What is unwind?
For labels finished on a roll, unwind is the direction the label faces as well as the orientation of the label in relation to how they unroll. This direction is represented as a number during the ordering and production process.
To avoid applying your labels upside down or sideways reference the list below:
Unwind numbers 1 through 4 unroll on the outside of the roll
Unwind numbers 5 through 8 unroll on the inside of the roll
1 and 5- the top of the label unwinds first from the roll
2 and 6- the bottom of the label unwinds first from the roll
3 and 7- the right edge of the label unwinds first from the roll
4 and 8- the left edge of the label unwinds first from the roll
To determine the unwind direction that you require, check the unwind direction of your applicator.
