When you're outfitting a packaging printing converting operation, the first decision is usually about the finishing step: do you need a slitter that cuts wide rolls into narrower ones, a rewinder that winds finished labels, or a die-cutter that also shapes them? The four entries in this comparison cover all three, with listed prices spanning a very wide range-from a compact label rewinder to a full STANAT SLITTING LINE.
The quick take: if you work only with narrow label rolls, the lowest-priced rewinder gets you rewinding without a lot of floorspace. If you need wider automatic slitting and rewinding for self-adhesive stock, the 420 machine is the new option to consider. If your work includes die-cut labels, the Mark Andy RotoFlex combines that with slitting. For continuous, heavy-duty slitting, the STANAT line is the highest-listed-price entry here and targets high-volume production.
Listed-price comparison

Product notes
STANAT SLITTING LINE
This is the biggest investment in the comparison, carrying the highest price in this group. The product is a used slitting line, and the focus is on the machine itself rather than surrounding accessories. If your packaging printing converting workflow is built around long production runs and you need a full line rather than a standalone cutter, this is the option that stands apart by price and scale. The limitation is that the price is far above the other three, so it is best matched to a facility that can keep such a line busy. Since it is used, this is not a new-machine purchase, but for a shop that processes large rolls daily, the capacity is the main draw.
420 automatic self-adhesive paper roll cutting slitting and rewinding machine
This is the more capable of the two new machines in the lower price range. It offers a 450mm max feeding width and a 16mm minimum slitting width, which is wider and more versatile than the compact rewinder's 150MM-or-less limit. It is described as requiring 220V, 50Hz, 1-phase power and weighing around 600kg, so it is a heavier, more production-oriented unit. The trade-off is that its price sits above the compact rewinder, and the power and weight need to be considered when planning your floor space. For a shop that needs automatic slitting and rewinding of self-adhesive paper, this machine provides a balanced middle ground.
Roll slitting machine, rewinding machine, roll label, rewinding machine label
This is the most affordable option in the comparison, with a machine size of 660×400×510mm and a maximum roll material width of 150MM or less. Those figures point to a compact unit for narrow label rolls, which is helpful if you're just starting out or if your label runs are small. The label roll inside diameter is 76mm, so you can quickly compare it with the cores you already use. The limitation is the narrow width: once your labels or materials exceed 150MM, this machine is not the fit you need. For a packaging printing converting shop focused on small-format label rewinding, the low price and small dimensions make it an easy entry point.
Label Die-Cutter - RotoFlex (Mark Andy) Roll Label Die-cutter
This used Mark Andy RotoFlex unit carries a price of USD 40,000 and is described as a 330mm web-width offline label finishing machine that handles die cutting and slitting. That combination is the key differentiator: it is the only product in this group that explicitly includes die-cutting, so it can handle shaped labels as well as straight slitting and rewinding. It is also described as being in like-new condition with only 200 hours of operation and as ready to run including an air compressor. The limitation is the price, which is well above the two new machines, plus the used condition that comes with any pre-owned finishing line. If your label jobs require die-cut shapes, this is the one to compare against the slitting-only options.
Final recommendation by use case
If your budget is tight and your rolls stay under 150MM, the compact rewinder is the least expensive path in this group. If you need a new machine that can handle wider stock and automatic slitting and rewinding, the 420 automatic self-adhesive paper roll cutting slitting and rewinding machine is the clear choice. If die-cut shapes are part of your label work, the used Mark Andy RotoFlex brings that capability to an offline finishing process. And if you are running a high-volume facility that needs a full slitting line, the STANAT SLITTING LINE is the top-capacity option here.
