Finding the correct thermal printer labels for your business can sometimes be complicated, especially if you are unsure about the print mode (i.e., direct-thermal or thermal transfer). With new models increasingly being introduced that operate in both modes, it's crucial that the labels you choose not only fit the printer model but are also compatible with the print mode used.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing thermal printer labels:
Print mode:
Direct-thermal: Labels coated with a heat-sensitive layer that darkens when heat is applied. They are typically more affordable but less durable than thermal transfer labels.
Thermal transfer: Labels printed using a ribbon infused with wax, resin, or a combination of both. These labels are more durable and can withstand harsh environments, but they are also more expensive.
Label size and shape: Thermal printers can handle a variety of label shapes and sizes, from standard squares and rectangles to circles, ovals, and even custom shapes.
Material: Thermal labels come in various materials, including paper, polyester, and polypropylene. The material you choose will depend on your specific needs, such as whether the label needs to be weatherproof or chemical-resistant.
Adhesive: Thermal labels come with a variety of adhesive strengths, from permanent to removable. Choose the adhesive strength that best suits your needs.
Color: Thermal labels can be white, transparent, or colored.
