Pinfeed Labels

Pinfeed labels, also known as continuous labels or tractor feed labels, are a type of label material that comes in a continuous roll with perforated edges and holes on either side of the label. These labels are designed to be used with pin-fed printers that use tractor-like mechanisms to pull the label stock through the printer.

Pinfeed labels are commonly used in industries that require high-volume printing of labels, such as manufacturing, logistics, and distribution. They are popular in applications such as barcoding, shipping labels, and product identification.

Pros and Cons of Pinfeed Labels

The benefits of pinfeed labels include their ability to handle high volume printing without the need for reloading and their compatibility with pin-fed printers, which can provide high-speed, precise printing. The perforated edges of pinfeed labels also make them easy to tear off and apply, and the holes on either side of the label ensure accurate alignment during printing.

However, there are also some drawbacks to pinfeed labels. They can be more expensive than other types of label materials, and they may not be compatible with all types of printers. Additionally, the perforations on the edges of the labels can create waste, as unused portions of the label may need to be discarded after printing.

Overall, pinfeed labels are a popular choice for high-volume label printing applications in various industries. Their benefits and drawbacks should be carefully considered before deciding whether they are the right label material for a particular application.
