Roll Labels in 4 Categories: Sequential Numbering/Divider/With Lamination/Without Lamination + 4-Step Selection Guide + 3 Application Types

4 major types of roll labels, each with distinct features: (1) Sequential number rolls—each label sequentially numbered (unique per piece, variable data), suitable for anti-counterfeiting + traceability (30% of scenarios); (2) Separated number rolls—each label independently numbered (shared by multiple SKUs), suitable for multi-SKU packaging (30% of scenarios); (3) Laminated rolls—surface film-laminated then rolled (waterproof + wear-resistant), suitable for outdoor/industrial use (25% of scenarios); (4) Non-laminated rolls—directly rolled (no lamination), suitable for daily-use/short-term (15% of scenarios). 3 selection tips: (1) choose sequential numbers for anti-counterfeiting; (2) choose separated numbers for multi-SKU; (3) choose laminated for waterproof; (4) choose non-laminated for daily use. 3 key types: sequential number + separated number + laminated + non-laminated.

3 differences: (1) Form—roll labels are continuous rolls (1000-10000 pcs/roll), single labels are individual sheets (loose); (2) Printing—roll labels use flexographic/digital roll-to-roll (high efficiency), single labels use offset/digital sheet-fed (flexible); (3) Application—roll labels suit automatic labeling lines (high production efficiency), single labels suit manual labeling (flexible). 3 application scenarios: (1) Roll labels—automatic production line labeling (beverages/cosmetics/food); (2) Single labels—small batch/customized/manual labeling; (3) Hybrid—partial rolls + partial singles (multi-SKU). 3 selection tips: (1) 10,000+ pcs/month choose rolls (low cost); (2) <5000 pcs/month choose singles (flexible); (3) multi-SKU small batches choose singles (print on demand). 3 suggestions: first check monthly volume + then choose form + finally choose process.

4-step specification selection process: (1) Define usage scenario (automatic labeling/manual labeling); (2) Choose roll type (sequential number/separated number/laminated/non-laminated); (3) Choose specifications (core diameter 76mm/50mm + total length 100-1000m + quantity 1000-10000); (4) Choose specific parameters (material + adhesive + printing + die-cutting). 3 core specification dimensions: (1) Width (40-200mm)—determines label size; (2) Roll length (100-1000m)—determines pieces per roll; (3) Core (76mm/50mm/25mm)—determines labeling machine compatibility. 3 typical specifications: (1) 76mm core + 200m length + 5000 pcs/roll (most common 80%); (2) 25mm core + 100m length + 1000 pcs/roll (small batch); (3) 50mm core + 500m length + 10000 pcs/roll (large batch). 3 suggestions: first check labeling machine + then choose specifications + finally choose material.

5-step printing process: (1) Design—AI auto-layout (maximum material utilization); (2) Plate-making—flexographic plate (cylindrical, continuous printing); (3) Printing—roll-to-roll (50-200m per minute); (4) Surface treatment—lamination/UV/hot stamping (as needed); (5) Die-cutting + rewinding—cut sheets + wind up. 3 printing methods: (1) Flexographic (roll mainstream 70%)—high speed + large volume + low cost; (2) Digital roll-to-roll (25%)—small batch + personalization; (3) Hybrid (5%)—traditional + digital combination. 3 process details: (1) Flexographic—plate fee 500-2000 yuan/plate + printing 0.05-0.1 yuan/pc; (2) Digital roll-to-roll—no plate fee + 0.1-0.3 yuan/pc; (3) Hybrid—choose as needed. 3 typical applications: (1) Food & beverage—flexographic (large volume + low cost); (2) Cosmetics—digital roll-to-roll (personalization + small batch); (3) Industrial products—flexographic (large volume + wear-resistant).

3 labeling methods: (1) Automatic labeling machine—production line integrated (high speed + consistent); (2) Semi-automatic labeling—manual assisted (medium efficiency); (3) Manual labeling—manual (low efficiency). 3 types of roll labeling machines: (1) High-speed labeling machine—5000+ pcs/hour (beverages/food); (2) Medium-speed labeling machine—1000-3000 pcs/hour (cosmetics/daily chemicals); (3) Low-speed labeling machine—<1000 pcs/hour (small batch). 3 selection tips: (1) Large production—high-speed labeling machine (100,000-500,000); (2) Medium production—medium-speed labeling machine (10,000-100,000); (3) Small batch production—manual labeling (<10,000). 3 core specifications: (1) Core diameter 76mm (most common)—compatible with most labeling machines; (2) Core 25mm (small)—compatible with handheld labeling machines; (3) Label width—adjusted according to product + labeling head. 3 suggestions: first check monthly volume + then choose labeling machine + finally choose roll specifications.

3 cost components: (1) Roll material—coated paper 0.05-0.1 yuan/pc (basic) vs synthetic paper 0.2-0.4 yuan/pc; (2) Roll printing—flexographic 0.05-0.1 yuan/pc vs digital 0.1-0.3 yuan/pc; (3) Roll die-cutting—0.02-0.05 yuan/pc (roll-to-roll + rewinding); (4) Roll plate fee—flexographic plate 500-2000 yuan/plate (one-time). 3 cost tiers: (1) Small batch (1000 pcs)—0.2-0.3 yuan/pc; (2) Medium batch (10,000 pcs)—0.1-0.2 yuan/pc; (3) Large batch (100,000+ pcs)—0.05-0.1 yuan/pc. 3 cost-saving methods: (1) Large batch (-50% per piece); (2) Universal material (-20%); (3) Shared plate (-30%). 3 typical scenarios: (1) Food & beverage (0.05-0.1 yuan/pc); (2) Cosmetics (0.1-0.3 yuan/pc); (3) Industrial products (0.1-0.2 yuan/pc).
