Opaque, waterproof film for bold graphics on dark containers. Available with food-contact-compliant options for beverage and cosmetic lines. BOPP roll labels handle the wet end.

Clear BOPP no-label look roll labels

Clear BOPP

Clear film for a no-label look on glass and transparent packs. Acrylic adhesive options support condensation environments.

Paper and kraft roll labels for logistics

Paper & Kraft

Cost-effective paper for logistics, shipping, and hand-applied labels. Recyclable options are available.

PET film roll labels for industrial applications

PET Film

Heat- and chemical-resistant film for industrial tags, medical vials, and hot-fill use. Durable print options are available.

Machine specification

Three parameters every applicator needs verified

Wrong core size, unwind direction, or roll OD are the top causes of labeling line downtime. We map all three against your applicator manual before die-cutting.

Core size

1″ or 3″ Standard

1″ for desktop and manual dispensers. 3″ industrial standard for automatic applicators. Core ID tolerance ±0.1mm.

Tolerance: ±0.1mm core ID

Unwind direction

Positions #1–#8

Face-in or face-out. Verified against your applicator manual before die-cutting. Visual unwind chart included with every proof.

All 8 industry positions supported

Maximum roll OD

Motor-Matched Diameter

Calculated to match motor torque and magazine capacity. Prevents web breaks and tension overload on high-speed lines.

Rated for 300+ BPM lines

Before production

Lock the roll specification before you approve artwork

Core size, unwind direction, and maximum roll diameter are production decisions—not afterthoughts. Use these technical guides to prepare the information your applicator, artwork, and purchasing teams need before a roll-label quote is finalized. Blank roll labels and wholesale repeat orders run on the same tooling — request blank, pre-printed, or hybrid rolls in one quote.

Choose the right format

Need a different label format for this project?

Roll labels are the right route for most applicator-driven programs. When application method, label shape, or container appearance changes the decision, compare the specific format below before you request a quote.

custom sheet labels

For hand application, short runs, or flexible SKU changes without an automatic applicator.

custom clear labels

For transparent containers or a no-label look where material appearance drives the choice.

High-speed canning line running custom roll labels without stoppages

USA Co-Packer · 300 BPM Canning Line · Stable Runs

High-tensile glassine liner reduced stoppages on a 300 BPM canning line

Situation

A 300 BPM canning line had liner snaps and unwind misfeeds, causing 15–20-minute stops.

Solution

We matched 30# glassine, unwind #3, core ID, and gap tolerance to the applicator, then validated test rolls.

Result

The trial ran more smoothly, with fewer liner-related interruptions and a 12% throughput improvement.

Fewer liner-related interruptions · throughput up 12% · repeat supply program

Pre-press audit

Five parameters verified before every production run

Our engineers audit these five machine-critical parameters against your applicator model — not after a failed production run.

  • Unwind direction (#1–#8)

    Verified against your applicator manual. Face-in or face-out. Visual unwind chart shipped with every proof.

  • Core ID (1″ or 3″)

    Industrial 3″ standard for automatic applicators. 1″ for desktop printers. Tolerance ±0.1mm.

  • Liner type & tensile rating

    High-tensile 30# industrial glassine rated for 300+ BPM automatic lines. Prevents liner snap under applicator tension.

  • Maximum roll OD

    Calculated to match motor torque and magazine capacity. Prevents web breaks on high-speed lines.

  • Gap tolerance (±0.2mm)

    Die-cut gap verified to ±0.2mm — tighter than industry ±0.5mm. Prevents skipped labels and double-feeds.

Client feedback

What production managers say after the first run

"Their technical audit of our unwind directions eliminated all machine downtime. Every roll fits our automatic applicator perfectly — zero jams, zero waste."

Joshua R.
Production Manager, USA

"We started at 500 units per SKU and scaled to flexo without a color shift. The glassine liner quality is noticeably better than our previous three suppliers."

Sarah M.
Brand Manager, UK

"Combo runs for 12 SKUs saved us from plate fees and dead inventory. Finally a factory that understands multi-SKU CPG economics."

Emily W.
Founder, Canada

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Unwind direction depends on your machine's feeder orientation (face-out vs. face-in) and which label edge leads first. There are eight standard industry positions (#1–#8). Share your applicator make and model — we verify against the manual and ship a visual unwind chart with your proof. Test rolls are available for line trials before full production.
3-inch cores are the industrial standard for automatic label applicators on bottling, canning, and packaging lines. 1-inch cores fit desktop printers and manual dispensers. We supply both with core ID tolerance of ±0.1mm. Specify your applicator model and we confirm the correct core size during pre-press audit.
500 labels via digital printing — ideal for pilot batches, new SKU launches, and seasonal programs. 5,000+ for flexo at lower per-unit cost. We transition you from digital to flexo as volumes grow — same color profile, same quality, because we run both in-house.
Our pre-press audit captures five parameters: unwind direction (#1–#8), core ID (1″ or 3″), liner type and tensile rating, maximum roll OD, and gap tolerance (±0.2mm) — all verified against your applicator model. We ship test rolls for line trials before full production. Most co-packers and brand owners run a trial batch first.
Yes. Digital combo-run printing allows multiple SKUs in a single production run while maintaining bulk pricing tiers. This is ideal for CPG brands managing flavor or scent proliferation without committing to plate fees or large per-SKU minimums on every variant.
We use reinforced export packaging: ECT-48 dual-wall corrugated cartons, heavy-duty plastic core plugs (5mm+), and corrugated cross-partitions. This prevents core deformation and adhesive oozing during sea freight vibration — a common failure mode with standard bubble-wrap packaging on dense roll shipments.
ISO 9001:2015 certified. All materials: FDA 21 CFR, EU 1935/2004, RoHS, REACH. Compliance documentation with every shipment. BPA-free and phthalate-free certs available on request.
