Hand held applicators do repetitive labeling in a fraction of the time it takes to do it by hand. All applicators accept a maximum roll diameter of 3.93" with an inner core of 1". Labels can be between .78" and 2.36" long and the maximum width of the label can vary from 1.2" to 3.9" depending on the model used.

The required accessory if labels need to be rewound for later application. The GLR rewinders are extremely versatile and are compatible with all thermal printers. They rewind labels at speeds up to 24" per second and the electronic speed control automatically synchronizes winding speed to the speed of the sprinter. Labels can be wound face "in" or face "out". The GLR-5p handles label widths of 1"-4" with a maximum roll diameter of 9"", while the GLR-100 handles label widths of 1' to 9" with a maximum roll diameter of 12".
