MACHINE APPLIED LABELS 4. High Capacity Spooler 3. Core Information 2. Draw/Repeat 1. Copy Position The copy position (or unwind) signifies which direction the copy comes off the roll; positions 5 through 8 are wound in. Please note horizontal vs. vertical. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 When ordering machine applied labels, here’s what you need to know: Cores are available in two standard sizes, 1" and 3" in diameter. Cores must be flush with the edge of the roll. Please note the core size and the maximum outside diameter (OD) of the roll when ordering. Additional core sizes are available for an additional charge. Outside Diameter The outside diameter is important for fitting the roll on the labeling machine. s ne. r Core Have us spool your labels to cut down on machine stops and restarts to change over new rolls of labels. We can splice together label rolls to create one large roll of non-stop label application. Would you rather have four rolls of 15,000 labels which have to be changed at the completion of each run, or one continuous roll of 60,000 labels? This is what society would call a "no-brainer." If you need this service, give us a call! 1 3 2 4 The draw, or repeat, refers to the distance from the top edge of one label to the top edge of the next label. The length of the label plus the gap equals the repeat. Length + Gap = Draw / Repeat Short Draw Example: 1" x 1/2" Label 1/2" Length + 1/8" Gap = 5/8" Draw / Repeat Represents Inner Cardboard Core 1" Length + 1/8" Gap = 11/8" Draw / Repeat Long Draw Example: 1/2" x 1"Label Questions to ask to ensure the right label for the right application 1. What is the label being applied to? Different surfaces may require specific stocks and/or adhesives. 2. What will the label be exposed to? A label’s environment like water, solvents, abrasives, and temperature can influence its performance so varnishes or laminations may be needed. 3. What is the size? 4. What is the quantity needed? 5. What is the material and ink color(s)? 6. Will the label be hand or machine applied? Core size, rewind direction, roll outside diameter, number of labels per roll, etc. 7. Any special shipping or packaging requirements? Drop ship, shrink wrap, quantity per box, outer box labels 65
