Understanding the Label Slitting Tolerance Factor in planning for label size
While the die shape of a label may be fixed and invariable; its position on the web will vary:
The label manufacturer should be able to advise of the slitting tolerance of the web they can achieve; this can often be +/- 0.5 or 1.0 mm
These slitting tolerances lead to label position tolerance as the label head that dispenses the labels is fixed in its position during labeling. In the case of labeling from the side; labeling slitting variation leads to height placement variation.
This is one of 4 Major Contributors to overall Tolerances that need to be considered when determining the label size
1.0 Bottle/Product Tolerance
2.0 Label Slitting Tolerance
3.0 Operator Setting Tolerance
4.0 Machine Application Tolerance
