Let me just say that I am eternally grateful to anyone who chimes in here.
If I wanted to print 1000 individual 12mm labels each being 7cm long what is the best way & cheapest way to do this? Labels do not need colour. They contain one or two words max and a small enough QR code to be read.
Right now I have a DYMO Label Maker that works with these label cartridges (12mm). I can get 1 Cartridge each (12mm x 7m) at $2.50 USD each. Each one at 7m length gives me about 100 Labels per cartridge. So in total 1000 individual labels printed would cost me $25
Are there anymore economical ways? Like industrial label makers that can connect to a PC, import a CSV full of label names and auto-prints them while also being at a lower cost than $25 per 1000?
Appreciate anyone who is willing to chime in here.
I’d say $25 per 1000 is a deal. I did a quick look at Staples to see what on earth you were talking about. A little desktop Dymo is somewhere around $200 but the labels in 13mm are $13 for 260. No idea if the software interfaced with a csv file.
Agreed, I am pretty happy with $25 per 1000, which is using label cartridges from aliexpress. However I just need to now find an automated maker that works with those and can interface with csv. I’ll look into the desktop Dymo just incase.
Thanks for the reply and if you have any other ideas on how to do this cheaper please let me know. I’d be open to investing but nothing over $5000.
Ideally 1000 a day, I could also buy more than one these printers if i had to do say 5000 a day (which is entirely possible). All 12mm labels like this.
$25 for a thousand stickers is a screaming deal. If you were to have these things printed commercially, you’d be looking at more than that just for the plate — before the press even got rolling.
