Sheet labels vs roll labels - what's the difference?
Custom sheet labels are printed in various shapes and sizes on a 216 mm x 279 mm sturdy liner which helps them keep flat for easy storage and ideal for hand application.
Custom roll labels are labels made on a continuous liner and wound around a cardboard spool. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be printed in full colour. They're designed for peeling and placing with speed and are compatible with most label dispensers for even faster application.
