What are 4×8 fanfold thermal labels?
Fanfold thermal labels in the size of 4 inches wide and 8 inches long are adhesive thermal labels that are pre-made in a zig-zag configuration of fanfold format. They come in the form of a continuous set, and the labels are stacked together instead of being rolled up. They are ready to be fed into any compatible thermal printer. This allows for easier printer setup, saves on label waste, and optimizes high-volume printing operations. Fanfold format eliminates rolling bottlenecks, allowing for faster, uninterrupted printing. This is especially important for warehouses and shipping operations that process high volume shipments.
Why choose 4×8 fanfold thermal labels?
- Perfect for bulk printing If your company ships dozens or hundreds of packages on a daily basis, the 4×8 fanfold thermal labels enable you to load up a bunch at once instead of continually unloading different rolls of label stock. A stack of fanfold label sheets also allows for a greater number of label sheets to be loaded than a single roll, allowing you to run longer bouts of labels without interruption while you print.
- Fanfold labels are ideal for some printers and for some working areas – Fanfold label sheets work best with label printers designed for stack feeding; in addition, in warehouse areas that are cramped or where workers are heavily involved in packing and packing-related activities, fanfold label sheets tend to be much easier to handle than large rolls of label stock due to there being no tangles, no label waste, and no labels getting stuck to one another.
- Fanfold thermal labels have consistently printed high-quality thermal materials, providing crisp clear barcodes, logos, handling instructions, and shipping addresses to ensure that labels will reliably scan by couriers and efficiently process through warehouses, eliminating delays and loss of parcels.
- Fanfold thermal labels are an economical choice and eco-friendly; being tightly stacked, fanfold thermal labels take up much less space on a pack, providing significantly less packaging than roll spools would provide and eliminating the wasted materials, reducing the costs associated with purchasing a larger quantity of fanfold thermal labels; this is especially important to businesses operating in the high-volume shipping and distribution industry.
These are the top 5 applications for our customers that utilize our 4×8 fanfold thermal labels:
- Courier/Postal Packages – The size “4 x 8” is a very common shipping label size, therefore many courier companies use this label size for their standard box shipments.
- eCommerce Order Fulfilment – When you are fulfilling multiple orders at once, printing multiple shipping labels on a single sheet is convenient. This will save time when printing multiple shipping labels in one order, especially if you are fulfilling dozens or hundreds of orders.
- Warehouse and Logistics Operations – This will also work well for creating batch labels and pallet labels for their inventory.
- Retail Stock Management – Retailers can label large boxes, containers, and bulk shipments when they receive them into their stores.
- Return Labels – Many eCommerce companies will send return labels with their orders. The fanfold format of the label allows for easy pre-printing of return labels in bulk before they are sent to their customers.
Tips for Using 4×8 Fanfold Thermal Labels
- Choose a Thermal Printer That Works with this Media Size – You can use almost any direct thermal printer on most desktop (mid) printers that can accommodate 4 inches wide, but check to make sure that your printer’s model supports fanfold configuration and has the proper method for loading and feeding labels.
- Proper Label Fanning – To prevent jams, you should fan your labels in the same direction as the printer and keep the edges as straight and as close to each other as possible when stacking the labels.
- Keep Labels in a Cool, Dry Place – Due to the sensitivity of thermal labels to humidity and heat, it is important that they be kept in their original container until they are ready for use in order to maintain the adhesive bond and printing quality.
- First, Do a Test Run – Before printing larger quantities or changing the size of a batch, you should do a small test print of the labels to ensure that barcode scanning and readability are satisfactory.
