Designed for Roll Label Printers Only
These 3 x 1 labels are supplied on rolls and are made for roll-fed label printers. They are not designed for standard 8.5" x 11" desktop sheet printers.
When printing roll labels, the label size is typically set inside your printer software, label design program, or printer driver. You simply enter the label dimensions, such as 2.5" x 5", and design within that print area.
- For roll label printers only
- Not for desktop sheet-fed inkjet printers
- Not for desktop sheet-fed laser printers
- No sheet-style template required
- Label size is entered in the roll printer software
No Template Needed for 2.5" x 5" Roll Labels
Roll labels work differently than sheet labels. With sheet labels, customers often need a Word, PDF, Illustrator, or Canva template because the labels must line up with a fixed sheet layout.
With roll labels, the printer software controls the label setup. You enter the label width and height, choose the correct media settings, and design one label at a time. Because of this, a downloadable sheet template is not required for 3 x 1roll labels.
Before Ordering 2.5" x 5" Roll Labels
Before purchasing roll labels, confirm that your printer can accept the roll specifications. Important measurements include label width, label height, core size, outside roll diameter, roll direction, and sensing method.
- Label size: 2.5" x 5"
- Printer type: Roll-fed label printers
- Core size: Check your printer requirements
- Outside diameter: Make sure the roll fits inside or behind your printer
- Sensor type: Confirm gap, black mark, or continuous sensing requirements
- Material: Choose based on indoor, outdoor, waterproof, or product packaging use
