FAQs: Blank Labels

What are the benefits of using blank labels?

Blank labels offer tremendous flexibility and are cost-effective for various business applications. They allow for on-demand printing, which means you can print exactly what you need, when you need it—reducing waste and inventory costs.

This is particularly useful for businesses that require frequent updates to labeling information such as prices, product descriptions, or barcodes. Blank labels can be used with desktop or industrial printers and are ideal for customizing labels in-house quickly and efficiently.

How should you store blank labels to maintain their quality?

To ensure the longevity and quality of blank labels, proper storage is crucial:

Avoid Exposure to Direct Sunlight and Heat: Store labels in a cool, dry place to prevent the adhesive from degrading and the label material from warping.

Keep in Original Packaging: This protects the labels from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors that could compromise their printability and adhesive qualities.

Rotate Stock: Use labels on a \”first in, first out\” basis. Older labels might experience changes in adhesive quality and material integrity over time, so it’s best to use them up before newer stocks.

Can blank labels be used in any printer?

Blank labels are versatile, but not all are suitable for every type of printer. Labels designed for direct thermal printers should not be used in thermal transfer printers, and vice versa.

Additionally, laser and inkjet printers require different label materials and adhesives that can withstand the heat of a laser printer or the liquid ink of an inkjet. It’s essential to check the manufacturer’s specifications for compatibility to ensure optimal print quality and prevent damage to your printer.

What types of materials are available for blank labels?

We specialize in providing paper direct thermal labels for thermal transfer printers. These labels are made from a paper material that is coated with a heat-sensitive layer. When passed through a thermal print head, the coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, creating an image or text.

Benefits of Paper Direct Thermal Labels:

  • Cost-Effective: Ideal for short-term applications and economical for high-volume printing.
  • Easy to Use: Requires no ink, toner, or ribbons.
  • Versatile: Perfect for shipping labels, receipts, and more.

If you require labels in other materials such as polyester, vinyl, polypropylene, or other specialty materials, please contact us, and we can accommodate your needs.

How do I choose the right adhesive for my blank labels?

The choice of adhesive is critical based on the application:

Permanent Adhesive: Offers a strong hold and is suitable for labels that must stay in place for the long term, such as safety labels and asset tags.

Removable Adhesive: Allows for the label to be peeled off without leaving residue, ideal for temporary labeling of products or where items need to be labeled without damage.

Freezer or High-Temperature Adhesive: Specialty adhesives designed for extreme environments, whether cold storage or high-heat applications like engines or outdoor equipment.

Are there eco-friendly options for blank labels?

Yes, there are several eco-friendly options available for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact:

Recycled Materials: Labels made from recycled paper or plastics help conserve resources and reduce waste.

Biodegradable Labels: These labels break down more quickly in the environment, reducing long-term waste.

Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Certified Labels: Made from paper sourced from well-managed forests that prioritize sustainability practices.
