Winding direction
Finding the right winding direction
- Internal winding
- External winding
- Bottom edge leading
- Top edge leading
- Left edge leading
- Right edge leading
If you want to apply your self-adhesive labels on rolls using a labeling machine, it’s important to know which winding direction you need.
There are basically two winding directions for your self-adhesive labels on rolls:
- Internal winding
- External winding
The printed side can therefore face inwards or outwards.

It’s also important to distinguish between the positions of the labels on the roll. There are four variants:
- Bottom edge leading
- Top edge leading
- Left edge leading
- Right edge leading
