Printing and label stock is blank or pre-printed film, paper or other backing used for the display of printing, lithographing, embossing, hot stamping, stickers, seals, or other written, printed or graphic matter. Labels are used with many different printing processes and include stickers and seals. Examples of printing and label stock include printed tape, ribbons, paper labels, and label supplies. Printed tape is a cloth or paper tape designed for packaging or sealing purposes. Some printed tapes contain a company’s logo for identification or branding purposes. Ribbons are thin, flexible printing and label stock made of cloth, plastic, or metal. Paper labels are inexpensive and easy-to-use, but less durable than other products. Pre-printed film may contain a protective layer that can resist water or weathering. Stickers adhere to containers such as boxes, bags, or bins. Label supplies also include label printers, label inks, color ribbons, and label software.
