WHAT IS UNWIND DIRECTION
The unwind direction also known as the label roll direction, refers to the orientation of the label as they come off the roll to apply them to your products. The unwinding direction of the label is not important when you apply the NFC labels by hand. However, when you apply NFC labels with a labeling machine, the unwind direction becomes crucial to avoid improper label orientation.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE UNWIND DIRECTION?
If you are not sure which unwind direction will work for your labeling machine, you need to check the unwind direction of your applicator, read the manual of the machine, or contact the manufacturer of the machine .
