The Unwind Direction is simply the direction in which a label unwinds from a roll.
Please download our Roll Label Templates. The bleed and safety line measurements are different to other products so we highly recommend using them. Total bleed is 0.125″ out from the cut line and total safety is 0.125″ inside the cut line. Please ensure that the size of your artwork is the same size as the roll label that you are ordering and that it includes the correct amount of bleed. If your uploaded artwork is smaller than the required size it will not print correctly.
With Clear Labels, you have the option to use white ink as your base color so your prints can be opaque in some areas and transparent in others.
Similar to Spot UV masks, White Mask files are separate from your artwork files and Black color indicates where the white ink will print.
Make sure to create your mask file the same size as your color art file. This will prevent alignment issues during printing.
Note: White Masks must be made in vector form as shapes and be saved as EPS or PDF.
Use vector paths/shapes to create black color areas that will indicate where the white ink base will go. The rest of the area will represent the Transparent label stock.
Here is a sample of a printed clear label with white ink. First how the artwork and white mask files look like, then a printed piece from these files:
Black in the white mask file indicates where white ink will be printed. Remember the following when creating a white mask for your white ink base:
- White ink base will be printed behind any color that’s in your Artwork Layer.
- Areas with color but without a White Mask will be printed with color directly on the material. This means Clear stock will have transparent color.
- Areas with color and a White Mask will be printed as opaque or solid color.
- Areas with a White Mask and no color will be printed as white.
Our Roll Labels are suitable for use with food products only when an intervening layer of FDA approved food contact material is used. It is the responsibility of our customers or the end-user to ensure that use of the products conform to the relevant FDA regulations.
All square and rectangle shapes come with industry standard 1/8 inch rounded corners for easy removal from the liner.

When any CMYK colors overlap the white mask areas, we recommend adding a stroke that’s between 1 and 2 pixels larger than the underlying white elements.
It is your responsibility to ensure your files are prepared correctly. We will print the files as is that you have uploaded. We are not responsible for any mistakes made by not following file specifications.
