What Are Labels?

• The label is the cloth, paper or metal that is
  affixed to a product or container on which is
  printed or written symbols or information about
  the item. Information that is printed on an
  article or container directly is also considered
  as labelling. Labels offer a wealth of
  information such as the manufacturer, products
  origin, disposal, self-storage, and use. They can
  be used for advertising, providing warning
  instructions, environmental advice, information
  etc.

Why Are Label Rolls Preferred to the Cut-to-Size
Labels?

• Labelling in Bulk Quantities For labelling
  products in bulk, labels roll is better as
  products with these rolls can be labelled faster.
  Labelling machines are available that require
  these rolls making labelling faster compared to
  done by hand.
• Easy Storage Another advantage of using the roll
  labels is that they can be stored easily. They
  are available rolled around tubes making their
  storage easy. There is no unwanted risk of folds
  or tears as these labels rest on the ribbon
  neatly until they need to be unfolded for use. As
  they are available in rolls, they occupy less
  storage space as well.

What are the Different Types of Labels?

• Paper Labels Paperboards and papers are used for
  making labels.
• Latex Labels Such labels have a lithographic
  stock along with added latex that permits the
  labels to be flexible and stick around curved
  objects better than paper.
• Direct Thermal Labels These types of labels
  would change colour when heated. The direct
  thermal labels can be customized easily on
  location. The disadvantage of these labels is
  that they can be ruined easily by another heat
  source.
• Thermal Transfer Labels These labels are used
  where the direct thermal labels cannot be used.
  The thermal transfer labels last longer and do
  not fade with heat or time. For printing these
  labels thermal transfer ribbons are required.
  DYMO labels make use of thermal transfer
  printing tapes.

What are the Uses of Labels?

• Products These are the retail labels that are
  used on products for identification and offer a
  lot of information related to the product such as
  ingredients on food product or environmental
  information on the label on a refrigerator. DYMO
  labels are good for labelling DVDs, CDs, medical
  equipment, etc. 
• Packaging These are the retail labels that carry
  the barcodes, pricing, usage guidance, unique
  identification number, recipes, advertising,
  addresses etc. They are also used for indicating
  pilferage or tampering. 
• Mailing The shipping/freight labels are affixed
  on the containers for specifying the contents
  within them. The shipping/freight labels are used
  by the mail carriers and include special handling
  needs or routine barcodes. 
• Photographs For producing high-resolution prints
  on graphic design or photographs the inkjet
  labels are a good option. The inkjet labels make
  use of inkjet printers for producing a
  high-quality print.
