Physical Characteristics of Label Printer

How you plan to make use of your labeling machine and the category of labels you require to print, will say the type of labeling machine. You'll need to get into consideration factors for example the quantity of labels to be printed, the size of the labels, and how the labels will be used.


Label volume: Machines are normally classified as low, medium or high volume machines. A low volume machine would be print up to about 100 labels per day. A medium volume would be in the range of 100 to 500 labels per day. A high volume would be over 500 labels per day.


Label size: Label materials are accessible in widths from 1/4" wide up to 10" wide. Though, there are no machines that can print labels over that range of widths. Label printers are obtainable that will create labels in a variety of widths. In general they can be divided by size into three groups.

  • Printers that create labels from 1/4" to 1" in width
  • Printers that create labels from 1/2" to 4" in width
  • Printers that create labels from 4" to 10" in width

If you want to make labels with a wide range of widths, for example 1/2" and 6" wide labels, there are two choices.


Option 1: You can obtain two labeling machines, one for the smaller labels and the other to create the larger labels.

Option 2: You can get one machine that has the capacity to produce smooth labels. A machine that prints 1/2" to 3" wide labels would work well. It could straightly print the smaller labels. The larger labels would be printed in two floorings which are connected together to make the 6" label.
