What is the use of different thickness of thermal label paper?

Different thicknesses of thermal label paper have their own specific uses, which are often closely related to the application scenario of the label paper, the required durability and cost effectiveness. The following is an overview of the use of thermal label paper according to the common thickness range:

1. 60-80μm thickness range

Use: The thermal label paper in this range is relatively thin, which is suitable for occasions where the label needs to be changed frequently. Because of its good penetration, good crimp performance, and relatively low cost, it is widely used in scenarios that require frequent information updates.

Examples of application scenarios: temporary promotion labels in supermarkets, temporary sorting labels in the logistics process, etc.

2. 80-120μm thickness range

Use: Thermal label paper in this range is one of the most widely used specifications. Its moderate thickness guarantees good image quality without significantly increasing printing costs, making it ideal for labels that need to be stored or displayed in the medium to long term.

Application scenario examples: supermarket cashier labels, warehousing and logistics labels, express documents, etc. These scenarios require labels to have a certain durability, and the cost must be controlled within a reasonable range.

3. Thickness range above 150μm

Purpose: This range of thermal label paper is relatively heavy, with better wear resistance, tear resistance and other properties, suitable for long-term storage or in the high-intensity environment to maintain the integrity of the label scene.

Example Application scenarios: File labels that need to be stored for a long time and identification labels on industrial devices have high requirements on durability.

Matters needing attention

Suggestion: When selecting the thickness of thermal label paper, determine the thickness according to the specific application scenario and requirements. For example, for labels that need to be changed frequently, thinner specifications can be selected to reduce costs; For labels that need to be stored for a long time or used in high-strength environments, thicker specifications should be selected to ensure durability.

Quality issues: The quality of thermal label paper produced by different manufacturers may be different, so you should choose a reputable and qualified supplier to purchase to ensure that the quality and performance of the label paper meet the requirements.

Storage and use: Thermal label paper should avoid humidity, direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity conditions during storage and use to ensure its quality stability and use effect.

In summary, thermal label paper with different thicknesses has its own specific uses and application scenarios, and users should choose the appropriate specifications and quality according to actual needs.
