Hot glue and water glue thermal label paper which is more suitable for label printing

When choosing hot adhesive or water adhesive thermal label paper for label printing, multiple factors need to be considered, including application environment, cost, printing effect, etc. The following is a detailed analysis of the applicability of both in label printing:

Hot-glue heat-sensitive label paper

Advantages:

Strong adhesion: Hot adhesive Thermal label paper uses hot melt adhesive with strong adhesion, which can ensure that the label is firmly pasted on the surface of various materials and is not easy to fall off.

Good water resistance and chemical resistance: hot melt adhesive has good water resistance and chemical resistance, suitable for wet or chemically corrosive environment.

Strong printing adaptability: hot glue thermal label paper is not easy to deform during the printing process, and can maintain the flatness and clarity of the label.

Cons:

Higher cost: Compared with water adhesive thermal label paper, the production cost and use cost of hot adhesive thermal label paper are usually higher.

There are requirements for the use of the environment: hot melt adhesive may not be effectively bonded at low temperatures, and the decay rate is faster, and it is necessary to ensure that the labeling environment is suitable.

The labeling process is complex: When using hot adhesive thermal label paper, special heating equipment is required to melt the hot melt adhesive, and the labeling process is relatively complex.

Water adhesive thermal label paper

Advantages:

Environmental protection and non-toxic: Water adhesive thermal label paper uses water-based glue, non-toxic and tasteless, in line with environmental requirements, suitable for food, medicine and other fields of label printing.

Moderate price: The price of water adhesive thermal label paper is usually more moderate, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

Easy processing and storage: Water adhesive thermal label paper is relatively simple and convenient during processing and storage.

Cons:

Slightly weak adhesion: Compared with hot glue, the adhesion of water adhesive thermal label paper may be slightly weak, especially on some special material surfaces.

Poor water resistance: When water adhesive thermal label paper is soaked in water for a long time, the label may fall off or be damaged.

Limited printing adaptability: Under certain printing conditions, water adhesive thermal label paper may be deformed or have poor printing results.

conclusion

When choosing hot adhesive or water adhesive thermal label paper for label printing, it is necessary to decide according to the specific application scenarios and requirements:

If the label needs to be exposed to humidity for a long time or to withstand certain chemical corrosion, and has high adhesion requirements, it is recommended to choose hot adhesive thermal label paper.

If the application scenario is relatively dry and the adhesion requirement is not particularly high, while taking into account cost and environmental protection factors, water adhesive thermal label paper may be a more suitable choice.

In summary, there is no absolute "more suitable" hot adhesive or water adhesive thermal label paper for label printing, and the choice of which type needs to be determined according to the specific application scenario and needs. In practical applications, the choice can be made according to the comprehensive evaluation of the label's use environment, cost budget, printing effect and other factors.
