Benefits Of DYMO Colored Labels

By Laura Hamilton


In offices, there are many reasons to have labels for various projects. They are used so much that the entire industry developed a standard set of sizes that are included with most word processing software. The white label is the most used but is not always useful when you want something to be noticed. DYMO colored labels are available to use with the thermal printers.

Their printers are thermal based. This means the printer does not require ink, toner, or ribbons to print the information on the label. Instead, it uses heat to cause the specially treated label to show the image exactly as it is designed. The cost for these is minimal compared to the cost of toner and ink for printers. With their special software, you can put in the type of label you want to use, design it in their software or use a word processor and print them quickly.

The paper rolls are designed especially for the printers. They have a hole in between each one so the printer knows when one ends and the next begins. This saves frustration because the printer will automatically align them. Unlike sheetfed printers, you don't have to worry about losing a bunch to a misalignment in the printer. If you use the same type for most things, you can simply keep that roll in the printer and be assured a great print every time without having to go through special setup instructions each time.

The varying colors available can be used to categorize files and projects. Many offices and health clinics use different colors for specific indications. Perhaps one color is for dental patients, another for medical. One may be used for each different year. Retail product shippers can also use bright colors to indicate when something being shipped is breakable or not bendable. This will help shippers by easily noticing them to be sure and handle with care.

Some of the designs are water and weatherproof. They print the same but are made from a material designed to resist damage if the package is left on the doorstep or outside where it might be rained or snowed on. This helps protect the integrity of the label in rougher conditions.

A new type is the removable one. This is a great design for labels that need to be pulled and used again, such as in returning packages. You can also use them for printing invoices and packing lists that the customer may want to keep. Many will use them when they have products shipping from a warehouse.

The sizes are a great benefit. Offices have so many ways they need to clearly mark files and folders and packages. Having different sizes makes it easy to print what you want to fit on the various items. There are address label sizes for regular envelopes, shipping sizes, file folders, and even special shapes and sizes for other purposes. The way the printer is designed, switching the rolls is very easy.

There are labels everywhere. When you want one to stand out, choose the best color and print the information so it will be noticed. Protect your delicate packages with bright notices so the delivery staff will see it. Quick and easy printing makes it worth it.
