If you’re searching for reliable, affordable, and perfectly engineered custom thermal transfer labels, Star Tag & Label is your go-to partner. With over 28 years of experience in selling both thermal labels and printers, we understand how to optimize your label performance without inflating your costs.
From industrial printers to desktop models, we create custom labels tailored to your specs and hardware—while still offering some of the most competitive prices in the market.
Your Labels, Your Way — Built for Thermal Transfer Printing
Designing the right thermal transfer label requires more than size and adhesive. At Star Tag & Label, we ask the critical questions up front—because every detail affects cost, performance, and reliability.
We manufacture both thermal transfer labels, which require a ribbon to print, and direct thermal labels, which do not require a ribbon.
Label Specs We Custom-Engineer:
- Size & Dimensions
- Material: Poly, paper, synthetic, tag stock
- Coated or Uncoated
- Adhesive Type: Permanent, removable, freezer, etc.
- Roll Format: Rolls, fanfold, or continuous
- Shape: Rounded or square corners, perforated or not
- Gap, Notched, or Reflective Mark
- Roll OD & Core Size
- Color Printing, Pre-Printing, or Blank
- Liner Width & Substrate Type

We build for your printer, your workflow, and your operating environment.

Even if your model isn’t listed, we can build to spec—including RFID-enabled units, 300/600 DPI resolutions, and high-speed applicators.
Application-Based Engineering
Where and how your label is applied matters just as much as the printer you use. That’s why we ask:
- Are they hand-applied or machine-applied?
- What are you labeling—cardboard, plastic, glass, or metal?
- How long does the label need to last?
- Does it need to survive moisture, freezing, UV, or chemicals?
We take the guesswork out—engineering labels that perform perfectly, whether for one day or five years.
Die Charges? Only If Needed
Many competitors charge for custom dies—whether you need them or not. We maintain a large library of pre-existing dies. If we already have your size, there’s no extra charge. If you do need a new one, we often waive the cost based on order quantity.
Why Star Tag & Label Beats the Big Guys
Star Tag & Label offers a combination of experience, flexibility, and value that many major competitors simply can’t match. With over 28 years in the industry, we bring deep knowledge of both labels and thermal printers—something larger suppliers don’t always offer. Our engineering-first approach ensures labels are built right for your application, not just quickly filled. Unlike major players, we frequently waive custom die charges for volume orders and provide personalized service instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. We also support rush jobs and low-volume orders—something that’s often unavailable with larger suppliers. Most importantly, we consistently deliver unbeatable pricing on custom work without sacrificing quality.
Get Labels That Work as Hard as You Do
Whether you’re labeling shipments, products, warehouse inventory, or medical packaging, Star Tag & Label delivers precision and flexibility that scale with your operation.
High-volume runs are no problem. Short runs and small batches are welcome. If you’re scaling monthly throughput or watching the budget, you’ll still get accurate, reliable, and cost-effective label solutions.
