There are many styles of dies available to manufacture labels, depending on how they will be used and applied. Label types we offer at Western States include:

Die-Cut Labels - The most common style of cutting labels, die-cuts can be virtually any shape and are usually supplied on a roll.

Die-Cut Pin-Fed Labels - Are die-cut labels with the addition of pinfeed holes cut into the liner for use with a dot matrix printer.

Butt Cut Labels - Are rectangular shaped, square corner labels separated from each other by a single straight blade cut. There are no gaps or extra liner around the label.

Sheeted - These are rectangular shaped, square corner labels that appear on individual sheets. A top or back score is added to "crack and peel" the liner from the label.

Finished Labels
The most common forms are:
Rolls - Labels finished spooled or rolled on a core. Common types of rolled labels include product labels and shipping labels.

Sheeted - Are individual single-sheet labels usually containing a back or top score. Bumper stickers are an example of sheeted labels.

Fan-folded - Die-cut labels are folded back and forth along the liner perforation, creating a stack. Most computer pinfeed labels are fan-folded.
