Shipping Label Roll - 4" x 6" Self-Adhesive Labels

A label is one of those items that seem like it has a million and one uses. There are the obvious ones, like shipping labels, but also organization labels, filing labels, scale labels, name tags, and more. And, just as with paper and printers, there are a few different types of labels that serve very distinct functions. Sheet labels and roll labels, for example, differ in functionality and are typically used for entirely different purposes.

Whether you’re printing in bulk or just a few at a time, these 4" x 6" Shipping Label Roll can help you get organized and keep track of your shipments. These self-adhesive labels fit on most standard desktop label printers, and they feature a 1" core for easy tearing. They're compatible with most e-commerce, shipping and inventory management systems and software programs including Paypal, ShipStation, Shopify, Etsy, DHL, UPS, FedEx, and more.

The rolls are made in the USA with direct thermal printing, which eliminates the need for ink and produces crisp, clear labels that are easily readable by Postal scanners. They’re water- and smudge-resistant and have built-in use-by dates to ensure they last long enough for your shipments to reach their destination on time. The labels adhere well to a variety of surfaces and have great resistance to alcohol, grease, and water.

If you’re printing your own shipping labels, you’ll want to decide if you need rolls or sheets. Generally, if you’re only printing a few identical labels at a time, sheet labels are the way to go. They’re convenient to print and can be reloaded easily if needed. However, if you’re printing a lot of unique labels at once or need to stick them onto high-volume boxes, rolls may be the best option.

While there are a few exceptions, most label printers will only print either sheet labels or roll labels. A dedicated label printer has the ability to create both, depending on your needs. It’s also important to consider the type of label applicator you plan on using, as some require a specific core size. For instance, a high-speed label applicator will require a larger diameter core, whereas most home and office printers require a smaller core. The smaller the core, the more labels it can hold. The most common size for roll labels is a 1" core, which can be found in most label printers on the market. You can also find fanfold labels, which do not require a core and are more cost-effective. These are often used by home and office printers to print labels, as they’re easier to peel and don’t come out curled. They are usually more durable than roll labels, as they can withstand rough handling and extreme temperatures. However, they are not recommended for use outdoors as they can fade in the sun. They should be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use.
