Who are you already selling to? What industries?
Apologies, I was quickly posting while I had my wife in my ear.
Yes label jobs.
We have a small contract for cut vinyl car manufacturer stickers/labels and a few for sand blasting but other than that all of our printing is large format i.e vehicles.
I'd like to have a steady run of labels I can throw on the printer in-between doing the bigger jobs.
Thanks

My guess is many of your customers don't know they "need" labels...print them a short run of their logo as a small label the next time they get their truck lettered or a sign....You will be surprised how many label orders you get this way...

So you want to do more of a specific job (labels) but you have no idea why customers would want them? Or what to use them for?
Sounds like you should probably be trying to push a different product.
We run a lot of vinyl labels/decals. Mostly it’s for quick/easy advertising on places that wouldn’t be suitable for a sign or anything “long” term.
Essentially just the same details as a business card or a leaflet and they can run around town sticking them to street lights or wherever else they’ll go.
One quick example is a fuel drain service (for people that use the wrong fuel) the guy approaches local fuel stations and asks if he can put one on each pump. Generally the stations are happy to accept as it means if they get an idiot that used the wrong fuel, they have quick access to a fuel drain guy and it gets them off the forecourt quicker. We run thousands of those ones.

We probably printed $20k in labels in the 12 months prior to March...
Mostly for a couple of home based businesses, hair and body products and food products, heating and air companies equipment/maintenance labels, some industrial type labels for panels or equipment, local craft distillery (some of which were for hand sanitizer they were making...). Typically printed on our HP 365, calendared vinyl, Summa D160. Outsourced a couple bigger or specialty label jobs.
And was planning on picking up a dedicated label printing system from Afinia before covid due to the growth and labor involved, but that's on the back burner now until maybe the first of the year depending on how things go...
