If you're new to the supermarket labeling industry or looking for a change of pace with your scale label wholesaler, OnlineLabels.com now carries blank and stock roll labels available by the roll. From meat and fish counters to bakeries, our direct thermal scale printing labels are sure to meet your needs.

Labels for commercial scale printers tend to vary from brand to brand, which is why we offer a line of labels for many of the most popular scale manufacturers: Hobart®, Toledo®, and CAS®.

Scale Label By-The-Roll Benefits

Unlike other wholesale scale label providers, you can buy 1 roll of our scale labels or 100. There is no minimum roll or case quantity. Shop now.

Regardless of size, every company in the business of selling products by weight is legally required to use a legal-for-trade scale. Not only are these scales expensive, the labels they require come in large quantities/cases only. For independent and small-to-midsize retailers, it can be a heavy burden to upfront those costs. At OnlineLabels.com, we're offering you an opportunity to buy just what you need.

How Scale Label Printers Work

Weight scale printers use direct thermal printing technology to produce the content both cashiers and customers depend on. A thermal print-head applies heat to the surface of special, chemically treated labels.

This eliminates the need for ink, toner, or ribbons — fewer parts and pieces that need replacing or maintenance make for a faster process and more efficient operations. Instead, the only thing grocers need to stock are the direct thermal scale labels themselves.

Scale Label Material Features

All of our labels are for pressure sensitive applications. They are formulated to meet the specifications provided by each scale manufacturer in terms of size and print registration. The high-quality, paper-based facestock reduces the frequency of jamming as well as wear on the print-head.

Their adhesive is designed to stand up to the extreme temperatures of industrial freezers or home refrigerators/freezers, as well as contact with moisture.

Scale Label Stock Options

Our selection of bulk scale labels includes pre-printed stock options as well as blank labels. The pre-printed information ranges from packaged and sell by dates to net weight and price per pound, as well as safe handling instructions and space for barcodes.




From meat scales to industrial scales, our wholesale direct thermal labels are perfect for any application where printing scale labels is a must. To find the labels that work with your electronic scale, visit our scale labels page and use the tabs toward the top to browse by manufacturer.
