Internal vs External Rewinders

Internal rewinders can be an alternative to external rewinders. Industrial printers, equipped with this option are often limited to a 5-inch maximum diameter. Some models are capable of holding up to an 8-inch roll.

Internal rewinders may also be purchased as an installable option. They will however need to be installed by a professional technician. Certain models are able to be self-installed. Please call to learn more.

Internal Rewinders offer two versions of gathering complete printed rolls or using the printer as an individual label feeding system.

1. Complete labels rewound onto a 3" core for later application. Internal take-up spools will receive a 3-inch core in these printers.
2. Label liner can be gathered onto the Internal rewinder spool to gather onto and neatly thrown away. These printers are equipped with a Peeler that allows the labels to be separated from the liner and fed one-at-a-time.

Some printer models are capable of doing both. Contact a sales person for model numbers.

External Rewinders offer a unique alternative to Internal 0, including the ability to rewind label rolls 8-inch to 12-inch. One rewinder can be used with multiple printers, individually. The variable tension controls have a wide range of adjustments to match different label stock.
