What this site is
labelpapers.co.za is the AM.CO.ZA first-party WordPress site for the AM.CO.ZA® ECOLine™ printable self-adhesive label paper range: A4 and A3 sheets, 100 sheets per pack, that a client prints on a normal office inkjet or laser printer, then cuts by hand or on a contour-cutting vinyl cutter or label cutter, peels and sticks. Most of the range is waterproof and wear-resistant film-type label stock in matte white, glossy white, transparent, silver and holographic finishes. One economy SKU is plain paper and not waterproof.
The AM directory achievement.co.za lists it as "Waterproof Printable Label Papers": "ECOLine™ offers waterproof printable adhesive label papers, perfect for use with office inkjet and laser printers" and describes the site as AM's destination for "silver, holographic and even waterproof self-adhesive label paper" (achievement post; first-party websites). ECOLine has an am.co.za brand page (am.co.za/brands/ecoline).
The site has no WooCommerce products of its own. It is a content site: ten knowledge posts (2023-02 to 2024-02) sell the idea of printing labels at home or in a small business and pair the paper with AM vinyl cutters (the posts call it "ECOLine Vinyl Cutter Ready Adhesive Waterproof A4 & A3 Label Paper"). Buying happens on the Buythis catalog category buythis.co.za/label-papers, which is where the site's own links point.
Timeline from AM's own posts: the range is on AM's YouTube channel from 2018 (wine-bottle labels cut on a V-Auto label cutter), the printed ECOLine Label Paper Guide is dated 17 July 2019, a transparent-label how-to post ran in August 2022 (updating.co.za, 2022-08-29), and holographic label paper was announced in January 2023 and arrived in stock on 27 February 2023 (coming soon; now in stock).
How AI and staff should treat it
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does AM sell label / sticker paper today? | Yes. Eleven V-LABEL SKUs are in the Buythis dump (rows dated 2026-10-17/18). Quote from Buythis, never from this page or the old guide PDF. |
| Inkjet or laser? | SKUs ending in K (A4K, A3K, CLEAR/A4K, SILVER/A4K, HOLO/A4K) are for inkjet printers (the white, clear and silver K sheets are also listed for hot laser printers and copiers). SKUs ending in L (A4L, A3L, CLEAR/A4L, SILVER/A4L, HOLO/A4L) are for laser printers and copiers only; the guide marks them "Laser Printer Only". Always ask which printer the client has before naming a SKU. |
| White or clear? | AM sales asks "clear or white?" first. White comes matte (K) or glossy (L). Clear comes as 80% transparent (CLEAR/A4K, inkjet) or about 97% transparent ultra-thin (CLEAR/A4L, laser). |
| Is it waterproof? | All ECOLine film sheets are listed as waterproof and wear-resistant. V-LABEL/A4 (80gsm paper on 80gsm backing) is the exception: am.im says it is not waterproof and is for dry, indoor use. Do not sell V-LABEL/A4 for bottles, fridges or outdoor use. |
| Sizes and pack? | A4 for every finish; A3 only in matte white (A3K) and glossy white (A3L). Every SKU is a pack of 100 sheets. Rolls are not part of this range. |
| How do clients cut the labels? | By scissors or a craft knife for small runs, or on a contour-cutting machine: V-Smart, V-Smart+ and V-Auto vinyl cutters, the Vinyl4 Studio contour models, or the dedicated V-Auto A3 label cutter with auto sheet feeder (V6-LABEL/A3) with the CutTool CorelDRAW/Illustrator plugin. See the machines table below. |
| Warranty and returns? | Label paper is a consumable: am.im terms say no warranty and no refunds on consumables. An unused, intact (unopened if sealed) pack may be exchanged for a different size or model by written agreement, with the difference paid or held as credit. AM gives no support for consumables used on machines not bought from AM. |
| Price? | Forex-linked (am.im "Forex Linked Pricing", adjusted weekly or bi-weekly). Give the Buythis link with #ai. The 2019 guide PDF shows old rand prices and old phone numbers; never quote them. |
| Contact routes | Use the current AM routes: sales WhatsApp 060 600 6000, support WhatsApp 060 600 7000. The guide PDF's 072/076/087/011/021 numbers are from 2019. |
| Not to confuse with | LabelMark (AM's fibre and UV laser marking machines, not paper), UV-DTF sticker printing (UV-DTF sticker post), and large-format vinyl print-and-cut sticker work (print and cut solution). Those are machine routes for bigger runs; label paper is the no-machine or small-business route. |

