Direct answer: For laser labels, match label face size, sheet format, printer type, material, adhesive, and labels per case. Weather-resistant polyester labels are for laser printers, not inkjet printers.
Order #1005 showed that exact-spec procurement applies to labels too. A buyer may search for the size first, but the correct answer also depends on printer technology and material.
