roll labels custom

Shortest inquiry list for roll labels custom work. Open specification choices still block a comparable quote. Confirm those choices before treating an alternative construction as a drop-in.

What still blocks a comparable quote

A custom roll request often arrives with width and a roll count. Factories then assume facestock, adhesive and rewind. Those assumptions do not match across plants. The missing fields below are the usual stop points. Fill them, or write "not decided" so each plant quotes the same undecided set instead of filling gaps privately.

If an alternative construction changes facestock or adhesive, treat it as a new line. Do not accept a substitution because the die line looks familiar.

Digital print versus flexographic printing is a cost-shape choice, not a quality slogan. Short SKU lists with artwork changes often keep plates off the table. Long stable runs often keep spot color on flexo. Ask for both only when run length is still open, and keep plates itemized. Food-contact or migration testing papers, if required, must name the lot. They are not earned by sending this form.

Checklist that must be closed or marked open

Name paper, PP film, PE film or vinyl. Add finish (uncoated, matte, gloss, clear) and any thermal-transfer topcoat. Thickness in mil or μm. Do not mix those units across replies.

Name the pressure sensitive adhesive class and the container or film it must hold. Cold-fill, freezer, removable and permanent are different lines. Surface energy on PE bottles is not the same as glass.

Width and repeat in mm, plus the die line file status. Rewind specification, core ID in mm and roll OD limit. An applicator that expects a 76 mm core will reject a 25 mm core even when the label size matches.

Quantity by artwork in pieces, rolls or cartons. Destination state or postal code and requested window. Required product documents. Optional budget with currency and unit or whole-order basis. Optional supplier preference is a buying note, not a rating.

Open inquiry options after the open fields are marked, then send the requirement.

Send the closed or marked-open list

The form uses the same backend fields as the dialog. Write undecided items as undecided so plants do not fill them privately.

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.
