What is the Sheet Labels - What are sheet labels??

Pressure sensitive labels are produced in several finished forms Sheet labels are carried on a backing sheet that is cut to a standard or pre-specified size In the UK the most common size of sheet labels is A4 although they can also be produced to A5 A6 or bespoke sizes These labels are usually sold in packs or boxes of a set quantity packs of labels are usually available in smaller quantities such as 5 10 or 25 while boxes are used to hold bigger quantities and are commonly sold in reams of 500 sheets These labels are manufactured from a continuous laminate of pressure sensitive material that is then cut into singular sheets Sheet labels are most commonly used with standard desktop laser printers and inkjet printers At Label Planet all of our labels are supplied on A4 sheets

Tolerance - What is tolerance?

Definition of TOLERANCE:

The amount of deviation from a given specification that is considered acceptable in the manufacturing of items in order to meet a particular standard of quality. Any quantifiable measurement may be allowed a tolerance, such as the dimensions of an item or the number of items produced in a batch.

In labelling, tolerances will apply to all of the materials used to produce labels, as well as the dimensions of the labels, and the quantities they are produced in. For example, an A4 sheet of labels may have a tolerance of +/- 2mm for its height and width measurements and a tolerance of +/- 5% for its caliper, or a ream of labels (500 sheets) may have a tolerance of +/- 10 sheets for its total quantity.

A set of measuring tools sit on top of engineering drawings of various parts; all manufactured products are made to a tolerance, which is an allowable deviation from the given specifications under quality guidelines.
