We use high-quality materials that have been thoroughly tested in-house. Find specifics for each material by clicking the "Learn More" button below.

No, different label materials are required for each printing process. However, we sell materials for each printer type:

Direct thermal labels
DYMO-compatible direct thermal labels
Thermal transfer labels
Inkjet roll labels

Roll labels are intended for use with thermal transfer, direct thermal, and inkjet roll printers only. They will not work with standard desktop inkjet or laser printers.

Yes. If you'd like to test whether a material will work for your application, we can send you a few sample sheets. Please fill out our sample request form and we'll mail them to you.

Thermal transfer printers utilize a thermal print-head to apply heat to a wax or resin-based ribbon. The ribbon ink is absorbed into the label material, creating a durable image that is ideal for applications requiring a longer-than-average shelf life.

Direct thermal printers use a thermal print-head as well, but do not require a printing ribbon. Instead, the chemically treated label material blackens when it comes into contact with the hot print-head, creating your image without the need for ink, ribbons, or toner. The resulting print is less durable, however, it's ideal for short shelf life applications.

Unlike their thermal counterparts, inkjet roll printers function much like traditional inkjet desktop printers. Ink cartridges dispense ink in the appropriate combinations onto your paper creating full-color images.

Learn more about the differences between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing or why you should go with an inkjet roll printer.

Our direct thermal label material is only capable of producing black text and images. If you're using a thermal transfer printer, you can print in color with the addition of a colored ribbon. Please note that if your thermal transfer printer accepts colored ribbons, installing one will only allow you to print in that color.

Yes. We have a variety of coated side out (CSO) black printing ribbons and coated side in (CSI) black printing ribbons compatible with a variety of thermal transfer printers including Zebra®, Datamax, and SATO.

We offer custom printing on sheets with no minimum quantities or hidden setup charges. You can select your shape, size, material, and quantity, as well as upload your own ready-to-print label artwork. Get a custom printed label quote or speak with a customer service representative at 1-888-575-2235.

We do not currently offer custom printing for roll labels.

Our labels usually have a shelf life of 1-3 years depending on environmental and storage conditions such as heat and humidity.

We offer a variety of different adhesives across our material lines. They include:

• Standard Permanent – This adhesive offers a strong, permanent backing for your general-purpose labels.
• Heavy-Duty Permanent – This is a non-waterproof, heavy-duty adhesive for tough conditions or longer staying power.
• Weatherproof Permanent – This adhesive is ideal for extreme conditions and/or environments where liquid or moisture are present.
• Removable – This adhesive can be repositioned or removed without leaving any residue.

Our products are non-toxic, and therefore don't require an MSDS according to OSHA. If you still require one, contact customer service at 1-888-575-2235 or submit a support ticket.

We make every effort to ensure our labels arrive in pristine condition. That's why we have a variety of packaging options designed to protect the integrity of your label sheets and rolls during shipping and handling.

For orders less than 100 sheets, your labels are packaged with chipboard in an envelope. For orders more than 100 sheets, your labels will arrive in a clamshell package. For orders of roll labels, the rolls are shrink wrapped and then boxed.

The term "die cut" is used to describe the process of cutting shapes from paper and other materials. This process works a lot like a cookie cutter – we place a die cutter on our machines and run it over uncut label paper. The resulting labels have shapes cut into them that correspond to the shape of the die.

This means that the die line is the physical border of your label. You should design your label with the assumption that nothing outside the die line will print or remain on the label once it's peeled up from the liner. If you want your design to go all the way to the edges of your label (as opposed to it having a white border), consider adding a bleed. 

If you're using the Custom Printed Label Tool, click the "Learn More" button below to see the difference between the die cut and bleed.

It depends on the material and writing instrument. Permanent-style markers (such as Sharpies®) work on most of the materials we offer, but other utensils may vary. If you plan to add handwritten content to your labels, click "Learn More" below to view a list of materials and their compatible writing instruments.

Whatever writing utensil you choose, we recommend giving the ink ample time to dry. If you'd like to test the material and writing instrument for yourself, you can request samples anytime.

"Matte" is a term used to describe the non-shiny, flat texture of a label.