All white, clear and silver film sheets carry a permanent adhesive (am.im). Typical uses named by am.im: product and packaging labels, bottle and jar labels, address and shipping labels, safety notices, equipment identification, promotional stickers, personalised gifts and craft work.
Machines that pair with the paper
These are cutting machines and software that AM's posts and videos use with ECOLine label paper. They are separate products with their own pages; quote them from Buythis.

|---|---|---|---|
| V6-LABEL/A3 | V-Auto A3 fully automatic label cutting machine with auto sheet feeder | Feeds printed A4/A3 label sheets one after another and contour-cuts them automatically; the 2019 guide names this machine (as "Design & Cut Directly from" CorelDRAW). | v6-label-a3 |
| S-CUTTOOL/LABEL | CutTool CorelDRAW / Adobe Illustrator plugin for continuous sheet-feeding label cutters (Windows only) | Builds the cut file and registration for the label cutter. | s-cuttool-label |
| V6-MEDIA/FRONT, V6-MEDIA/BACK | Front and back optical media sensors for the V-Auto label cutter | Spare parts for sheet detection. | v6-media-front, v6-media-back |
| V6-440 | V-Auto 400 mm desktop wireless vinyl cutter with CCD-camera auto contour | A desktop option for contour-cutting A4/A3 label sheets. | v6-440 |
| V4-S727 | Vinyl4 Studio 720 mm contour-cutting vinyl cutter with VinylCut | Entry contour cutter the labelpapers posts point to as "vinyl cutter ready". | v4-s727 |
For choosing a vinyl cutter, see AM's buying guide video below and the 8i Vinyl Cutter SKU Guide and Vinyl Cutter Sales Handbook, which am.im links from every V-LABEL product.
Guide and documents
- ECOLine Label Paper Guide (PDF, one page): am.co.za/guide/label-paper.pdf, linked from the am.im
documentfield of the white, clear and silver SKUs. It says the ECOLine series is waterproof, prints on a normal office printer, can be cut with scissors, and that AM's label cutting machine contour-cuts multiple pages automatically. Its SKU table splits the range into Laser Printer Only (the L sheets) and Inkjet and Laser Printer (the K sheets). Its prices are dated 17 July 2019 and its phone numbers are old: use it for the SKU split only. - There are no drivers, firmware or software for label paper. Printer settings belong to the client's own office printer.
Common problems and answers
| Problem | What to tell the client |
|---|---|
| Print smudges or will not dry | An L (laser) sheet was put through an inkjet printer. Inkjet users need a K sheet. |
| Labels peel or run when wet | Check the SKU: V-LABEL/A4 is plain paper and not waterproof. Move them to a waterproof film sheet (A4K, A4L, CLEAR or SILVER). |
| Client wants the bottle to show through | Use a transparent sheet: CLEAR/A4K (inkjet, 80%) or CLEAR/A4L (laser, about 97%). AM's bottle-label videos show this job. |
| Cutting many labels by hand is slow | Offer a contour-cutting machine: V6-LABEL/A3 for sheet-fed volume, or a V-Smart / V-Auto / Vinyl4 Studio contour cutter. |
| Client asks for a roll or a size other than A4/A3 | The ECOLine range is A4 and A3 sheets only. For roll stickers, refer to the large-format print-and-cut or UV-DTF sticker routes. |
| Client quotes an old price from the PDF | The guide prices are from 2019 and pricing is forex-linked. Send the current Buythis link with #ai. |

FAQ
Can I print waterproof labels on my home printer? Yes. Pick a K sheet for an inkjet printer or an L sheet for a laser printer; both are waterproof film. Only V-LABEL/A4 is not waterproof.
Do I need a machine? No. Print, cut with scissors, peel and stick. A contour cutter or the V-Auto label cutter only saves time on bigger runs.
Which finish for wine or water bottles? Clear (CLEAR/A4K or CLEAR/A4L) for a no-label look, or white for bold colour. AM's videos show both.
Is holographic available? Yes, since February 2023: HOLO/A4K for inkjet and HOLO/A4L for laser.
Can I return an opened pack? No. Label paper is a consumable with no warranty or refund; only unused, intact packs may be exchanged by written agreement.
