The production cost of small roll thermal label paper mainly includes the following aspects:
1、 Raw material cost
Thermal paper backing: The bottom material of thermal paper, its quality and price directly affect the cost of the final product.
Thermal sensitive coating: This is the core part of thermal sensitive paper, composed of chemical substances such as colorless dyes and color developing agents, which undergo chemical reactions when heated to form visible images or text. The quality of thermal sensitive coating directly affects the printing effect and storage time.
Backing paper (if any): Some thermal label papers may come with backing paper to protect the thermal coating from damage during storage and transportation.
2、 Production cost
Equipment investment: The production of thermal label paper requires specialized equipment such as slitting machines, coating machines, etc. The purchase and maintenance costs of these equipment are part of the production cost.
Labor cost: The production process requires certain manual operations and management, including preparation of raw materials, operation of equipment, product testing and packaging, which will increase production costs.
Venue rental: The production site is an indispensable resource for the production of thermal label paper, and its rental is also a part of the production cost.
Water and electricity costs: A large amount of water and electricity are consumed during the production process, and these costs are also included in the production cost.
3、 Transportation cost
After the production of thermal label paper is completed, it needs to be delivered to customers through transportation. The transportation cost varies due to factors such as distance, mode of transportation, and quantity of goods. Generally speaking, long-distance transportation or the use of efficient transportation methods will increase transportation costs.
4、 Other costs
Packaging cost: In order to protect thermal label paper from damage during transportation and storage, packaging is usually required. Packaging materials, packaging design, and packaging process all incur certain costs.
Testing and certification costs: In order to ensure that the quality of thermal label paper meets relevant standards and requirements, testing and certification are required. These testing and certification processes will also incur certain costs.
In summary, the production cost of small roll thermal label paper is the result of comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects. In the actual production process, enterprises should optimize the production process reasonably, reduce production costs, and improve product competitiveness based on factors such as market demand, product quality requirements, and cost control objectives.
