What are the design principles for small roll thermal label paper?

The design principles of small roll thermal label paper are mainly based on various factors such as its usage scenario, printing effect, storage time, and impact on the printer. The following are the main principles that should be followed when designing small roll thermal label paper:

1、 Material selection

Paper quality: Choose high-quality paper as the bottom layer to ensure the strength and stability of the label paper.

Thermal sensitive coating: Thermal sensitive coating is a key factor affecting printing effect and storage time. Thermal sensitive coatings with reasonable chemical formulas and uniform coatings should be selected to ensure uniform and clear colors during printing, and to extend the shelf life of label paper.

2、 Printing effect

Color response: The color response of thermal label paper should be irreversible, that is, the color should be stable and not easily fade after printing. This requires that the colorless dye and color developer in the thermal sensitive coating can fully react to form a stable color.

Print clarity: When designing, the accuracy and printing speed of the print head should be considered to ensure that the printed label text or image is clear and easy to read.

3、 Save time

Long term durability: Choose thermal label paper that can be stored for a long time according to the needs of the usage scenario. High quality thermal label paper can be stored for several years at room temperature, while thermal paper with an unreasonable formula may only be stored for a few months.

Environmental resistance: When designing, the resistance of label paper to environmental factors such as light, heat, and moisture should be considered to ensure that the label is not easily faded or deteriorated during long-term storage.

4、 The impact on printers

Protecting the print head: The protective layer of thermal label paper should have certain wear resistance and lubricity to reduce friction between the print head and label paper, and protect the print head from damage.

Compatibility: When designing, the compatibility between label paper and printer should be considered to ensure that label paper can smoothly pass through the printer and print high-quality labels.

5、 Actual application requirements

Size and shape: Design the size and shape of label paper according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different application scenarios.

Information content: The information content on the label paper should be concise and clear, easy to identify and read. At the same time, the layout and arrangement of information should be considered to improve the readability and aesthetics of labels.

In summary, the design principles of small roll thermal label paper involve multiple aspects such as material selection, printing effect, storage time, impact on printers, and practical application requirements. When designing, these factors should be comprehensively considered to ensure that the label paper can meet the usage requirements and achieve the best printing effect.
