Answers covering label materials, production, roll specifications, and printer compatibility for dependable performance and efficient turnaround.

This approach helps maintain reliable quality while ensuring the roll format matches your production requirements.

Do you manufacture standard and custom label sizes? Ordering and Manufacturing

Yes. We manufacture a broad range of common label sizes and can produce rolls to your exact required dimensions.

Provide your target width and height and we will confirm the ideal configuration for your printer and application.
Which roll core sizes are available? Ordering and Manufacturing

We supply rolls with both 2 inch and 3 inch cores.

Share your printer model and we will confirm the correct core size and roll setup for reliable feeding performance.

Can you help verify the correct roll configuration? Ordering and Manufacturing

Yes. Provide your printer model and label dimensions and we can confirm the proper core size and roll setup for smooth operation and consistent printing.

Can you produce multiple label sizes for one brand? Ordering and Manufacturing

Yes. Many customers order several label sizes to support different product lines, packaging formats, and SKU variations.

Which label materials do you manufacture? Materials and Performance

We manufacture roll labels using four primary material options:

  • Matte Paper for a refined, understated appearance
  • Gloss Paper for vibrant color and retail appeal
  • Matte BOPP for waterproof durability with a modern matte finish
  • Gloss BOPP for waterproof performance and enhanced visual impact
Are your label materials waterproof? Materials and Performance

Matte BOPP and Gloss BOPP are waterproof materials designed to withstand moisture and regular handling.

Paper label stocks are generally recommended for dry indoor applications and controlled conditions.

What material works best for cosmetics and personal care products? Materials and Performance

For products exposed to moisture, oils, or daily handling, BOPP is typically the preferred material. Matte BOPP provides a clean premium finish, while Gloss BOPP offers additional shine and shelf visibility.

Should I choose matte or gloss labels? Materials and Performance

Matte finishes deliver a modern and premium appearance, while gloss finishes create a brighter, retail-focused presentation. Both finishes are available in paper and BOPP materials. The right option depends on your branding goals and application environment.

Do your labels perform well on curved containers? Materials and Performance

Yes. On curved jars, bottles, and tubes, the best performance comes from selecting the correct material and label dimensions while maintaining a balanced artwork layout to reduce wrinkling and edge lift.

Are your labels compatible with roll-fed inkjet label printers? Printer Compatibility

Yes. Our roll labels are designed for use with roll-fed inkjet label printers.

We can also help match the proper core size and roll setup for reliable feeding and clean print results.

Do you also supply thermal labels? Printer Compatibility

Yes. We provide thermal labels for shipping, warehouse operations, logistics, and industrial labeling applications.

What details do you need to confirm printer compatibility? Printer Compatibility

We typically need your printer model, core size, label dimensions, and the environment where the labels will be used. Based on that information, we can recommend the most suitable material and roll configuration.

Which artwork file format delivers the best print quality? Artwork and Setup

PDF files are preferred. High resolution artwork helps produce clean detail, sharp edges, and accurate print output.

  • Build artwork to the correct label dimensions
  • Keep critical text and elements away from trim edges
  • Use high resolution graphics whenever possible
Is bleed required on label artwork? Artwork and Setup

If your artwork prints fully to the edge without a border, bleed is recommended. Designs that include a white border may not require bleed.

How can I prevent readability issues with small label text? Artwork and Setup

Use high resolution files and avoid placing very small text near trim edges. For smaller label sizes, simplifying the layout can improve overall readability.
