The 6 Best Label Rewinders

This wiki has been updated 26 times since it was first published in November of 2018. Sometimes it's the smallest things that can be frustrating in your work day, like gathering up all the labels you've printed and storing them compactly. But you aren't stuck doing this repetitive task when you have a label rewinder, which neatly places your tags onto a roll for easier storage and dispensing. Here, you'll find models for all budgets that function with various sizes and printers. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Tach-It Re-Winder

The Tach-It Re-Winder (around $450) helps you make short work of any job you can throw at it, especially since it's offered in two sizes, with the larger providing bidirectionality, to boot. For hassle-free operation, each features a dancer arm and a variable speed motor.

Quick-release guides
Consistent and durable
No special tools needed

2. Take-a-Label Table Top

Crafted from sturdy steel and aluminum, the Take-a-Label Table Top (around $395) is designed to work with 3-inch cores and nearly any printer you can think of, although there are a few exceptions. And if it's your first time with one of these machines, no worries, as it's easy to use.

Made in the usa
No assembly required
Powder-coated finish

3. US Solid Automatic

Perhaps the biggest advantage the US Solid Automatic (about $240) offers over others of its kind is its adjustable holder, which can accommodate cores measuring between 1 and 4 inches or work without any paper tube at all. Not only that, but the speed can be altered if needed.

Good price for the features
Guide produces even edges
Stops automatically

4. BestEquip Adjustable

You can look, but you probably won't find a model that costs much less than this BestEquip Adjustable (appx. $139). And although it's on the inexpensive side, it's still got plenty of functionality, including a counter and a 4.5-inch maximum label width.

Portable as it's not too heavy
Speed is changeable
Power cord may require adapter

5. Start International Wide

For all of your bigger labels that other machines can't seem to accommodate, check out the Start International Wide (appx. $495), a bidirectional option that can handle those up to 7 inches in width and with an outside roll diameter of 9 inches.

Choose between slow and fast feed
Smaller version available
On the pricier side

6. Labelmate Mini-Cat

The Labelmate Mini-Cat (about $394) may not be all that exciting to look at, but what it lacks in flash, it makes up for in usability thanks to an industrial-grade construction that won't let you down as well as excellent torque control, with seven speeds.

Up to 100 inches per second
No trouble to operate
Good for coreless rolls
