8. Are there standard measures on the dies?

No, but we have between 3000 and 4000 different dies to choose from, so we should have the one you need.

9. What is the difference between thermo labels and thermo transfer labels?

The difference is in the material. Thermo is a heat sensitive material which reacts to the heat from the printer head. When printing with Thermo transfer we use a colour ribbon(carbon ribbon) in the printer which transfer the print on to the substrate. With this method it is not the substrate itself that is heat sensitive.

11. What is the difference between straight and rounded edges on the label?

Rounded edges is the most common, and occurs when we use a die. Straight edges is made with a slit in the gap between the labels on the substrate. The most important difference is that labels on a roll with straight corners cannot be used in automated dispencers or printers.
