As the year wraps up (finally! ), it’s time to address some of those burning questions you’ve been holding onto about 4x 6 labels and other labeling essentials.
1. What are 4” x 6” labels commonly used for?
These labels are ideal for shipping packages, barcode scanning, product labels, and even DIY crafts. Basically, if it needs sticking, these labels deliver.
2. Are thermal labels different from regular labels?
Thermal labels are specially designed for use with thermal printers, which use heat instead of ink. No smudges, no mess—just crisp, clear prints every time. Plus, they’re eco-friendlier because you’re ditching ink cartridges.
At 4x6Labels, we stock both direct thermal and thermal transfer labels, so you can pick what suits your business best.
3. Can I use 4” x 6” labels in any printer?
Well, not quite. These labels are best paired with thermal printers like Zebra or Dymo models. Regular printers won’t cut it because they aren’t designed to handle the heat-based printing process.
4. Do labels come with different adhesives?
Absolutely. From ultra-sticky permanent adhesives to removable options, there’s a label for every surface and scenario. Shipping boxes? Go permanent. Temporary file organization? Try removable. And for the ultimate stick, weatherproof adhesive labels are your MVP.
5. Are pre-printed labels better than custom labels?
Pre-printed labels are quick and easy for repetitive tasks like handling fragile items or marking “Return to Sender.” Custom labels, on the other hand, let you flex your brand personality with logos, designs, or specific details.
We’ve got options for both at 4x6Labels, so you can mix and match as needed.
6. Are thermal labels waterproof?
Direct thermal labels generally aren’t waterproof, but thermal transfer labels can hold their own in humid or wet conditions. For high-moisture environments, we recommend weatherproof thermal labels.
7. How do I choose the right label size?
This depends on your needs. Shipping? 4 x 6 is the gold standard. Smaller products or file tags? Consider 2 x 3 or 3 x 4 labels. Measure twice, label once.
8. Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes! We love helping businesses save while stocking up. Our bulk deals on 4” x 6” labels and other sizes ensure you get the best value. Reach out to us for a custom quote.
