Question

Is Unwind Direction and Rewind Direction the same thing?

Answer

Yes, unwind direction and rewind direction describe the same thing. Both terms refer to the direction in which a label comes off the roll as it unwinds.

  • The term describes how the label is oriented as it leaves the roll
  • It matters most for automatic or machine application
  • Hand application is far more forgiving of direction
  • Match the direction to your applicator or dispenser
