Labels may be supplied separately or on a roll or sheet. Many labels are pre-printed by the manufacturer. Others have printing applied manually or automatically at the time of application. Specialized high-speed [[label printer applicator]]s may be used to apply labels to packages; these and other methods may be subject to recognized standards.<ref>{{cite book|title=ASTM D5375 Standard Test Methods for Liner removal at High Speeds from Pressure-Sensitive Label Stock}} [[ASTM]]</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=ASTM D6252 Standard Test Method for Peel Adhesion of Pressure Sensitive Label Stocks at 90 deg Angle}} [[ASTM]]</ref> Some labels have protective overcoats, laminates, or tape to cover them after the final print is applied. This is sometimes before application and sometimes after. Labels are often difficult to peel and apply.  A [[label dispenser]] can speed up this task.
