Choose the Right Thermal Label
Match Size and Core
Check your printer label width first. 4x6 is the standard for shipping. Then check the core. Desktop printers use a 1-inch core. Industrial printers use a 3-inch core. Many CognitiveTPG labels use a 1.5-inch core.
3 Questions Before You Buy

Need the right labels for your printer?
Match three things: width, core size, and direct thermal vs thermal transfer. 4x6 with a 1-inch core is the usual shipping pack.
