Yes, one of the key advantages of digital printing is the ability to produce multiple label varieties within a single print run—provided they share the same shape, dimensions, finish, and material. This makes it a highly cost-effective solution for producing a range of designs or product variants.
To specify the number of versions to be included in one run, simply enter the desired number into our Online Calculator.
No problem — you can easily generate multiple quotations by entering different job specifications each time. Our online calculator is designed with ease of use in mind, making it simple to compare options and find the best solution for your needs.
Labels - General Information
Self-adhesive labels on rolls—commonly known as roll labels—are labels that come with a pre-applied adhesive. They can be easily applied by simply peeling them from the backing and sticking them onto the desired surface, either manually or using a labelling machine.
At Prime Labels, we produce labels on rolls because they offer flexibility and ease of handling during both processing and application, particularly in packing or bottling lines. In addition to their practicality, roll labels can be finished in a variety of ways, making them not only functional but also visually striking.
Further processing
Of course. In the second step of the ordering process, you have the option to define the winding direction of your label rolls. You can choose from the following options.
This is entirely up to you. If you have a preferred number of labels per roll, simply let us know — you can also enter this information directly when placing your order using our online calculator.
If you’re applying your labels with a machine and require a specific maximum roll diameter, this can also be specified during the ordering process to ensure compatibility with your equipment.
Yes, you can print using a thermal transfer printer on our gloss or matt white paper, as well as on our matt white polypropylene (PP) and labels finished with a protective varnish.
When processing roll labels, a distinction is made between manual and mechanical application.
In manual processing, labels are applied to products by hand. In automated processing, labels are applied using a labelling machine. Depending on your method of application, there are a few important factors to consider when placing your order. To ensure smooth processing, it’s essential to specify the correct winding direction and roll core diameter during ordering.
This ensures fast production and seamless integration into your packaging or labelling process.
Our recommendation:
Apply the labels to clean, and if necessary, sterilised surfaces. If you are applying labels by hand, we recommend wearing gloves to avoid leaving invisible grease marks or fingerprints. Additionally, we suggest keeping the products at a stable temperature for at least 48 hours after labelling to prevent wrinkles or lifting. Please note that bubbles may form on uneven surfaces.
Label Materials, Stamping and Special Finishes
We print on a wide range of self-adhesive label stocks, including both paper and film substrates. To learn more about the paper types we offer, please refer to our material guide.
Roll labels with hot foil stamping are especially popular for standing out from the competition and attracting customers’ attention to your product. Labels with hot foil are often used in the wine, champagne, spirits or cosmetics industry, as well as on high-end foods.
The glossy finish and vibrant colours of stamping foils add an extra layer of quality and sophistication to your labels—whether used for text, logos, decorative elements, or edging around images. We create a custom stamping tool specifically for your label, giving you complete freedom in your design.
The foil is applied using heat during the finishing process to create a striking and durable effect. Thanks to decades of experience with wine labels, we’re able to apply hot foils in-house—ensuring your labels achieve a premium look while remaining cost-effective.
Our silver and gold hot foils are the most commonly used options, but we also offer a wide variety of other colours to suit your design needs. Looking for something highly specific? No problem! We work with premium hot foils, and if your desired foil isn’t currently in stock, we can source it quickly and use it for your print job.
Simply contact us if you’re looking for a particular hot foil – we’re happy to help!
Printing Process and Colours
Want to see exactly how your labels will look once produced? We’re happy to provide a colour proof for a small fee. This proof can also be used for accurate colour matching during the production process.
If you require a press proof, we’d be glad to discuss your needs and arrange it with you individually. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Standardised procedures—such as colour matching with previous runs—combined with state-of-the-art measurement techniques and rigorous quality control, ensure consistent quality throughout each production run. Our colour management system meets Process Standard Offset requirements, and we actively work to minimise colour variation by continually training our staff and investing in the latest technology.
If, despite these efforts, you are not completely satisfied with your labels, please don’t hesitate to contact us via the Contact Form or call our customer service team. We’re always happy to assist you.
Our standard production time is 5–10 working days from the moment your artwork is received and approved in our system. Once your print data is uploaded, we’ll provide you with a more accurate delivery date.
Delivery times can vary depending on the label type, any special finishes selected, and current production volumes. An estimated delivery date is always provided in both the online calculator and your personalised quotation.
We aim to be as flexible as possible and will always do our best to meet your specific requirements.
