Volokitx supports OEM and private-label thermal label projects for qualified business orders.
Depending on the project, customization may include:
- Product dimensions
- Label material
- Adhesive
- Roll or fanfold format
- Core size
- Labels per roll
- Packaging configuration
- Printed packaging
- Brand artwork
- Private-label branding
The exact customization options, order requirements, pricing and production schedule depend on the confirmed project specification.
Thermal label OEM and private-label process
The process moves from initial requirements and specification review to sampling, production, quality control and repeat orders.
Step 1: Share your requirements
Provide as much project information as possible.
Important details include:
- Label size
- Roll or fanfold format
- Core size
- Labels per roll
- Rolls per carton
- Adhesive requirement
- Packaging requirement
- Brand artwork
- Expected quantity
- Delivery destination
Complete information helps reduce repeated specification questions and allows the quotation and sample process to move more efficiently.
If the product will be applied to a particular surface or used under specific temperature, moisture or storage conditions, include this information with the adhesive requirements.
Step 2: Specification review
The Volokitx team reviews the project requirements and determines whether an existing specification can be used or whether customization is required.
At this stage, the following details may be confirmed:
- Label material
- Adhesive
- Label dimensions
- Roll or fanfold format
- Core size
- Labels per roll
- Packing quantity
- Outer carton
- Product or packaging printing
- Private-label requirements
The specification should be clear before quotation and sampling begin. Unconfirmed dimensions, packaging quantities or artwork requirements may affect later pricing and production planning.
Step 3: Quotation
After the specification is confirmed, pricing can be prepared based on:
- Product specification
- Order quantity
- Packaging configuration
- Printing requirements
- Custom materials
- Private-label requirements
- Shipping destination
- Delivery requirements
A change in quantity, material, packaging or artwork may require the quotation to be updated.
Step 4: Pre-production sample
A pre-production sample may be required for customized projects.
The sample allows the buyer to review:
- Product dimensions
- Label material
- Adhesive
- Core size
- Printing
- Color
- Packaging
- Branding
- Overall appearance
The sample should represent the specification intended for production as closely as possible.
If the project includes printed cartons, private-label packaging or branded label materials, the artwork and color requirements should be reviewed together with the physical product.
Step 5: Sample approval
Production begins only after the agreed sample or final specification has been approved.
Before approval, check:
- Product dimensions
- Roll or fanfold configuration
- Core dimensions
- Material
- Adhesive performance
- Printing position
- Printing quality
- Color
- Packaging arrangement
- Brand appearance
Any changes requested after approval may affect production cost, sample requirements or lead time.
Approval information should be recorded clearly so the confirmed sample or specification can be used as the production reference.
Step 6: Production
Production follows the approved specification.
The production schedule depends on factors such as:
- Order quantity
- Product dimensions
- Material requirements
- Printing requirements
- Packaging complexity
- Private-label requirements
- Production capacity
Customized production should not begin from an unapproved draft, incomplete artwork file or unconfirmed packaging specification.
Step 7: Quality control
Quality checks may include:
- Label dimensions
- Labels per roll
- Roll quantity
- Core size
- Roll winding
- Print position
- Print quality
- Adhesive performance
- Packaging configuration
- Carton quantity
- Product appearance
The applicable checks depend on the approved product and packaging specification.
For printed or private-label projects, quality control may also compare the finished product with the approved artwork, color reference and sample.
Step 8: Packaging and shipping
After inspection, the products are packed according to the approved configuration.
Packaging requirements may include:
- Labels per roll
- Rolls per inner pack
- Rolls per carton
- Fanfold labels per stack
- Stacks per carton
- Carton dimensions
- Carton markings
- Private-label packaging
- Pallet configuration
Shipping options can be evaluated according to:
- Delivery destination
- Order quantity
- Shipment volume
- Required delivery time
- Warehouse receiving requirements
The final shipping arrangement should be based on the confirmed packed quantity and carton information.
Step 9: Repeat orders
For recurring orders, the approved product specification can be used as the reference standard for future production.
A repeat-order reference may include:
- Product dimensions
- Material
- Adhesive
- Core size
- Label quantity
- Packaging configuration
- Printing files
- Approved color
- Carton configuration
If the packaging, quantity, artwork or product specification changes, the updated requirements should be reviewed and approved before production.
Using a confirmed reference specification can simplify repeat orders and help maintain consistency between production batches.
