  • Allow approximately $5.00 per 10,000 labels for shipping.

Stock Types

The choice of sheet or roll stock does not affect price, although it does impact minimum order size.

  • Sheet stock and roll stock labels are priced the same on a per label basis. Do not mix an order. Only one type of stock per order.
  • Sheet stock is 11.75 X 8.0 inches.
  • The minimum order for sheet stock is 3,000 labels. Any order quantity for sheet stock above 3,000 is acceptable.
  • Format 5700 on sheet stock, is in landscape format with six labels across by 12 labels down, or 72 per sheet.
  • Format 5600 on sheet stock prints with 48 labels per sheet.
  • Format 5700 is produced in rolls of a thousand labels. Format 5600 is produced in rolls of five hundred labels.
  • Format 5700 labels requested on roll stock must be ordered in multiples of 42,000 labels (for example: 42,000; 84,000; 126,000). This is a requirement because the printing process actually prints a roll 42 labels wide, which is then slit into 42 rolls of a single label width.
  • All Roll Format labels must be ordered in multiples of 27,000 labels (for example: 27,000; 54,000; 81,000).

Custom Labels

Custom labels are also available in Codabar, Code 39 and Code 128. Options include adding art such as an image of the library building, or logo and colored paper or printing. Author / Title / Call number information can also be accommodated on "smart labels". Naturally, customization requires a custom quote, and in some cases, the library will have to supply a sample data file.

Prices per piece for new formats/layouts will not change as long as the overall label size stays the same. However there is a one-time $250 setup charge for custom design/art/layout.
