Price Gun Labels
26.12 (CT1) White Punch Hole Labels — Price Gun Labels

They provide a clean, high-contrast background for clear pricing, date coding, batch marking, or stock identification, helping you keep shelves, bins, and products consistently labelled across busy retail and stockroom environments.

26.12 (CT1) White Punch Hole Labels — Full Product Guide
Price gun labels remain one of the quickest ways to apply consistent, readable information to products in retail and light industrial settings. The 26.12 (CT1) White Punch Hole Labels are intended for users who want a straightforward, high-contrast label that works with compatible one-line hand labellers using the CT1-style punch hole format.
Whether you are pricing individual items on the shop floor, marking stock in a storeroom, or applying short codes for internal tracking, the goal is the same: labels should be easy to load, easy to apply, and easy to read. This guide explains how these labels are typically used, what to consider for compatibility, and how to get the best results in day-to-day operation.
How It Works
These labels are supplied on rolls for use in a compatible price gun/hand labeller. The gun advances the roll, prints the selected characters (such as a price or code), and applies the label in one motion. The punch hole label shape is a common format for one-line guns, helping the label feed and dispense reliably.
In practice, this means you can move quickly through pricing tasks with consistent placement and print, reducing the variability that comes with handwriting or manually applying separate stickers.
Compatibility and Choosing the Right Label
Hand labellers and price guns are typically designed around specific label formats. “CT1” is widely used as a shorthand for a punch hole label style used by many one-line guns, but naming conventions can vary between suppliers. Before ordering, it’s best to confirm:
- Your gun’s label series/type: Check the gun body, manual, or existing label box for the label type reference.
- Label shape: Punch hole labels have a distinctive cut-out; ensure your current labels match this style.
- Print line format: One-line guns typically use smaller labels than two-line guns.
If you are replacing an existing label roll, matching the current label type and shape is usually the simplest route.
Materials and Construction
These are paper-based price gun labels with a white face. The white surface is chosen for clarity and contrast, helping printed characters stand out. In everyday retail use, paper labels are a practical balance of cost and performance, especially where labels are applied to packaging, cartons, or product surfaces for short-to-medium term identification.
As with most price gun labels, performance depends on the surface you apply them to and the conditions they are exposed to (temperature, moisture, handling, and friction). For best results, apply to clean, dry surfaces and press firmly to ensure good contact.
Adhesion and Surface Considerations
Price gun labels are commonly used on a wide range of packaging and product surfaces. For reliable adhesion:
- Clean surface: Remove dust, oil, or condensation before application.
- Dry application: Moisture can reduce initial tack and long-term hold.
- Firm pressure: A brief, firm press improves contact and helps the adhesive bond.
If you routinely label challenging surfaces (very textured packaging, dusty sacks, or cold/frozen items), consider testing a small quantity first to confirm performance in your specific environment.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is a consumable label roll for hand labellers and does not have floor compatibility requirements.
Health and Safety
These labels are intended for general pricing and identification. When using a price gun:
- Keep fingers clear of the applicator area during use.
- Store rolls in a clean, dry place to maintain print and feed quality.
- Dispose of cores and packaging responsibly.
If labels are used in regulated environments (for example, where specific labelling rules apply), ensure your printed information and placement meet your internal compliance requirements.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Retail pricing:
Ideal for fast, consistent pricing on individual items, especially where frequent price changes or promotions occur.
Promotions and markdowns:
Useful for temporary pricing, clearance events, and short-term campaigns where speed matters.
Stock identification:
Apply short codes to cartons, bins, or packaged goods to support picking, replenishment, and inventory checks.
Date and batch marking (operational use):
Where used internally, one-line codes can support stock rotation and traceability processes.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
To keep your labeller working smoothly and your labels looking consistent:
- Store label rolls properly: Keep them away from heat, direct sunlight, and damp conditions.
- Keep the gun clean: Dust and adhesive residue can affect feed and print quality.
- Replace ink rollers as needed: Faded print is often a sign the ink roller needs changing.
- Load carefully: Follow your gun’s loading path to avoid misfeeds and wasted labels.
Case Study (Example Workflow)
A small convenience retailer receives mixed deliveries several times per week and needs to price a wide variety of items quickly. By keeping CT1-style white punch hole label rolls on hand, staff can:
- Load a roll at the start of a shift and price incoming items immediately.
- Apply consistent, readable pricing across different product categories.
- Run quick markdowns for short-dated stock without reprinting shelf-edge tickets.
The result is a faster pricing process and clearer presentation for customers, with minimal equipment and training.
