What are thermal labels?
Thermal labels are labels printed with direct thermal or thermal transfer technology, where heat transfers the image onto the label surface.
What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer?
Direct thermal prints without a ribbon on heat-sensitive material, while thermal transfer uses a ribbon (TTR) and produces a more durable, longer-lasting result.
Which ribbon should be used with thermal labels?
The ribbon must be matched to the label material and the intended application. We advise on the optimal combination of ribbon and material.
Are thermal labels suitable for barcodes?
Yes. Thermal transfer printing produces sharp edges and high contrast, which ensures reliable barcode scanning in logistics and industrial environments.
