasting labels that can withstand harsh environments.

Laser Labels

Laser label rolls are designed for use with laser printers, offering high-quality printing and sharp image reproduction. They are commonly used for product labels, barcodes, and other applications where precision and clarity are essential.

TZe Tapes

TZe tapes are a type of thermal transfer label specifically designed for Brother label printers. They offer exceptional durability and resistance to fading, making them ideal for labelling cables, wires, and equipment in industrial environments.

Label Roll Anatomy

A typical label roll consists of several key components:

• Facestock: This is the front part of the label where the information is printed. It can be made of various materials, such as paper, film, or foil, depending on the desired durability and appearance.
• Adhesive: This is the sticky part of the label that adheres to the surface. Different adhesives are available for various surfaces and environments. Adhesive label rolls are designed for easy application and strong bonding.
• Liner: This is the backing material that protects the adhesive and allows for easy peeling and application of the label.
• Top Coating: This optional layer provides additional protection to the facestock, enhancing its resistance to moisture, abrasion, or UV exposure.
• Core: This is the sturdy cardboard or plastic tube that the label roll is wound around.
