DTM Winder Series
Winders from DTM Print make it easy to un- and rewind large quantities of labels. Double your unwind capacity and no longer self-rewind the labels by hand.
They’re perfect for use with virtually any desktop label printer, no matter the printing technology. The DTM Label Winder Series includes the following models:
- DTM RW-4 Label Rewinder
- DTM RW-7 Label Rewinder
- DTM RW-8 Label Rewinder

The lateral guides of all DTM Label Winders guarantee an optimal parallel, tight and straight winding, which is essential for further processing, e.g. in a labelling unit. There's no need to work by hand anymore!
Load an up to 220 mm (8.66") wide roll and double your unwind capacity. Larger rolls typically have lower costs per label and save time as reloading circles decreases.
Tape the printed output onto a core of your choice, drop the dancer arm and start your job. Your labels will be rewound with perfect alignment and just the right amount of tension for either hand application or on a label applicator.
Each RW-4, RW-7 and RW-8 works as an unwinder, too!

Important Note: Pliability/flexibility/rigidity of the label is an important factor for the smooth transport of the label rolls in the rewinder. If the label is too flexible, no matter the thickness, it can cause uneven winding, slipping or stopping of the rewinder. Polypropylene, polyester and vinyl labels tend to be more flexible than paper labels. If you suspect the label stock is too flexible, it is recommended that the stock is tested on the rewinder before making any purchase decisions of label stock or the rewinder. Genuine DTM Label Stock substrates do not slip or cause any damage.
