Labels, Ribbons & Receipt paper

Paper Labels : Direct Thermal v Thermal Transfer

There are are a two types of paper labels, Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer. There is not a great difference in pricing but the labels are generally considered non interchangeable and job specific.

Thermal Transfer labels require a ribbon and therefore a printer that accepts a ribbon.  These labels are designed to last up to 20 years and are suitable for medical records, library spine labels and some pathology testing.

Thermal Direct is heat sensitive and will darken over 2 years.  They are suitable for short term use.  We do not advise using them with a ribbon as it may smudge.

Polypropylene & Polyester Labels

Special Label Materials also exist for applications immersed in heat or water.

Polypropylene labels are rated from -25 to +50 degrees; the cost is approximately 2 x the cost of paper labels.

Polyester allows for more extreme temperatures like freezers and boiling water; being rated from -40 to +150 degrees; and is approximately 7 x the cost of paper labels.

Adhesive

There are two types of adhesive, removable and permanent.  Removable adhesive labes have a low tack glue which makes it easily removable without leaving any traces of the glue.  Permanent adhesive has a high tack glue which is not easily removed, there are various degrees of stickiness making some adhesives suitable for low temperature freezing.
