40X46X700 Scale label

We offer a wide range of scale labels, generally used in butchery, bakery and fresh produce applications. We can manufacture blank and custom printed thermal scale labels of the highest quality using the best adhesives in various grades.

Key Details:

• Label Size: 40mm x 46mm (approximately 1.57 inches x 1.81 inches)
• Quantity: 700 labels per roll
• Type: Thermal labels, likely direct thermal or thermal transfer

Common Uses for Scale Labels:

Scale labels are typically used in environments like:

• Retail Weighing: In grocery stores, markets, or bulk food stores, where items like fruits, vegetables, or deli items are weighed and priced on the spot.
• Shipping Weighing: For use in warehouses or distribution centers where weights need to be labeled for shipping.
• Manufacturing or Production Lines: Used to label products with weight and batch information after weighing.

Key Considerations:

1. Printer Compatibility:

   • Direct Thermal Printers: These printers use heat to create prints on the label. These are commonly used for scale labels as they are quick and inexpensive. However, the print can fade over time with exposure to light or heat.
   • Thermal Transfer Printers: These printers use a ribbon to apply ink to the label, offering more durability and the ability to print in color or with higher resolution. These are ideal if the labels are meant to last longer and require detailed prints, like logos or fine text.

2. Label Material:

   • Paper Labels: Common for scale labels, as they are cost-effective and suitable for standard retail applications.
   • Synthetic Labels: If your labels will be exposed to moisture or rough handling, you may want synthetic materials like polypropylene or polyester, which are more durable and water-resistant.

3. Adhesive Type:

   • Permanent Adhesive: Ideal for long-lasting application. Common for scale labels, where you want the label to stay on the product during its lifecycle.
   • Removable Adhesive: If labels need to be removed or replaced regularly, such as in a deli or fresh produce section, removable adhesive may be useful.

4. Print Requirements:

   • Ensure that the printer resolution is adequate for clear text and barcode printing, especially if your labels will have detailed product or pricing information.
   • Scale labels often include barcodes, QR codes, weight, and pricing information, so ensure the label design accommodates all the necessary data clearly.

5. Roll Compatibility:

   • Ensure the roll diameter and core size match the specifications for your thermal printer. This is crucial for smooth printing without jams.
