Labels on reels vs labels on A4/A4+ sheets

Roll labels vs labels on A4/A4+ sheets: which one to choose?

At etichetta.it you can choose to produce your labels on reels or sheets. Both solutions offer specific advantages and suit different needs. Here we explain when it pays to choose one or the other.

The main differences

1. Methods of application.

The first major difference is in how the labels are applied after production. Adhesive labels on a reel are ideal for mechanical application, and you can configure the technical specifications according to the needs of your labeling machine, such as:

• Direction of unwinding
• Spindle diameter
• Roll diameter or number of labels per roll

Adhesive sheet labels, on the other hand, are not suitable for automated application and are perfect for manual application.

2. Print run

Another aspect to consider is the number of labels to be produced:

• Roll labels are more suitable for medium to long runs.
• Sheet labels are ideal for short runs.

3. Available materials and finishes

Both solutions are customizable in shape, size, and graphics, but there are some differences in the materials and finishes available:

• For roll labels, you can choose from over 15 different materials on our online calculator. In addition, you can apply special finishes such as hot stamping (embossed foil).
• For sheet labels, the range of materials is more limited and special finishes and ennoblements cannot be applied.

The best choice always depends on the specific needs of your order! Whichever option you choose, you’ll always find the perfect solution for your project at etichetta.it.
And if you have any doubts, our customer service team is always at your disposal.
