Label Rewinder Label Rewinder Try this site https://www.adazonusa.com/barcode-ribbons.html for more information on Barcode Ribbon. When choosing your Label Rewinder you need to recognize if you will always be rewinding onto a 3" core, a 1" core, or any dimension in between. The reason is that the most typical is a 3" core, yet if you obtain a rewinder that is established for this, you will just have the ability to do 3" cores.
