# Choosing your label stock: sheets, rolls and continuous feed

### Sheets (laser / inkjet)

**Sheet** stock is a page of peel-off labels (for example Avery or Online Labels). You print a full page (or part of a page) on a standard laser or inkjet printer.

Best when:

- You already buy brand-name sheets
- You print small batches on an office printer
- You need exact alignment to a published template

Use **Sheets and rolls** in Label Wizard to find a matching template, or create a [custom sheet template](/en/article/custom-label-template-2lk1u3/).

### Rolls (thermal)

**Roll** labels feed through a thermal label printer (Zebra, Rollo, DYMO-style devices, and similar). Labels usually come one-wide on the roll.

Best when:

- You print shipping or warehouse labels often
- You want one label at a time without cutting sheets

In Print labels, look for roll and continuous-feed options under manufacturers such as **Continuous Feed**.

### Continuous feed

**Continuous feed** stock is a long strip without fixed page breaks. Label Wizard treats continuous designs differently from multi-label sheets so your print layout matches the printer.

Continuous-feed rolls often print best at **203 DPI** on thermal printers. See [Getting the best print quality](/en/article/print-quality-dpi-e58jna/).

### Plain paper

**Plain paper** options let you design and print without a branded label sheet — useful for drafts or custom cut sizes. Alignment still depends on your printer margins and scale settings.

### How to pick stock in Label Wizard

1. Open **Sheets and rolls** or start **Design a label** → **Start from a sheet or roll**.
2. Filter by size, shape, or search (for example `Avery 5160` or `4x6`).
3. When printing, choose the same **Sheet or roll** in the print dialog so the preview matches your physical stock.
