Price Gun Labels
26.12 W/E ‘U’ Orange “SATO” Labels (Price Gun Labels) — Overview
These 26.12 W/E ‘U’ Orange “SATO” labels are replacement price gun labels designed for use with compatible SATO hand labellers. They provide a clear, high-contrast orange background that helps prices, dates, codes, or short messages stand out on retail packaging and products. Supplied on rolls for fast loading and consistent dispensing, they’re a practical choice for busy shop floors, stock rooms, and goods-in areas where speed and legibility matter.
Because this is a configurable product listing with multiple pack quantities, the information below focuses on the label type and typical performance rather than a single pack size.

26.12 W/E ‘U’ Orange “SATO” Labels — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right price gun label is mainly about compatibility, visibility, and how the label will be used day-to-day. The 26.12 W/E ‘U’ Orange “SATO” labels are intended for users who want a compact label format with a standout colour, supplied in roll form for use in compatible SATO hand labellers.
How It Works
Price gun labels are supplied on a roll and loaded into a compatible hand labeller (often called a price gun). As the trigger is squeezed, the gun advances the roll, prints (if the gun is an inked/printing model), and dispenses the next label for application. The label format and edge/style designation are important because the gun’s feed path and sensor/advance mechanism rely on consistent label geometry.
Once applied, the label provides a clear surface for the printed price or code. The orange colour helps the information stand out, which can be useful for promotions, special pricing, or quick visual sorting.
Materials and Construction
This product is listed as a SATO label type in an orange face stock, supplied as price gun labels. While the listing does not specify adhesive grade or paper/film composition, price gun labels of this type are typically designed for reliable feeding and clean dispensing from the roll. If you need a specific adhesive performance (e.g., removable vs permanent) or a particular face material, it’s best to confirm requirements before ordering.
Compatibility and Fit (Most Important)
The listing identifies these as “SATO” labels in a 26.12 W/E ‘U’ format. In practice, that means they are intended for SATO-compatible hand labellers that accept this label size/format. Because different guns use different label shapes and core/roll configurations, always match:
- Label format (26.12)
- Style designation (W/E ‘U’)
- Your gun’s required label roll type
If you’re replacing an existing roll, the simplest check is to match the code/description on your current label box or the label itself.
Print and Readability
The orange background is designed to improve visibility. For best readability:
- Use clear, high-contrast print (typically black) where possible
- Keep characters sized appropriately for the compact 26.12 format
- Avoid overloading the label with too many digits or symbols
If you’re using the labels for promotions or markdowns, the colour can also help staff and customers quickly identify special pricing.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
These labels are well suited to environments where speed and consistency matter:
- Retail: everyday pricing, promotional pricing, markdowns
- Warehousing: short pick codes, location identifiers, sorting references
- Food & hospitality (non-direct food contact): back-of-house coding on outer packaging
- General trade counters: quick price marking on small items
Health and Safety
Use labels as intended and keep rolls away from heat sources and direct sunlight to help maintain label condition. If labels are used in regulated environments (e.g., food handling areas), ensure they are applied to appropriate outer packaging and follow your site’s hygiene and compliance procedures.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
To keep your labeller working smoothly and reduce misfeeds:
- Store label rolls in a clean, dry place
- Keep the gun’s feed path free of dust and adhesive residue
- Replace ink rollers (if applicable) when print becomes faint
- Load rolls carefully to avoid creasing or telescoping
If you notice inconsistent advancing or skewed application, check that the label format matches your gun and that the roll is seated correctly.
Floor Type Compatibility
Not applicable — this is a consumable labelling product used with handheld labellers rather than a floor covering or surface protection item.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
Scenario: A convenience retailer runs weekly promotions and needs a fast way to mark promotional prices on selected lines.
Approach: Staff load orange 26.12 W/E ‘U’ labels into compatible SATO price guns and apply promotional prices during quiet periods. The orange labels make promotional items easy to spot during shelf replenishment and help reduce missed markdowns at the till.
Outcome: Faster repricing, clearer shelf presentation, and improved consistency across multiple aisles.
Who Is It For?
- Retailers using compatible SATO hand labellers
- Stock teams needing quick, consistent short-code labelling
