(6) Any other information required by the regulations in this part or part 319 of this subchapter.
(d) The principal display panel shall be the part of a label that is most likely to be displayed, presented, shown, or examined under customary conditions of display for sale. Where packages bear alternate principal display panels, information required to be placed on the principal display panel shall be duplicated on each principal display panel. The principal display panel shall be large enough to accommodate all the mandatory label information required to be placed thereon by this part and part 319 of this subchapter with clarity and conspicuousness and without obscuring of such information by designs or vignettes or crowding. In determining the area of the principal display panel, exclude tops, bottoms, flanges at tops and bottoms of cans, and shoulders and necks of bottles or jars. The principal display panel shall be:
(1) In the case of a rectangular package, one entire side, the area of which is at least the product of the height times the width of that side.

(h)
(1) The statement of net quantity of contents shall appear on the principal display panel of all containers to be sold at retail intact, in conspicuous and easily legible boldface print or type in distinct contrast to other matter on the container, and shall be declared in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
(2) The statement as it is shown on a label shall not be false or misleading and shall express an accurate statement of the quantity of contents of the container. Reasonable variations caused by loss or gain of moisture during the course of good distribution practices or by unavoidable deviations in good manufacturing practices will be recognized. Variations from stated quantity of contents shall be as provided in § 317.19. The statement shall not include any term qualifying a unit of weight, measure, or count such as “jumbo quart,” “full gallon,” “giant quart,” “when packed,” “minimum,” or words of similar importance.
(3) The statement shall be placed on the principal display panel within the bottom 30 percent of the area of the panel in lines generally parallel to the base: Provided, That on packages having a principal display panel of 5 square inches or less, the requirement for placement within the bottom 30 percent of the area of the label panel shall not apply when the statement meets the other requirements of this paragraph (h). In any case, the statement may appear in more than one line. The terms “net weight” or “net wt.” shall be used when stating the net quantity of contents in terms of weight, and the term “net contents” or “content” when stating the net quantity of contents in terms of fluid measure.
(4) Except as provided in § 317.7, the statement shall be expressed in terms of avoirdupois weight or liquid measure. Where no general consumer usage to the contrary exists, the statement shall be in terms of liquid measure, if the product is liquid, or in terms of weight if the product is solid, semisolid viscous or a mixture of solid and liquid. For example, a declaration of 3⁄4-pound avoirdupois weight shall be expressed as “Net Wt. 12 oz.” except as provided for in paragraph (h)(5) of this section for random weight packages; a declaration of 11⁄2 pounds avoirdupois weight shall be expressed as “Net Wt. 24 oz.,” “Net Wt. 1 lb. 8 oz.,” “Net Wt. 11⁄2 lb.,” or “Net Wt. 1.5 lbs.”.
(5) On packages containing 1 pound or 1 pint and less than 4 pounds or 1 gallon, the statement shall be expressed in ounces or in pounds, with any remainder in terms of ounces or common or decimal fraction of the pound, or in the case of liquid measure, in the largest whole units with any remainder in terms of fluid ounces or common or decimal fractions of the pint or quart, except that on random weight packages the statement shall be expressed in terms of pounds and decimal fractions of the pound, for packages over 1 pound, and for packages which do not exceed 1 pound the statement may be in decimal fractions of the pound in lieu of ounces. Paragraph (h)(9) of this section permits certain exceptions from the provisions of this paragraph for margarine packages, random weight consumer size packages, and packages of less than 1⁄2 ounce net weight. Pargraph (h)(12) of this section permits certain exceptions from the provision of this paragraph for multi-unit packages.
(6) The statement shall be in letters and numerals in type size established in relationship to the area of the principal display panel of the package and shall be uniform of all packages of substantially the same size by complying with the following type specifications:
(i) Not less than one-sixteenth inch in height on packages, the principal display panel of which has an area of 5 square inches or less;
(ii) Not less than one-eighth inch in height on packages, the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 5 but not more than 25 square inches;
(iii) Not less than three-sixteenths inch in height on packages, the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 25 but not more than 100 square inches;
(iv) Not less than one-quarter inch in height on packages, the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 100 but not more than 400 square inches.
