The label, as the Ozhegov dictionary says, is a label on something with a trade mark or a trade mark. However, today the label is an integral part of the packaging, which carries information and advertising functions. Therefore, the requirements for labels today are increased. A colorful and informative label will not allow the buyer to pass by the product.
Instructions
Step 1
You can print a label in two ways: using the services of a printing house and on your own. The printing method is beneficial when there is a large enterprise, and the order of labels goes into the "wholesale" category. Then artists, designers, linguists work on the creation of labels.
Step 2
Usually, the label contains information about the product in Russian, the composition of the product (product), its properties, material of manufacture, country of origin, weight or volume of the product (product), storage conditions and expiration date.
Step 3
However, it is more convenient for small and medium-sized businesses to print labels themselves. This is especially true for those enterprises that produce (manufacture) products themselves, because the labels of their goods must constantly change: it is necessary to change the production time, shelf life, etc. Thermal transformer printers are used for self-printing of labels.
Step 4
In thermal transfer printers, the image on the label occurs when the thermal elements of the print head are heated. In order to print the label yourself, you must buy a thermal or thermal transfer printer.
Also buy self-adhesive thermal paper (usually sold in rolls).
Step 5
Connect the thermal transfer printer to your computer using a USB cable. Design (draw) the label you need using special programs in the computer.
Step 6
Insert thermal paper into thermal transfer printer. Print a designed label.
