Choosing labels and ribbons

Our media specialists may ask the following questions to help you choose the correct label or ribbon for your application:

  • What will the labels be used for?

  • Will the print need to be scratch or smear resistant?

  • What temperature will the labels be exposed to? (High heat? Freezing?)

  • To what surface is the label going to be applied to? What are the characteristics of this surface? (Moist? Curved? Smooth?)

  • Is the label going to be used in an outside or inside environment?

  • Will this label be in contact with any chemical solution?

  • Does your application require UL/CSA approval?

How many rolls of ribbon do you need?

  1. Add your label height and the label gap (normally .125").

  2. Multiply total height (#1) and total # of labels.

  3. Divide that amount by the ribbon length in inches.


How many labels will a roll of ribbon print?

Divide ribbon length by the total label height (height + gap.

For example, here is how to calculate how many labels you can print with a 300 meter length ribbon:

Ribbon length = 300 meters x 3.281 (to convert to feet) x 12 (to convert to inches) = 11,812 inches.

Divide 11,812 inches by the label repeat length (label height in inches + .125� gap). This will give you the total possible throughput of printed labels.
