Thermal sticker rolls

Thermal sticker rolls, also known as thermal label rolls, are a type of adhesive-backed paper or material that is designed to be printed on using thermal printers. These labels are commonly used in various industries for product labeling, shipping, inventory management, and more. Here are some key points about thermal sticker rolls:

• Material: Thermal stickers can be made from different materials, including paper, polyester, or other synthetic materials, depending on the application requirements. Some are designed to be more durable and resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature changes.
• Adhesive Type: The adhesive backing can vary based on the intended use. There are permanent, semi-permanent, and removable adhesives. Permanent adhesives are designed to stay put once applied, while removable adhesives allow the label to be taken off without leaving residue.
• Print Method: Thermal sticker rolls are printed using either direct thermal (DT) or thermal transfer (TT) printing methods. Direct thermal printing uses heat to activate the chemical coating on the label, creating an image. Thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon that transfers ink onto the label when heated by the print head, which can produce more durable prints.
• Core Size and Roll Diameter: Similar to thermal receipt paper, thermal sticker rolls come with specific core sizes, typically 1 inch (25.4mm) or 3 inches (76.2mm), and the roll diameter can vary. It’s important to ensure compatibility with your printer.
• Label Size and Shape: Thermal stickers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, such as square, rectangle, circle, or custom die-cut shapes, to fit the specific needs of the application.
• Applications: They are widely used in retail, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and food service for barcodes, price tags, product identification, shipping labels, and more.
