Roll Configuration & Application
Core Size: All custom roll labels come on a standard 3" core.
Total Quantity vs. Rolls: The quantity you select at checkout is the total number of individual labels, not the number of rolls.
Minimum Order: The minimum order quantity for custom roll labels is 50 labels.
Designs Per Roll: We can only print one design per roll. We do not offer the ability to print multiple different designs onto a single continuous roll.
Labels Per Roll & Diameter: The exact number of labels per roll varies based on label size and order quantity. Our system optimizes this automatically to keep the roll's outer diameter under 8", ensuring it fits standard dispensers.
Custom Labels Per Roll: If you need a specific number of labels on each roll (e.g., exactly 500 per roll), please write this request in the Special Instructions box at checkout. This may require an additional cost, and we will contact you after the order is placed if one applies.
Application Method (Hand vs. Machine):
Hand-Applied: If you are peeling and applying the labels yourself, select "Hand Applied" on the product page.
Machine-Applied: If a machine will be applying your labels, select "Machine Applied" on the product page. This allows you to choose the exact print orientation (unwind direction) of your design so it feeds correctly into your machinery.
