Fan-Folded Labels - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What are fan-folded labels? Fan-folded labels are labels that are stacked in a concertina or zigzag formation, rather than being wound on a roll. They are connected by perforations that allow for easy tearing. This format allows for continuous feeding through compatible label printers.
- Example: Imagine a stack of paper folded like an accordion; each sheet is a label.
- What are the benefits of using fan-folded labels compared to roll labels? Fan-folded labels offer several advantages:
- Reduced Waste: They do not require a cardboard core, minimising waste.
- Higher Capacity: Boxes of fan-folded labels typically contain more labels than rolls of the same size, leading to fewer supply changes.
- Space Efficiency: The rectangular boxes of fan-folded labels can be easier to store and stack compared to cylindrical rolls.
- Improved Printer Uptime: Fewer label changes mean less downtime for your printing operations, especially in high-volume applications.
- Flat Output: Fan-folded labels lie flat after printing, preventing curling which can be an issue with roll labels. This is particularly beneficial for thicker materials like card tags.

- Shipping Labels: Printing address, tracking information, and barcodes.
- Inventory Management: Labelling shelves, products, and containers.
