Supplying printed labels
I have another question, apologies in advance as I seem to be asking questions and never solving anyone elses problems.
Here goes:
I have been asked to supply some labels on a roll approx 4" width, I will be using an edge to produce this work.
The length of each roll will be about 25m, is there a machine you can buy which will wind these on, how do you slit them?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I have been supplying these in sheet format up until now.
Thanks

I would print 3 across by however many slit between the rows with a knife wind them onto a core (cut down the carboard tube the vinyl comes on) then join each row with tape. Its not ideal but some customers do insist on rolls rather than sheets.

Volume?
If there are enough of them, a label specialist will produce them on dedicated machinery cheaper than you ever can. They’ll be better and more professionally presented as well, no joining with tape for instance.
If this is the case, let them get on with it, take the extra profit and spend your time doing something else.

Thanks for all the advice, felt I had to run the work for my client as he uses me for quite a lot of things and he wanted it quite quickly, although next time I will use a label specialist, tied my machine up for two days!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never mind live and learn

Sorry, no, ended up running them off myself on the edge, not that cost effective although there are quite a few label specialists about depends what you want and the quantities you need.
