Best Labels

These labels are amazing. The quality is superior to all others I’ve used. I really enjoy the ability to use the auto cut to have ability to customize the lengths of my labels. I place them on my freeze dried food bags which conforms to the creases in the packaging. The adhesive is strong and doesn’t peel up on the corners.

Fits My Business Needs

I upgraded from a small thermal printer to the Epson ColorWorks C4000u. I could not be more satisfied by this printer. I went from using 3 different sized labels to just one size. I use the BOPP labels continuous roll and let the printer cut to my specific sizes needed. The quality is amazing, the sticker labels are superior to what is used prior and this cuts my time of labelling at least by 3/4ths. Great printer for small and large businesses. I highly recommend this printer. I do not see the need or any other printer for my needs for foreseeable future. You just need to find a program to build your labels which can be found online.
