- Quantity: 500 labels per roll
- Type: Shelf edge thermal labels (likely direct thermal )
Common Uses for Shelf Edge Labels:
Shelf edge labels are designed to fit along the edges of retail shelves and are used in various settings, such as:
- Price Tags: Displaying product prices clearly.
- Product Identification: Providing product names, SKU numbers, or barcodes.
- Promotional Labels: Showing discounts, promotions, or special offers.
- Inventory Labels: Used in warehouses or stores to track stock.
- Barcodes/QR Codes: For scanning purposes in retail or warehouse systems.
- Category Identification: Identifying product categories (e.g., “Dairy,” “Beverages,” “Snacks”).
Key Considerations for Shelf Edge Labels:
-
Printer Compatibility:
- Direct Thermal Printers: These printers print by applying heat to a special paper, usually resulting in black text or barcodes. They are simple and don’t require ink ribbons, but the print may fade over time when exposed to light or heat.
- Thermal Transfer Printers: These printers use ribbons to transfer ink onto the label, allowing for more durable prints. They’re ideal for longer-lasting, high-quality prints, including colored or high-resolution barcodes.
-
Label Material:
- Paper Labels: Standard paper labels are the most common and suitable for general retail use.
- Synthetic Labels: If your environment involves moisture, chemicals, or high abrasion (like for outdoor use), synthetic labels made from materials like polyester or polypropylene are more durable.
-
Adhesive Type:
- Permanent Adhesive: Commonly used for shelf labels since they need to stay attached to the shelf edge for extended periods.
- Removable Adhesive: If you plan to update or replace the labels frequently, removable adhesive might be ideal.
-
Label Design:
- Font Size and Clarity: Ensure that the text is large enough to be visible from a distance, and barcodes are scannable.
- Custom Printing: If you need to include a logo, specific product details, or promotional information, ensure your printer can handle custom designs or logos in high resolution.
-
Roll Dimensions:
- Make sure the roll diameter and core size of the label roll fit your printer’s requirements. Shelf edge labels usually come in rolls that fit typical thermal printers used in retail and warehouses.
Additional Considerations:
- Print Resolution: Ensure that your printer has the required resolution (usually around 203 DPI or 300 DPI for clear text and barcodes).
- Label Orientation: Shelf edge labels are typically printed with the longer side horizontal, which is something to consider when setting up your printer for printing.
Thermal labels use heat to create an image. Each roll consists of 500 labels.
