Laser Labels

How to choose a laser label

Start with the space you print on. Measure the area for the address, barcode or part number, then pick the closest size in the tables above.

• Return addresses, file folders and small part IDs: 3/4 x 1/2 to 2 5/8 x 1. A case holds 3,000 to 22,400 labels.
• Carton, bin and shelf labels: 4 x 1 to 4 x 3 1/3. A case holds 600 to 2,000 labels.
• Shipping labels and packing lists: 4 x 6, half sheets at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and full sheets at 8 1/2 x 11 or 8 1/2 x 14. A case holds 100 to 400 labels.

Labels per sheet

The tables count labels per case. These listings also state how many labels sit on one sheet.

Material and adhesive

• White, permanent: the everyday label for addresses, cartons and files. Listings marked 48 lb state a 48 lb face sheet.
• White, removable: the listings state these labels lift cleanly and leave no residue. Use them on totes, shelf locations and dated stock you plan to relabel.
• Clear and crystal clear: clear labels with a matte finish, and crystal clear polyester. Use them where the surface underneath should show through.
• Weather-resistant polyester: tear-resistant polyester with permanent acrylic adhesive. The listings state the ink will not bleed. Use it where paper labels tear in handling.
• Opaque white blockout: covers old shipping labels and barcodes so boxes and mailers can be reused.
• Fluorescent and pastel colors: green, orange, pink, red, yellow, blue and pastel blue for color coding by zone, shift, date or priority. Removable fluorescent labels come in 2 5/8 x 1, 4 x 2, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and 8 1/2 x 11 and are in the product list above.
• Glossy white, gold foil and silver foil: for product labels and seals that need a finished face.

Laser or inkjet

The printer line on each product page lists the printers that label is made for. Most white, fluorescent and removable listings name both laser and inkjet printers. Clear, glossy, foil and blockout listings name laser printers.

Print one page on plain paper first and hold it behind a label sheet to check the alignment.

Buying by the case

Every price in the tables is for one case. Orders of 3 or more cases qualify for 3% off, and orders of 6 or more cases for 5% off. Sizes and colors can be mixed.

Orders of one or two items get free ground shipping in the US at $99 or more when the checkout shipping charge is $29.95 or less. Orders of one or two items with a product subtotal of $500 or more ship free when the checkout freight rate is $120 or less. Orders of three or more items get the volume discount instead of free shipping. Checkout shows the discount and the shipping cost for your address before you pay. Details are in the shipping policy.

Several white sizes also come in a master case with ten times the labels of the standard case at a lower price per label, such as 2 5/8 x 1 at 30,000 labels, 4 x 2 at 10,000 and 8 1/2 x 11 at 1,000. They are in the product list above.

For pallet quantities, recurring orders or a mixed order with freight priced for the whole shipment, request a bulk quote.
