Pre-set labels: the standard lettering

Do you have labels with standard lettering? This is a question that we have heard from more than a customer looking to make the right purchase and customisation choice for our labels for price labellers.

Custom labels, as you know, are extremely important for many different types of companies and sectors. For example, small shop which need to apply the exact prices on the individual products for sale, thus using a price labeller daily on all the pre-packaged goods.

Not to mention manufacturers who, after packaging the products, are required to indicate the expiry date, or maybe the packaging date as well, of that precise product with their price labeller.

That’s not all: custom labels to be applied with a classic hand labeller can be valuable even within factories and warehouses, to apply production codes or other valuable information for the correct sorting of goods.

In short, labels can serve different purposes, and it is for this reason that it is essential to have a high level of customization ability. However, we don’t always talk about customization at the moment of application.

The typical price label is completely empty (white or yellow) and is printed entirely at the time of application of the price with a price labeller; many other times, however, it is necessary to use pre-printed labels, with rolls of adhesive labels that already contains certain lettering or “still” images.

Custom reels of labels

When we talk about reels of labels meant for price labellers, we are not talking about just any adhesive. They are adhesive supports designed and made specifically to be customized and applied with hand labellers, which can be seen as a smart and complex evolution of tape applicators used in warehouses to seal boxes and packages.

Inside the price labeller there are different mechanisms: some are dedicated to the unrolling and the application of the adhesive, which is then automatically detached from the liner; others are dedicated to the instant printing of the letters and numbers indicated by the operator.

We have already discussed in the past, inside our magazine, how it is possible to customize these labels thanks to price labellers, being able to count on devices which can write from one to four lines of alphanumeric symbols, easily customizable thanks to the special rollers.

Those looking for pre-set labels, with standard lettering, however, refer to the reels of labels which already have, at the time of purchase, precise prints.

Do you stock labels with standard lettering?

Let’s get to the main question: do we stock labels with standard lettering? The answer is yes, but it must also be noted that there really are no standard labels used in manual price labellers. This is because the use cases of those adhesives, as we have explored, are many and varies, so much so as not to allow the setting of a real standard model.

However, there are standard settings. Think of labels with the words “Best preferably before” or “Best before” and so on.

But it is up to the individual company to choose how to make the most of their personalized label, creating their “own” standard model which will then be customized from time to time with lettering printed by the hand labeller.

So, let’s consider the size and shape of the label, which can be rectangular, square or with rounded sides, like classic price labels.

It is then possible to vary the background colours, moving between white, green, yellow, blue, violet, and so on, with a solid colour or with coloured stripes.

But that’s not all: you can order the printing of personalized labels with your own logo printed on top, with the name in letters of your company, or with precise lettering based on what the use of those labels will b (such as the word “lot”).
