Labels on rolls

Printed roll labels you can see in 3D first

We print your labels on rolls using flexo, digital and offset printing, die-cut to your format and wound on the core your dispenser, labelling machine or printer needs.

Before you send a request, you can rotate your roll here with your own artwork, adjust the dimensions and save the image. If you like, we take the dimensions straight into your request.

Upload your artwork as PNG, JPG or SVG, adjust the dimensions in the settings and rotate the roll with your mouse or finger. Use the settings to save the image as a PNG, with a transparent background if you wish.

Your artwork stays in your browser and is not sent to us. Values from the settings of the 3D view. We check with you whether your equipment takes the roll.

Understanding the roll

Core, winding direction, outer diameter

Three figures decide whether a roll fits your equipment. They are the same fields as in the 3D view.

01

Core

also called core diameter

The core is the tube the labels are wound on. Its inner diameter has to match the holder of your printer, dispenser or labelling machine. Small desktop devices usually take smaller cores, high-speed labelling machines often 76 mm. For flexo and offset printing we wind on cores of 25.4, 40, 50 and 76 mm.

02

Winding direction

wound in or out, plus the unwind direction

Wound out means the labels sit on the outside of the liner. Wound in, they face the core. On top of that comes the unwind direction of the artwork: whether it leaves the device top first or bottom first, to the left or to the right. Which combination you need is usually stated in your equipment's documentation. If not, we will work it out with you.

03

Outer diameter

determines the labels per roll

The outer diameter limits how many labels fit on a roll. What matters is the largest roll your device takes, the label height including the gap and the thickness of the material. The more labels per roll, the less often you change rolls.

Roll calculator

How many labels fit on a roll?

The roll calculator works out the number of labels, the roll length or the outer diameter from material thickness, label height, gap and core. On the weight tab it calculates the weight of a roll from paper length, web width and grammage.

We are happy to tell you the thickness of your label material. The result is a guide value; the binding figures are in your quote.
