Roll labels for labelling machines — right unwind, right core, right diameter, from the first roll
When a brand moves from hand-applied labels to an applicator, what changes is not just the quantity but the roll specification: the direction the label leaves the roll, the core size, the diameter the machine accepts, and the number of labels per roll. Mae Mae has produced roll labels for the packing lines of appliance, food and cosmetics manufacturers for more than 40 years — send us your machine model and we rewind to match.

Who this is for
Brands moving from sheets to rolls
we set the roll spec with you the first time and can produce a sample roll to test on your machine before the production run (a charge applies, by material and quantity)
Co-packers
many customers and SKUs in one digital job
Factories with high-speed lines
several digital lines running 24 hours for six- and seven-figure quantities, with controlled tension and consistency
Roll labels
Why our rolls run cleanly
Rewound to spec, not to habit. Every job order states unwind, core and count; die-cutting and rewinding work from that sheet. Inspected before dispatch. Print-inspection and AQL sampling to the level agreed with you catch missing labels, skew and splices before packing → Inspection process Same colour every lot. Colour values are measured and recorded per SKU, so the tenth reorder matches the first. Scale without changing factory. From the first roll to millions on the same digital lines, same roll spec, same colour standard.

FAQ
I don't know my machine's unwind direction.
Send a photo of the current roll or the machine model; we identify it and send a diagram to confirm before production.
Can I get a sample roll to test?
Yes; a charge applies depending on material and quantity — far cheaper than discovering a problem on the line.
How many labels per roll?
To your machine and requirement; we state it in the quotation.
Can one roll carry several designs?
Yes — for example several flavours in one roll in the sequence you need.
Which adhesive for frozen products?
A low-temperature adhesive that bonds on moist surfaces — see food and beverage labels.
