What is the difference between thermal label paper and ordinary thermal label paper?

Three thermal label paper and ordinary thermal label paper have significant differences in many aspects, these differences are mainly reflected in the material, performance, application scenarios and service life. Here's a breakdown of the differences:

First, material and coating

Ordinary thermal label paper: Usually using domestic ordinary paper materials, only has the basic waterproof function, the coating is relatively thin.

Three heat-proof label paper: the use of domestic high-quality paper special fabric, and in the thermal color layer coated with a protective layer, this layer of protective layer makes the three heat-proof paper with waterproof, oil-proof, anti-scratch and other characteristics.

Second, performance differences

1. Waterproof performance:

Although ordinary thermal label paper has a certain waterproof ability, it is relatively weak, and long-term contact with water may lead to blurred handwriting.

The heat-resistant label paper has stronger waterproof performance and can maintain good readability and stability in humid environments.

2. Oil resistance:

Ordinary thermal label paper usually does not have the ability to prevent oil, and it is easy to become dirty or damaged after contact with oil.

The three heat-resistant label paper can effectively resist grease erosion and maintain the cleanliness and integrity of the label.

3. Wear resistance:

Ordinary thermal label paper has poor wear resistance and is prone to scratches and wear.

The heat-resistant label paper has stronger wear resistance and can keep the writing clear in the environment of frequent contact and friction.

Third, application scenarios

Ordinary thermal label paper: Because its price is relatively low and can meet the general waterproof needs, it is widely used in general retail, bar code printing, logistics and transportation. However, due to its performance limitations, it is not suitable for use in harsh environments or scenarios requiring long-term storage.

Heat-proof label paper: due to its excellent waterproof, oil-proof, scratch-proof performance and long service life, it is widely used in fields with high performance requirements for label paper, such as shopping malls and supermarkets electronic weighing paper, clothing tags, international logistics sheets, etc. These scenarios often require labels to remain legible in wet, greasy or frequently touched environments.

Fourth, service life

Ordinary thermal label paper: due to the limitations of its material and coating, the service life is relatively short, and the writing may fade or fade after long-term storage.

Three heat-resistant label paper: it has a longer service life and can keep the writing clear and readable for a long time. In general, the heat-sensitive label paper can be stored for about 2 years or even longer.

In summary, there are significant differences between the three thermal labels and ordinary thermal labels in terms of material, performance, application scenarios and service life. When selecting a label, determine the appropriate label type based on actual requirements and application scenarios. For scenarios that need to be stored for a long time or used in harsh environments, triple-heat-proof label paper is a better choice.
