High-Volume Shipping Label Printing

Fewer roll changes and fewer stoppages at the dispatch bench.

Every roll change is a stop: reload, re-register, discard the leader, restart. On a line running continuously the time is dispersed across the shift rather than showing as one outage, which is exactly why it goes unmeasured.

Multiply labels per shift by seconds per changeover and the number is usually larger than anyone assumed. Doubling labels per roll halves it, every shift, for as long as the operation runs.

Features

  • Large diameter rolls on 3 inch cores for longer runs
  • Direct thermal stock, so no ribbon to change as well
  • Print speeds matched to the printer rather than the label

Benefits

  • Roll changeovers roughly halve on a full shift
  • Less material discarded at the start of each run
  • Dispatch keeps pace during peak periods

How it works

The order matters. Each step removes a decision that would otherwise be made by guesswork further down the line.

  1. Confirm the largest core and outer diameter the printer accepts

  2. Move to direct thermal where label life allows, removing the ribbon

  3. Match wind direction to the applicator to avoid reloading twice

  4. Set a standing reorder so stock never runs out mid-peak