(v) Not less than one-half inch in height on packages, the principal display panel of which has an area of more than 400 square inches.
(7) The ratio of height to width of letters and numerals shall not exceed a differential of 3 units to 1 unit (no more than 3 times as high as it is wide). Heights pertain to upper case or capital letters. When upper and lower case or all lower case letters are used, it is the lower case letter “o” or its equivalent that shall meet the minimum standards. When fractions are used, each component numeral shall meet one-half the height standards.
(8) The statement shall appear as a distinct item on the principal display panel and shall be separated by a space at least equal to the height of the lettering used in the statement from other printed label information appearing above or below the statement and by a space at least equal to twice the width of the letter “N” of the style of type used in the quantity of contents statement from other printed label information appearing to the left or right of the statement. It shall not include any term qualifying a unit of weight, measure, or count such as, “jumbo quart,” “full gallon,” “giant quart,” “when packed,” “Minimum” or words of similar import.
(9) The following exemptions from the requirements contained in this paragraph (h) are hereby established:
(i) Individually wrapped, random weight consumer size packages shipped in bulk containers (as specified in paragraph (h)(11) of this section) and meat products that are subject to shrinkage through moisture loss during good distribution practices and are designated as gray area type of products as defined under § 317.19 need not bear a net weight statement when shipped from an official establishment, provided that a net weight shipping statement which meets the requirements of paragraph (h)(2) of this section is applied to their shipping container prior to shipping it from the official establishment. Net weight statements so applied to the shipping container are exempt from the type size and placement requirements of this paragraph, if an accurate statement of net weight is shown conspicuously on the principal display panel of the shipping container. The net weight also shall be applied directly to random weight consumer size packages prior to retail display and sale. The net weight statement on random weight consumer size packages for retail sale shall be exempt from the type size and placement requirements of this paragraph, if an accurate statement of net weight is shown conspicuously on the principal display panel of the package.

A Jumbo Thermal Label Roll is a large-format roll designed for high-volume printing applications, particularly suited for commercial and industrial environments that require extensive labeling. These rolls are made from thermal paper that changes color when exposed to heat, allowing for inkless printing through thermal printers.
Key Features:
1. **High Capacity**: Jumbo rolls provide a substantial amount of labels on a single roll, reducing the frequency of roll changes and increasing efficiency in continuous printing operations.
2. **Reprocessable**: Customers can reprocess the labels to suit their specific needs. This can involve customizing the size, shape, or layout of the labels post-production, such as die-cutting or perforating, to fit various applications.
3. **Print Quality**: The thermal paper is optimized for clear, crisp prints that are resistant to smudging and fading, ensuring that the labels remain readable and scannable over time.
4. **Versatility**: Jumbo thermal label rolls can be used in a wide range of industries, including logistics, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare, for product identification, inventory management, and compliance labeling.
5. **Adhesive Strength**: The labels are equipped with strong adhesives that adhere well to different surfaces, making them suitable for various environments, whether indoors or outdoors.
6. **Customization**: Labels can be pre-printed with static information such as logos, barcodes, or warning symbols, while leaving space for variable data to be printed later.
Applications:
– **Warehousing and Inventory Control**: For labeling items, pallets, and shelves with product information, inventory codes, or expiration dates.
– **Shipping and Logistics**: To print shipping labels that include tracking numbers, addresses, and package contents.
– **Product Packaging**: For applying labels that detail product information, safety instructions, and regulatory compliance.
– **Asset Tracking**: For marking equipment, machinery, and tools with unique identifiers for tracking and maintenance purposes.
Handling and Storage:
To ensure the longevity and print quality of the labels, jumbo thermal rolls should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This helps prevent premature activation of the thermal coating and maintains the adhesive properties of the labels.
In summary, a Jumbo Thermal Label Roll is a robust and flexible solution for businesses that demand efficient, high-volume label printing capabilities. Its capacity, reprocessibility, and print quality make it a valuable asset in optimizing operational workflows and meeting labeling requirements across various sectors.
