Specification desk with facestock swatches and a rewind diagram, not a factory floor claim

Blank Roll Labels Sourcing

This desk is an independent sourcing partner for printed pressure sensitive labels. It does not convert rolls, hold converter appointments or operate a US print counter. The work is to make factory replies comparable and to keep plates, freight and documents visible.

How the desk reads a brief

A buyer usually arrives with a size and a target roll count. That is not yet a specification basis. We ask for facestock, pressure sensitive adhesive, finish, die line, rewind specification and core ID before any plant is copied. If those fields are missing, two replies will look close on price and still describe different webs.

A roll quote that omits rewind specification and core ID is not comparable to one that states both, even when width and repeat match.

We do not publish a founding year, a plant count or a customer roster. Those figures are not in the site record. What we can state is the sequence: read the brief, send the same line items, collect exclusions, and return the set without adding a site discount percentage. ISO ICS 55.020 supplies unit language. Public packaging quote pages supply a brief-first process reference. Neither source is this desk's factory list.

Working rules

Same line items

Each plant restates size, adhesive, rewind and quantity unit in the same words.

Extras stay visible

Dies, plates, proofs and freight stay outside the piece or roll price.

Files stay with lots

Migration testing or food-contact papers name a material lot, not this website.

Proof path before a price is treated as firm

Color and adhesive behavior sit on the named facestock. A PDF on office paper is a communication aid. A press proof on the quoted web is a different cost line. Buyers choose which step they will pay for; this desk does not substitute one for the other in the comparison table.

Pack-out sketch with roll OD, pallet height and carton count fields

Destination pack-out is part of the brief

Receiving docks limit roll OD and pallet height. Those limits change carton count and freight. They do not change the goods specification, so they must be written beside it rather than buried in a delivered-price slogan.

Questions about role and sequence can go through the form on this page or the contact page.

Send a brief to start matching

Use the same fields as the inquiry dialog. Optional budget and preference are buying notes, not verified factory grades.

Write facestock, adhesive, size, die line, rewind and core; quantity by artwork and unit (pieces, rolls or cartons); intended fill or use; print, proof and sample needs; destination and requested window; required product documents. Optional target budget with currency and unit or whole-order basis; optional supplier preference (high-end, mid-range, budget or undecided). Artwork files can be sent after we reply; this form has no upload field.
