What size label can I apply on my pouch using the PL400 Pouch Labeler? (PL400)

In addition to the specifications listed in the manual, the label size that can be applied depends on the size of the bag/pouch it is being applied to.

The minimum distance the label can be applied from the top/leading edge of the bag/pouch is 0.75”.  This means that the label must 0.75" shorter than the bag to be applied entirely on the pouch.  If the label is taller than this, the label will hang off the edge of the bag. To be centered on the bag/pouch vertically, the bag/pouch must be 1.5” taller than the label.  See the graphic below.
