Frequently Asked Questions
At the top of each product page, the minimum order quantity is displayed. Orders must meet the minimum quantity shown for that specific product.
If you are considering a ribbon that you have never used before, Labelmatch strongly recommends testing the ribbon prior to placing a larger order. Please request a sample and verify compatibility with your printer and application before purchasing production quantities.
The choice between resin and wax-resin ribbon depends primarily on durability requirements and the label material being printed. Generally, higher durability requirements call for a higher resin content. However, some resin ribbons may not bond well to certain substrates.
Labelmatch recommends testing both options and performing durability testing. Simple tests can include rubbing with a finger, using a pencil eraser, or applying common cleaning products such as Windex. For more comprehensive testing, contact a Labelmatch business consultant. We can arrange testing of your label material and recommend suitable ribbon formulations through our testing lab.
Most ribbons ship from distribution locations in Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. Typical transit times are:
- Midwest: 1–2 business days
- Plains States and West Coast: 3–4 business days
Actual delivery times may vary based on carrier service levels and destination. Note that some ribbons are stocked on the West Coast. Consult a Labelmatch business consultant if you have questions.
If a "Get a Free Sample" button is available on the product page, samples are available and can be requested directly. If there is no sample request option, the manufacturer generally does not offer samples for that particular product.
When compatibility data is available, Labelmatch displays compatible printer makes and models on the product page. If you are unsure whether a ribbon is compatible with your printer, contact a Labelmatch business consultant by phone, email, or live chat for assistance.

Our Testimonials

Thank you, and thank you for always going above and beyond, sincerely appreciate it.
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for your continual support of our operations here.
I was ordering these labels through a warehouse supplier and his price went up. I turned to the internet and found Labelmatch.com and ordered the exact labels at a large savings. We should have done this sooner. So glad to find a great supplier and ships on-time every time. Quality product and we order other sizes of labels too.
We have applied some of the labels on what racking has been released to us and have actually started using them with our system. Everything is working great! I appreciate your help and support.
Jon was fantastic and I hope the free sample will work for our needs. Great customer service, Jon! Thank you!
I've had a positive, professional experience with Jon and have felt at each step in the process like getting our job done correctly was his priority.
Thank You Matt! We’re happy with the service Labelmatch give to our DC’s!
As usual, thanks for great customer service.
I am very happy with the service you and Label Match provided.
Thank you again for all your help you made it easy.
I will definitely use you again for future projects.
