Frequently Asked Questions on Labels & Tags

1. Do you stock plain labels?

The labels are available in 6 colours including: white, fluoro green, fluoro pink, fluoro red, fluoro yellow and fluoro orange.

2. What are freight labels and what is the difference between normal wound and reverse wound?

• Freight labels are made for the computer printing systems that most transport companies use. They are designed to meet common barcoding and shipping requirements. There are 2 different types: normal wound labels and reverse wound labels. Normal wound labels have the labels wound with the labels facing out, while reverse wound labels are wound with the labels facing in.

3. What is the difference between direct and transfer labels?

• Thermal transfer labels are used with a heated printed ribbon which produces durable and long-lasting images. It is designed with a highly smooth coating to provide a permanent scratch resistant bond.
• This is different to direct thermal labels where no ribbon is required and the image is created directly on the labels. This type of label is more sensitive to light, heat and abrasions which means it needs to be stored away from direct sunlight or heat and is suited for applications with a shorter life span.
