Sheet labels vs roll labels - what's the difference?
Sheet labels can be printed in various sizes on an 8.5” x 11” sturdy liner which helps them keep flat for easy storage and ideal for hand application.
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 color. They're designed for peeling and placing with speed and are compatible with most label dispensers for even faster application.
