Many people buy a high-speed label printer - but don't give any thought to what happens when the printer spits out ten inches of labels per second, for ten minutes. That's 150m of labels to deal with. A batch of a few thousand labels can mean half an hour of mind numbing label rolling. I know I've done it myself. What's the solution? Label Rewinders are machines that take printed labels straight from the printer and automatically re-reel them for you. You feed through a metre or two, attach it to the rewinder and start the printer printing. After half an hour you return to find a neat roll of labels ready to be used.
This is what a label rewinder looks like.
