Custom Roll Labels Built for Machine Labeling
Order custom-printed roll labels from experienced Chinese factories. 500 to 100,000+ labels per run on 1-inch, 2-inch, or 3-inch cores. BOPP, PET, paper, kraft, vinyl, and estate materials — with permanent, removable, freezer-safe, and oil-resistant adhesives. Rewind direction and outer diameter matched to your label applicator.
Roll labels are printed labels wound on a cardboard core, designed for machine applicators and high-volume hand application. They are the most cost-effective label format for production runs of 500 or more. Roll labels support automatic dispensing, tight tolerances, and repeat orders — making them the standard choice for product brands, contract fillers, and wholesalers.
