Continuous and Die Cut Options for Your Color Label Printer

When printing labels with your color label printer, it’s essential to select the right type of label roll and ensure it’s compatible with your printer. There are two main types of label rolls: continuous and die cut.

Continuous Label Rolls

Continuous label rolls allow you to print labels of varying lengths according to your product requirements. For example, if you’re using a 4″ x 100 ft continuous roll, you can print labels with dimensions such as 4″ x 1″, 4″ x 2″, or 4″ x 6″. These labels will typically have square corners. The printer’s built-in cutter will trim the label to the desired length, providing flexibility and customization.

Die Cut Label Rolls

Die cut labels are pre-cut using a custom plate to create the desired shape, often featuring rounded corners rather than square ones. The advantage of die cut labels is that they’re easier to apply, thanks to their precise shape and smooth edges. Die cut labels come in various sizes, catering to different labeling needs.
